Fluent from Day 1 ☘️ | 12,000+ Lessons | Experienced Language Teacher Hi! I’m Andy — a language teacher since 2001 with 12,000+ online lessons, helping beginners become confident speakers. I’m of Irish descent ☘️, and in my family English has always been the language we speak at home, with a strong tradition of storytelling, humor, and great conversation. My lessons are relaxed, patient, and conversation-driven, so you start speaking from Day 1 and build confidence naturally. Learning should feel like chatting with a friend, not memorizing textbooks. Book a trial lesson and let’s start speaking today! (Adults only—fun, relaxed, and focused.) As a teacher, my goal is to help you speak with confidence while making clear progress in a structured and organized way. I believe languages are best learned through real conversation, supported by a clear learning plan. In our first lesson, I evaluate your level and learn about your goals. Then we create a learning path so you always know what you’re learning and which level you’re reaching. Sometimes a quick explanation in a familiar language helps, so I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and German, and I’m currently improving my French. As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges my students face. All levels welcome, especially beginners. *ATTENDANCE POLICY* You may reschedule a class through iTalki with at least 24 hrs in advance, preferably 48hrs so another student can have the chance of requesting a class in that time slot.

After six months of studying with Andy I can see how much my English has improved. The classes are extremely organized, the material used is excellent. Andy manages to teach how to write, to speak and to listen are very well. He is punctual, patient and develops the means so we can understand everything during the lesson. If you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced and want to improve your English, do not hesitate, Andy is the ideal teacher.

As primeiras aulas eu estava bem nervosa, Andy me deixou bem a vontade. É um ótimo professor, estou evoluindo e espero que em breve esteja mais segura. Obrigada Andy!

Fantastic, it's been a few months since starting with Andy. I can now communicate in a good enough level of spanish to be understood (more or less) and watch some videos on YouTube (which would have been incomprehensible at the start of this year) and get the gist of what is being said. Learning a language is a messy process for your brain but it's something that I've been enjoying - especially with Andy as he has an excellent cadence to his lessons, he knows exactly when to stay and chat and when to move the focus back onto class materials. I can whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone (Spanish or English) no matter your level with the language.

Andy is a great teacher. He is very patient and kind. He uses different techniques to facilitate learning and works on all areas of learning Spanish, including pronunciation, listening, reading, and writing. I would recommend him highly. - Anthony

Two days before the lesson, I informed the teacher that I wanted to practice the past tense through natural conversation. Unfortunately, the lesson did not reflect this request. About 20 minutes into the lesson, I asked if we could have a real conversation instead. Instead of having a conversation with me, the teacher sent me a list of questions in the chat and asked me to answer them by myself. Only after I said this felt unnatural did the teacher start asking the questions aloud. Even then, there was almost no follow-up, response, or natural interaction after my answers, making the lesson feel awkward rather than conversational. I also felt uncomfortable when the teacher simply told me that my listening was not good, rather than trying to help me understand in other ways. Overall, I was very disappointed because the lesson did not meet my expectations. It was the first time I had ever wanted a language lesson to end as soon as possible.
