•  TEXT & TALK: Intermediate English with a PROFESSIONAL TEACHER

About Me

Hi! My name’s Christopher Nutter.

I was born and grew up in Beaconsfield, England. I studied at Bristol University and, having completed a short TEFL course, came to Germany to teach English at the Berlitz School in Essen.

After 2 years I decided (a) that I would like to stay in Germany and (b) that I would become a self-employed free-lance teacher.

Over the years I’ve taught businessmen and women, travellers, housewives, teenagers and pensioners, both in groups and individually.

Some years ago I was asked to set up English classes in a local primary school – perhaps the greatest challenge of my life! I quickly learnt that young children don’t want to LEARN English, they want to DO English! (A bit like most adults, really!)

Three years ago I started learning nursery rhymes again, when I was invited to teach English to a group of 4 year olds!

About two years ago I was asked to give online lessons: The next challenge! Here, I quickly discovered that teaching online could be as much fun as teaching in a classroom.

FUN is important: If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, whether it’s teaching or learning, you won’t get very far!

When I’m not teaching, I’m travelling far and wide, going to the theatre or cinema, eating out with friends, reading all sorts, sometimes doing nothing!
