I respect Chris in many ways. He is a goal-oriented teacher who challenges me appropriately. Also, he speaks at a natural pace rather than slowing down unnaturally.

Chris is really patient and easy to talk to. I really love his classes! He can help us have smooth conversations, and he uses a spiral ascending teaching method. Through his classes, I’ve learned tons of vocabulary words and authentic expressions on different topics. He also adjusts his teaching style to fit my needs, and will send me tailored post-class materials. This helps me figure out exactly what I need to practice. Overall, Chris is an amazing teacher!
