Hello,
My name is Chris and I’m a citizen of the United States of America, but I’ve lived in South Korea for over ten years.
I have a BFA in book arts and creative writing from the Oregon College of Art and Craft in Portland, Oregon, and a TESOL certification. I’ve lived and worked in Asia since 2009. During this time, I have taught kindergarten, elementary, middle school, high school, and adults in full classes and one-to-one tutoring. My courses included typical English studies such as writing, spelling, grammar, and reading classes. I have also taught Media English, Conversational Topics, TOEIC Speaking, Test Preparation, Business English, Accent Reduction, and Social Club. As a freelance one-to-one tutor and a proofreader, I’ve helped countless students improve their speaking and writing skills.
