TEACHER TESTIMONIALS

In a year and a half teaching classes for Chris and watching him teach, I have seen always seen him put the students and their needs first.  Success is just as important to Chris as to his students - it is his main motivation inside and outside the classroom. Many people can speak English.  Few can teach it, but far fewer people I have met approach the teaching of adults with so much professionalism, humanity, and respect.  I also have seen that he treats other teachers or business associates as anyone would want to be treated, and not necessarily how they would expect.  I think this is why his students are so satisfied with him.

Favio Saavedra

Former ESL Teacher

I found Chris to be responsive, competent, and reliable, a person of integrity, someone who always had time for the client, the situation, or me.  He also had my back as a teacher, as I discovered when I had the one client in 9 years of being a teacher I couldn't reach or reason with.  He accepted my frailties without judgment, and valued my strengths.  The clients I got through Premiere were committed to learning and fun and interesting people.  Chris would always get it done, find a solution, and everyone involved would feel happy with the outcome.  I highly recommend Premiere, and anything else he is involved in.  Hire this man, work with this man; you'll be so glad you did.

Zoe Bell

Former ESL Teacher

Working for Premiere English gave me the rare freedom to have my own teaching style, and to use my creativity to develop the methods and resources that I thought best. I was able to focus on having classes that resulted in real improvement and were enjoyable for the students and for myself, and I never felt pressured to "teach to the test".  But probably my favorite thing about the experience was the relationships that I was able to form with my students, who were interesting, intelligent people from all over the world. I highly recommend Premiere English as a job experience.
