Christopher joined our school in February 2017 as an intern teacher part of the Teach and Learn China program. We were lucky to have Chris in our campus in Guanghan where he taught English to our university students who were studying Engineering and Logistics. During his time with us Chris attended every class, on time and always arrived prepared for each lesson. He became quite popular amongst students rather quickly and his students often spoke highly of him and they were always willing to help him with adjusting to China wherever he needed. Chris taught a variety of different lessons on English through speaking, listening, reading and visual exercises and our school was quite pleased with his work. We wish him all the best in his future ventures and I am sure he will be an excellent addition to any school or business that is lucky enough to have him.

Chris was a proactive and enthusiastic contributor who would make a great addition to any team. Chris impressed all of us by taking on additional projects which resulted in great improvements within our department. He thinks outside the box. Once these changes were implemented Chris moved on to training the department using customer service enhancements. He made the training interesting and fun. Chris was a joy to work and put a smile on everyone's face. I have no hesitation in recommending him going forward. He's one of a kind.
