I'm Chris, a passionate English tutor with a degree in Linguistics and Phonetics. As a native English speaker who has lived in Brazil, Spain, and various Latin American countries, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise and real-world language experience to my lessons. I'm fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, which helps me understand the challenges faced by language learners. My goal is to make English accessible and enjoyable for all my students, regardless of their current level or learning objectives.
With several years of tutoring experience, I've worked with students of all levels, from beginners to advanced learners. I've taught business English to professionals and helped academic students improve their writing and presentation skills. My linguistics expertise allows me to offer specialised help with pronunciation and accent reduction. I've successfully tutored students online and in-person, adapting my methods to suit individual learning styles and goals.
My teaching approach is student-centered and highly adaptable. I begin by assessing each student's needs, goals, and learning style. Lessons are then tailored to address specific areas for improvement while building on existing strengths. I use a mix of interactive exercises, authentic materials, and targeted practice to ensure rapid progress. My linguistics background allows me to break down complex language concepts into easily understandable elements. I focus on making lessons engaging and enjoyable, as I believe that motivated students learn more effectively. Whether you're looking to improve conversation skills, prepare for exams, or perfect your pronunciation, I'll create a personalised learning plan to help you achieve your English language goals.
