About Me
italki teacher since Mar 29, 2021Interest topicMedical & HealthcareScienceTech
Hello, everyone! I'm Kris, a fully qualified TEFL teacher from Leeds with 9 years of experience teaching English in various countries. My teaching journey evolved from traditional schools to private tutoring and online teaching. Fueled by my passion for understanding how the human mind learns, I, along with my wife Amanda, created the AnderCook Method. This language learning approach, developed while cycling the world, focuses on contextual learning, immersing students in real-life situations. The AnderCook Method has successfully guided hundreds of students to master English, making language acquisition engaging and effective.

I come from a family of teachers. My brother is an exceptional, foreign languages teacher who has more than 20 years experience teaching at the highest level. My mother, who has been a nurse her entire working life, specialises in teaching other nurses how to perfect their trade. This influence has embedded a deep passion for helping people learn and understand things in me so allow me to share that wealth of family knowledge with you, too.My lessons & teaching style
My method of teaching is very simple, how can I help you teach yourself English? Traditional ways of teaching strips students of their natural curiosity and makes the learning experience boring and sometimes painful. I will help you re-learn how to learn by harnessing your natural, human curiosity so you can teach yourself English. My method of teaching works for everyone: Children, adults, teenagers and for every conceivable situation, such as: Interview prep, exam prep, general English, children's lessons, group lessons, advanced English lessons etc......
I challenge you to a take a chance and see what you are truly capable of. See you soon :)My teaching material

Teaching experience
2016 - 2017
English TeacherFor one year, I had the privilege of teaching in a small city in Western China, where I served as the only native English teacher at the local school. My responsibilities encompassed instructing students across various age groups, spanning from kindergarten to middle school. Each class comprised an average of 50 children
2017 - 2019
English TeacherFor two years, I had the opportunity to teach at a private educational centre in the southern region of China. Unlike my previous experience, the classroom sizes were smaller, allowing for more personalized interaction with each student. I found this teaching environment preferable and conducive to effective learning.
2019 - 2020
Foreign Teacher ManagerFor my final year in China, I was appointed as the Foreign Teacher Manager at a newly established private English school. In this role, I leveraged my teaching knowledge and expertise to train and mentor other educators. It was a rewarding opportunity to share my experience and contribute to the professional development of fellow teachers.
2021 - 2024
Online ESL TeacherSince 2021, my teaching endeavours have been exclusively conducted online, where I've delivered thousands of lessons to hundreds of students. One-on-one teaching is my passion as it enables me to deeply understand my students' needs and foster meaningful connections with them.

Kris 是一非常好的英语老师，👍👍👍更像一个语言教练，会高效率的引导你学习英语，让学生自己慢慢具备英语思维去快速思考和学习语言。在你以为是英语难点的学习中，他会用最简单易懂的方法让你学会，他真的在教学生学习英语方面是一个专家！并且他还在持续进修，这意味着我们也在跟着更好的提升英语。我遇到的第一个外教就是Kris，跟着他坚持学习1年多了，听力，口语，阅读，关键是学习英语的自驱力提升的很好。希望越来越多的人可以跟他学习！

I recently started English classes with Kris and I must say, I am very impressed! From the very first lesson, Kris demonstrated a profound understanding of my specific learning needs. He quickly adapted his teaching methods to suit my needs, making each session tailored just for me. Beyond his exceptional skills as an educator, Kris is also a truly charismatic individual and makes each lesson feel light and enjoyable. I highly recommend Kris to anyone looking to improve their English skills in a supportive and dynamic environment!
