About Me
italki teacher since Oct 21, 2015Interest topicTechScienceBusiness & Finance
Welcome!
10+ Years Teaching - I specialise in helping professionals advance their careers and improve their English communication skills at work.
🔰Please read ‘Me as a Teacher’ and ‘My lessons & teaching style’ for more information about the lessons!
I started my career early in Finance, then switched to working in visual advertising - I’ve run multiple small businesses. I qualified as a teacher in 2012, and have been full time on italki since 2020!
Now, I program my own data tools in Python and train Machine Learning algorithms to track my students progress, and for fun!Me as a Teacher
Specialised in teaching Programmers, Product Managers, Sales, HR, and Technical leads.
Improve your communication skills by speaking in-depth on hundreds of interesting topics.
Is it easy to understand your colleagues, but when you need to speak, you don’t know what to say?
I provide you with a safe environment to speak, make mistakes, and get feedback.
I focus heavily on what you really need to speak confidently, and with accuracy. Everything in the lesson is about your improvement, and your increasing your skills!
More about the lessons below 🔽My lessons & teaching style
Boost your English communication skills by Speaking, Listening, and Reading
⚫Homework: Each lesson, I will provide you with some homework that is focused on a specific topic, or pain point to help you progress. You can find out more about this in the trial lesson!
⚫The Goal: Speak clearly, confidently, accurately, and as much as possible! As you are speaking, I will provide immediate written feedback, and interrupt if I cannot understand. This is important to improving, and knowing where you are making mistakes.
📈Each week, I will provide you with data and tracking on your speaking progress, the major mistakes you are making, and what you can focus on!My teaching material

Chris’ lessons are very useful for me. He helped me be more confident in English conversation and guided me through many interesting topics that I had never talked about before. I look forward to more homework :-)
