Thema von InteresseGeschichteReisenKunst
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!

Ich als Lehrkraft
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.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
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.

Lessons with Craig are so engaging! And what's more important they enriches me more than any other routine to learn English. Speaking with Craig causes inevitable fluence. Just booking his classes and nothing else to effort but enjoy his style to communicate.

Looking forward to Craig's classes as though it's my favourite series and the new episode is coming right now. But the most involving movie can't be comparable with our talks. Lesson time goes by unnoticed and it feels sort of wow-experience with huge gratitude to Craig for his proficiency to build up this ideal communication space. Definitely recommend him as a master of teaching English.

Craig is still the best teacher ever. It's so cool to discuss a huge variety of topics with so well-rounded person: psychological, existential, philosophical, cultural, linguistic, as well as chores and routines, you name it. Whatever subject we have we do not have those inconvenient pauses when nobody knows what to say to proceed the conversation. Sessions fly by and it would be wasting the time to have silence while we're talking

Another great lesson with Craig! We discussed the political situation in Israel and the United States, we discussed the storm that is coming to Israel. So many positive emotions from the lesson with Craig! He is an amazing teacher!

I absolutely recommend Craig as the best communicator. As we would say in Russia he can talk up even a deaf mute. I don't know how he works it out, feels kind of hypnosis hearing his questions. And then at the end of the lesson suddenly I realized it's over but remember that I spoke English so well with his support. Craig's classes are masterpieces.
