About Me
Hello! My name is Chris - I'm a highly experienced and passionate English teacher from the UK. I specialise in helping higher level students to take their English to the next level.
I'll provide the support you need to meet your specific goals, whether you need to improve your spoken fluency and confidence, elevate your vocabulary, learn more idiomatic language such as phrasal verbs and expressions, identify and fix your grammar problems, improve your pronunciation or prepare for an English exam.
I am a highly qualified and experienced teacher. I have now been teaching English for 12 years, and I continue to find it a hugely enjoyable, constantly challenging and deeply rewarding profession. I love my job, and I think you'll find that this comes across in my teaching!
I obtained the Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) from International House Buenos Aires in 2010, and the Cambridge DELTA (Diploma in English Language Teaching to Adults) from British Study Centres in Oxford in 2013. I constantly seek to develop and improve my teaching.
I studied Philosophy at Cardiff University, graduating with a First in 2007. I then studied for a Masters Degree in Latin American Development at the University of London, achieving a Merit in 2009.
My teaching experience has encompassed a wide range of levels from intermediate (B1) to advanced (C1) and proficiency (C2).
I have taught both General and Business English, both in groups and on a 1-to-1 basis. I have also helped many students to pass the Cambridge First (FCE), Advanced (CAE) and Proficiency (CPE) exams, as well as the IELTS exam.
I'm originally from North Devon (definitely the most beautiful part of the UK!) but over the years I have lived and worked in places as diverse as Oxford, Buenos Aires and Bogota.
I enjoy doing lots of things, especially cooking, reading, learning Spanish, walking and running. More recently, I have been spending a lot of time looking after my young daughters! I also love meeting and getting to know new people - this is a big reason why I enjoy my job so much.

My trial lessons
Our trial class will first and foremost be an opportunity for us to meet each other and introduce ourselves.
You can then describe your needs, and I'll explain my approach to give you an idea of what form our classes will take.
You'll also have the opportunity to ask me any questions you have if you'd like to know more about my background, my experience, or anything else you're curious about!
If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact me before booking a trial. Thanks!
