Hello, my name is Chris. I was born and raised in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Science and also hold a Master of Arts in Education. I have TESOL and CELTA certificates. I have been teaching in Korea since 2002, and I worked at several children's academies before starting work at Kyungsung University in Busan. During my time at Kyungsung, I had the opportunity to work with young adults and children. I worked in various after-school programs that helped children with pronunciation, grammar, conversation skills, and exam preparation. I’ve worked in several afterschool programs, where I assist children with pronunciation, grammar, conversation skills, and test preparation.

영국 초등 국민교과서 ORT Bookclub2 : 원어민 선생님과의 다독 챌린지
Today was the second session of the ORT native speaker class. Watching my child participate in the class looking much more relaxed than during the first session, I realized that consistency is indeed the answer. After the teacher read a sentence, she helped the child naturally immerse themselves in the content by having them look up the situation in a picture or repeat it. What I particularly liked was that the teacher actively responded to what the child said and generously offered praise such as “Great job!” and “That’s right!”

영국 초등 국민교과서 ORT Bookclub2 : 원어민 선생님과의 다독 챌린지
Today, my child started their first ORT (Oxford Reading Tree) class with a native speaker. I was worried they might be a little nervous since it was their first time, but the teacher greeted them brightly and kindly, which immediately brought a smile to their face. The first class was conducted using an ORT book. The teacher showed pictures and encouraged the child to say the words themselves, and by repeating short sentences to build confidence, my child was able to participate without feeling pressured.

I signed up because the teacher's reviews were really good. And as expected, it's a thumbs-up class! I signed up for the class without asking my child first, so at first, they strongly resisted. They haven't had much exposure to English and are quite shy. However, once they joined the class, they said it was so much fun and wanted to keep taking it. Since they only knew how to say "Yes" throughout the entire class, I think the teacher must have been very frustrated.😭 Despite that, I was so grateful that the teacher led the class so comfortably!! I am really looking forward to future classes.
