About Me
italki teacher since Dec 2, 2021Interest topicMusicHistoryPets & Animals
Hi there! :D Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. I am a native English speaker living in the north of England with a passion for languages and cultures. After nine years of a boring managerial job I decided to obtain my TEFL level 5 certificate to teach English as a foreign language, and since then I haven't looked back! My experience as a teacher here on italki has been excellent, and I enjoy every second of it. My dream is to teach English as a foreign language abroad, so now I am finally following it.
Have a read through my reviews, send me a message if you have any questions, i don't bite!Me as a Teacher
I am very attentive to the needs of the student and if there is anything you would like me to prepare beforehand then I will gladly do so! I have a relaxed approach to teaching and want you to feel as comfortable as possible. My lessons always start and end with a big smile.
From level A1 through to proficiency I will try and assist you on your language journey. I believe that learning is easier when it's fun, and if you make any mistakes during our class hen i am always ready and listening to be able to correct any mistakes, I have a very keen ear!My lessons & teaching style
Lessons and their planning will be set completely at your pace. You will have an idea of how quickly or slowly you will want to the learn the language and I am just your helping hand to achieve that goal. An introductory analysis questionnaire will be given during the initial class, or before so that I can gauge your level of English.
I am an incredibly patient teacher who also appreciates the time and commitment needed for learning a new language,My teaching material

Wow, that’s been an awesome chat, the main thing is that Craig actually paid a lot of attention to my needs and has been actively helping me to focus on the smallest details of my accent and pronunciation. He actually shared his screen and apart from simply chatting we also had text notes with some bits and pieces of which words (word patterns) I could learn to pronounce better to sound more native-like. I really appreciate that and also thanks for being so sympathetic and understanding in terms of where I come from and stuff like political views, and whatever. Hope I can book more classes with Craig soon, they are definitely worth it. Cheers!

A great lesson! Craig has a lot of patience and during our lesson he corrects my mistakes, explaining everything really clearly. I feel that with him my English is finally improving! Thanks for the lesson :)
I can't wait to have another one)

Excellent conversation with Craig, He has this relax style that makes the conversation flows naturally. He keeps the conversation interesting with his questions, besides, He speaks spanish too!!! so, It's easier when you can't find the english word in your head. Muchas gracias Craig
