Hi. I'm Kurt Russel Gamalong. Some call me Kurt and others call me Russel. I am from the Philippines and has been teaching for almost more than years now. Personality wise, I'm quite a bubbly person. I like making jokes though there are many times that it had failed me. Nevertheless, I'm still quite an optimistic person. I like reading, most of my free time is used for reading. Right now, I'm reading Chinese Xianxia novels. I still have other hobbies such as carperntry and farming. One day, I will build a house with my own two hands. 5 years might not be too long of an experience teaching English, but it should be adequate. I've taught students of all ages from kids as young as 3 years old to grandpas wanting to learn more. I am TESOl certified and also trained in the JK-12 curriculum. I am also quite well equipped when it comes to IELTS speaking. I am the kind of teacher who likes fun classes. I like to teach topics related to sciences, technology and maths. Freetalking is probably my favorite but I can also teach business English, IELTS, JK-12 lessons, exam preparations and so on. I can also help with editing articles and giving detailed instructions on how to make articles. I like talking about experiences of any kind, may it be travel, family, marriage(though I'm not married) and so on. Overall, my teaching style is quite the type where whatever I feel is the most comfortable for the student will be what it is. I believe that the best outcome is one where a student is ab...

My fifth Lesson In this lesson, we talked about our past experiences and communication apps. What surprised me most was that Teacher Kurt had already had a WeChat account around 2012, even earlier than I did. He also knew about and had used QQ, one of the earliest popular online communication apps in China. All of this left a strong impression on me. Throughout the lesson, we kept exchanging our experiences and thoughts. I was so engaged in expressing myself and understanding Teacher Kurt's ideas that sometimes I almost forgot I was speaking English. As a result, I picked up new vocabulary and expressions naturally. This is completely different from memorizing vocabulary lists on my own. A big thank-you to Teacher Kurt!

The teacher is very thorough and patient. I think Filipino teachers offer the best value for money. They speak English fluently and clearly. Since we share the same time zone, it’s really convenient for Chinese students to study with them. They pay great attention to details and are well‑suited to structured learning preferred by Chinese learners.

My fourth lesson In this lesson, I shared what I had been struggling with and what had been weighing on me these days. I really appreciate Teacher Kurt for listening to me vent so attentively, without making rushed judgments or giving me black-and-white advice. He cared more about how I was feeling and tried to put himself in my shoes. He also gently encouraged me not to shut myself away in my own world, but to step out and get to know the real world, even when it doesn't always turn out the way I imagine. Talking with Teacher Kurt, I gradually started to feel better. His thought-provoking words really gave me a fresh perspective and made me think deeply about many things. Some of his words may stay with me for a long time and become a meaningful milestone in my life. A simple "thank you" doesn't feel like enough to express how grateful I am.
