Bio
Chris Gray
Stephen and I both worked for EF in China for over 5 years and were colleagues at EF Guangzhou, Jiangnanxi centre in China for 2 years. Stephen is an excellent teacher with a lot of energy and enthusiasm in class. Students were always having fun in his classes and he was consistently regarded by students and colleagues as one of the best teachers at EF. As a colleague he is very easy going, always well prepared and extremely reliable. I would without hesitation recommend him to any potential employer.

I have worked alongside Steve at Performance Education for the last 18 months. Steve is a unique combination of advanced teaching ability, commitment to planning and lesson preparation and a great sense of humour. He was always willing to help out other trainers and students alike. His understanding of Chinese culture, having worked in China for a number of years, has been invaluable for me, particularly, and no doubt appreciated by all students too. I would love to again work with Steve and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any training role in Corporate Australia.
