I am an experienced, engaged and knowledgeable teacher. Creating an open, honest and positive relationship between myself and my students is at the centre of my teaching philosophy.
Here are a couple of quotes from my Chinese references:
“Charles has exceeded expectations as an English teacher in Tanggu branch school. The students and teachers were more than satisfied with his performance.”
Hampson Education Training School, 2014
“Charles is very popular with the students because of his open teaching style and willingness to give his time after classes … He is a dynamic and energetic teacher. We shall be very sorry to see him go.”
Shaoguan University, 2013
I am looking for an interesting and challenging teaching position in Asia.
