Christian Poblano

I'm Chris. I was born in Mexico, but raised in the United States. I'm a coffee maniac and I thoroughly enjoy sitting at a coffee shop for a few hours having a good read, or writing. I also enjoy taking a good walk every morning and going to the gym. Some of my other interests include learning about the human mind via the cognitive sciences (psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy). I'm always open to having a nice talk and trying to connect with people with different life experiences. I've been an ESL teacher for 14+ years. I have a background in neuroscience and psychology. I also have a degree in English Literature. For the past 8 years, I've focused on developing "brain-friendly" instruction methodologies and approaches to provide meaningful language learning experiences. Most recently, I've developed courses tailored to business professionals who wish to develop their business communication skills. My lessons are oral communication/conversation-focused. I make sure to listen to you carefully, and through casual conversation, I've extracted interesting and dynamic grammar and vocabulary lessons. If you are in need of a more structured lesson, I make sure to help you set achievable goals, and we come up with a plan together, whether that be structure and grammar-focused lessons or through tailored communication skills that fit your needs and environment.
