Professor da italki desde 20 de Sep de 2021
Tópico de interesseHistóriaViagemArte
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!

Minha atuação como professor
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.
Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
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.

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.

Craig always remember what you say and he asks insightful questions based on it. I was surprised that he could infer so much from the limited information I shared in class. The time flew by and I'm already looking forward to the next 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!

I'm new on italki and this was my first lesson. I was nervous and afraid to express myself at first, but Craig showed great patience and enthusiasm, which really boosted my confidence and encouraged me to speak. He was curious and interested in what I shared, and he guided the conversation deeper so I could have more chances to express myself. I feel lucky to have had such great first-lesson experience. I will definitely continue studying with him.
我刚开始用italki,也是第一次上外教课。一开始很紧张不敢表达,但是老师很耐心热情,增强了我的信心,鼓励我去说。老师对我分享的内容充满了好奇与兴趣,而且会引导话题深入发展,让我有更多机会去表达。第一次上课的体验就这么好,感觉很幸运。我接下来会继续上课。☺️另外,也推荐中国的朋友们来上课,能感觉到老师对不同文化的尊重。
