InterestsHistoryReizenArt
I currently live in southern China. I have been fortunate enough to live in many fascinating places, from Antigua, Guatemala to greater Tokyo, Japan. I love to explore many places and am especially fond of anything in the outdoors. When I’m not in class you’ll often hear a splash! That’s right, I seek out lakes and rivers and love to paddleboard, swim or snorkel. I also love to hike as well. However, it is my goal in class to hear about your experiences and I love many things and am interested in a wide variety of topics, from technology and marketing to local cuisine and decor!

Ik als leerkracht
I have lived abroad for most of the last ten years, spending a great deal of time in China, Korea, Japan and Guatemala. I have taught in almost all of these places with a wide range of students, both in ages and English level. This has included primary school students, middle schoolers, college undergraduates and adults engaged in business and science. I have taught large classes of students in writing, speaking, grammar and interviewing skills. I have also conducted many conversant classes, one on one, focusing on a student's particular interest and focus. As I have studied foreign languages myself, I have a strong understanding of the challenges and joys of second language learning.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My goal as a teacher is for you to have a comfortable, constructive environment to learn in and practice your skillset. I am a communicative teacher which means my intention is for you to use English. Without the ability to practice there will never be a chance to grow with your language. I have a wide variety of interests and always engage students in their own unique life experiences and hobbies. This is your chance for a fun and rewarding time.

At the beginning of the lesson we can discuss the weather but a while later I find that we consider complex social issues like legal places for drug addicts to consume substances and overwhelming information feeds. I'm impressed how Craig can manage it out to be so energetic and grasp the entity of other's interests. Enjoyed the class as usual.

So good to practice English on topics you're interested in. And Craig knows how to build up conversation on that naturally. Time flies by but topics to cover do not run out. Because it's Craig! You can't help speaking with him. I always have a lot to say to him cause he has magic questions to ask properly. And vuala, I speak without fear thanks to Craig.

First lesson of 2026! This time, our topics ranged from career choices to means of transportation, and Craig asked great questions that naturally led me to think more deeply and express myself in a more advanced way. I was surprised to find myself discussing deep and challenging topics that I never believed I could talk about in a foreign language. That's because Craig always brings out the best in his students. Thanks for another great lesson!

A great lesson as always. We make great use of the class time, and I get plenty of opportunities to express myself. I find that I no longer translate in my mind before speaking English. Besides, it is always fun to have conversations with Craig. We cover a wide range of topics and share different perspectives, which makes this experience not just about language learning, but also about cultural exchange and broadening my horizons. I've learned so many things I didn't know before.

Craig naturally incorporates corrections and more accurate or advanced alternatives into his responses, which makes the dialogue flow smoothly and the lessons more efficient. I've definitely made progress and become more confident speaking English. And I've also learned a lot about the U.S. Can't wait for the next lesson!
