About Me
italki teacher since Jun 3, 2021Interest topicBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV SeriesHistoryFoodMusic
My name is Fred Kuhr 🏳️🌈, and I'm a dual U.S./Canada citizen 🇨🇦🇺🇸originally from New York City 🌉, now living in Toronto. Having lived in Montreal and travelled throughout Quebec, I speak some French as well as my native English. I'm a former high school English teacher, both in the U.S. and Canada, as well as an award-winning actor, writer and filmmaker. My interests include current events, pop culture, movies, music and physical fitness. In fact, I'm a certified personal trainer and have been working in the fitness industry for over 10 years.Me as a Teacher
As a former high school English teacher, I know that you have to meet students where they are and use materials that interest them in order to reach them. I also know that different students learn differently; that is, some respond better to listening while others are better with seeing information. So I like to tailor lessons to individual students depending on what methods will work best and keep students motivated.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is upbeat and energetic, injected with humor. I know that if I'm bored, the student will be too. So I can't be boring. Language learning should be fun anyway, since learning a language also unlocks a new culture. I like to use materials that are already out there in the culture - whether that's children's books, magazines, newspapers, movies or music - to showcase culture along with language. And as a dual U.S./Canadian citizen, I understand the cultures of both countries.My teaching material

I can't believe I've already completed another package of 20 classes with Fred. Learning English is a long journey for me, and I'm glad I've been doing it with Fred.
