"He is a very friendly and professional tutor, I did enjoy his classes and he helped me a lot for improving my English skills. He is open to any kinds of English questions. I believe he would fit for students with wide range of English level. He also gave me tons of tips for settling in UK. I am very happy that I found him for my Tutor!" (Karen - South Korea)

"Craig is a very competent teacher. The lessons are interesting and cover a variety of topics. Craig is a very cheerful and helpful. He is punctual and reliable. In my case, it uses the frogramu off 2 class. I can recommend this teacher with conviction." (Aleksandra - Poland)

"I've studied English with Craig for over months, and I am very happy that I've found a perfect tutor. He's very patient, punctual and fun to talk with. You will not only enjoy time with him, but also improve your English significantly." (Jinhee - South Korea)

"I'm absolutely happy with Craig's lessons! He was teaching me business English. Under Craig's guidance, I've learnt a lot of new vocabulary. I've also discovered a lot of new things about business etiquette of the English speaking countries. Craig uses visual explanations and etymology effectively; these really helped me to memorize difficult verbs and phrases, in particular, phrasal verbs. Also he taught me how to prepare cover letters, CVs, resumes and so on. He is an easy-going person and the lessons were really engaging. I would recommend Craig everyone who wants to improve one's level of business English (or English in general)." (Olga, Russia)

"Craig is a great tutor, he is very polite, punctual and cheerful! Classes pass in a good atmosphere, during the class a student is able to make a free choice, which section of English he or she wants to study (grammar, conversation, idioms etc). I recommend Craig for those who needs a good speaking practice and who wants to expand a grammar knowledge." (Rostislav, Russia)

"Craig is an excellent teacher, very patient. Besides he is very punctual. Our classes are very pleasant, I've bought 20 hours and I intend to get more in the future. He uses a website called off2class which allows him to rank your English level, to assign homework and to have lessons. I really do recommend Craig." (Tiago, Brazil)

"If you need a skillful, knowladgable and patient teacher who is able to inspire and engage the students, Craig is the right choice." (Aaron, Russia)

"Craig is one of the best teachers I have ever had (maybe because he is also a good person)" (Paolo, Italy)

"I took a trial class with Craig, who turned out to be an exceptional teacher! He has a wide variety of topics that he is ready to discuss with you. Before the first class Craig asks you to complete the placement test to evaluate your level. This is extremely rare in tutors - to try to get to know student's level in advance instead of wasting valuable time during the trial class. I find his approach extremely efficient. All in all, Craig wastes no time and is very well prepared for the class. This is the only teacher I know of who is this thoughtful - thumbs up! Craig also is very attentive to the details, he will make sure your grammar is brushed up and your pronunciation is fixed. He uses advanced online platform to make sure your classes are packed with a lot of knowledge, topics and things to do. I highly recommend Craig if you are a mature student and are searching for an English teacher who will also appear to be an interesting interlocutor. The only pitfall in taking classes with Craig (and this is why we mutually decided not to proceed with our classes) is that Craig is more oriented on the adult learners, I am however still in school, so will have to wait for a few years before taking classes with Craig."
