Chris is an Australia certified trainer and seminar presenter with international experience. He is also a highly capable English teacher with a focus on student learning and engagement. Experienced teacher with more than 10 years of service to students from diverse age and backgrounds.

He trained students to successfully pass IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge tests; coached them how to pronounce, listen and comprehend better and speed up their retention.

Chris facilitates and teaches difficult concepts to students by breaking down topics, scaffolding, reteaching, and checking for understanding. He introduces effective learning skills to the students as he goes along and carefully monitors the balance in their learning process. Sometimes a story is used to convey meanings or understand cultural contexts.

Chris engages students by fostering their autonomy and desire to learn. Lessons are interactive and target learners' gaps and aptitudes. The lesson plans are detailed and based on goal-setting and observable outcomes, which builds the individual's confidence and encourages her initiative.
For professional learners, Chris offers years of coaching and career counsellor's experience to facilitate their more specific needs.

The first meeting with a student is like a coaching session, during which both establish rapport, define expectations, charter the structure of the course and set key outcomes and time frame.
