๐ Future student, and well done on taking a step towards expanding your horizons. My name is Chris. I'm an experienced English teacher that works as a CELPIP instructor at an immigration consultancy in Canada.

Methodologies deployed in my class are
๐ Direct method:
For the direct method, all teaching is done in the target language, translations are not allowed in class, and the focus lies heavily on speaking instead of grammar.
๐ Task-/project-/inquiry-based learning method:
This teaching strategy heavily emphasises the studentsโ and individuality. By asking questions and solving problems, with the teacher as a mere learning facilitator.
๐ Communicative language teaching method:
CLT emphasises the studentsโ ability to communicate in real-life contexts, and students learn to make requests, accept offers, explain things, and express their feelings and preferences.My teaching material

Chris is a good professional teacher. I Just had a first lesson with him and time went by very fast. Now I see what I need to improve to achieve my goal. I am going to book more lessons with Chris.

I've been lucky of being taught by Chris, who helped me achieve my goal of passing the CELPIP exam. His classes were an enjoyable and effective learning experience, perfectly tailored to my needs. He had a knack for explaining complex topics with clarity, keeping the classes engaging and interactive. With his constant support, I surpassed my own expectations and achieved remarkable results on the exam. I'm grateful for his guidance and help!
