About Chris
My decision to move into teaching is a natural extension of my professional background and personal values. Over the past 17 years working as a publicist with SBS Television, I developed advanced skills in writing, communication, and storytelling, working in environments where clarity, accuracy, and audience engagement were essential. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how language works in real-world contexts and how to communicate ideas effectively to diverse audiences.
Teaching allows me to pass on these skills in a meaningful and practical way. I am motivated by the opportunity to help students develop confidence in their own communication, whether that is through improving their writing, strengthening their reading comprehension, or building their spoken English. I find it rewarding to see learners gain clarity and independence in their thinking and expression.
My academic background in English Literature, combined with my Graduate Diploma in TESOL, has equipped me with both the theoretical knowledge and practical teaching strategies to support learners from a wide range of backgrounds. I am particularly interested in helping students connect language learning with real-life application, ensuring that what they learn is useful, relevant, and lasting.
Ultimately, I want to teach because I value the impact that strong communication skills can have on a person’s opportunities and confidence. I am committed to creating a supportive and structured learning environment where students feel encouraged to develop their abilities and achieve their goals.
