About Me
italki teacher since Sep 10, 2021Interest topicMusicFilms & TV SeriesScienceBusiness & Finance
Hello, my name is Christopher. I was born and raised in Canada. I am a native English speaker with a "typical" North American accent.
I am a semi-retired film worker of twelve years and also worked in concert and theatre events. My interests and hobbies include film, music, playing the drums and guitar, travelling, learning Spanish, staying fit in the gym and hiking. I enjoy reading and learning about history, geography, religion, philosophy, finance as well as other topics.
I have travelled to many countries over the years and have a curiosity towards different cultures and experiencesMe as a Teacher
I was educated in Toronto, Canada, hold a diploma in Business studies, as well as a Bachelor degree in Sociology. I am TEFL certified and have experience teaching English online as well as in in class. I have also taught drum lessons and trained workers in the film industry.
I think you will find that I am very patient and encourage discussion. Making mistakes is how you learn and I find reward in helping students overcome their obstacles. I myself am currently learning Spanish and understand the difficulties.My lessons & teaching style
I take a flexible approach based on the student's needs, but generally employ some degree of an "ESA" method.
After a first class, I will create a personalized curriculum which will be continually adjusted to ensure you are getting what you need.
Conversation of course, is a natural and enjoyable way of learning. I usually find it necessary, to employ some assortment of learning tools and material to help the process. I very much encourage questions and believe that lesson plans should be decided by both student and teacher.My teaching material

My son enjoyed the first lesson with Chris very much! He told that Chris is a very knowledgable and interesting teacher and he would like to learn with him.

Chris has helped me a lot as a proofreader and an editor. He not only corrected odd sentences and words, he also removed unnecessary part from the text, making the text clearer. Here is an example, he has changed “focus on more important things” with “prioritize.” I like edits like this, they really have improved the text.

老师主动问答的时间不多 大多数时候是我开头顺着话题说下去 且较为死板 气氛氛围有点尴尬
