Certified English teacher from New York with over 17 years of experience With over 17 years of experience teaching English, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of students with a wide range of needs and goals. I have always been very passionate about helping my students build their confidence in their English-language skills, and I look forward to helping you build confidence and achieve your goals as well. I am a CELTA-certified instructor who has taught in New York, where I am from, Moscow, where I lived for 5 years, and Paris, where I am currently based. I presently work with intermediate to advanced students who seek to improve their English-language skills for personal, professional, and academic purposes. Because all students are different, I always make sure to adapt to my students' individual needs and goals. In addition to being a patient and respectful teacher, I also try to maintain a friendly and comfortable learning environment where my students can maybe have a laugh or two. After all, language learning should be fun! After getting to know you a bit, assessing your level, and discussing your goals in the first lesson, I will create a study plan catered to your personal needs. I am always open to my students' feedback, and students should never be afraid to ask to focus on something in particular. Depending on a student's needs, lessons can range from being very structured with a focused schedule to being freer, where topics can emerge as we go.

I have finally found a teacher who is able to adapt to my needs. I have had lessons with other teachers here on Italki, but Chris was the only teacher who understood what I wanted from the lesson one. I absolutely like the professional approach he has towards his work. Thank you!
