"Note: I will be away for most of Late July and August. I'll be back in the fall !
Hello everyone! My name is Andre. I’m 32 years old. I was born and raised in New York City.
Currently, I live between the United States and Playa del Carmen, Mexico. 🇺🇸🇲🇽
My hobbies include reading 📚, watching all sorts of movies (old and new)🎞, playing basketball 🏀, exploring nature🌳 🌴, nutrition🍎🍌, and a whole lot more! 🏄
I love to travel and learn about other cultures. Anything you could teach me about your country is more than welcome. In English of course! 😉
I am very motivating, fun, and above all patient.
I want to help the student achieve their goals in an entertaining, interesting and relaxing way.
I believe students also need to challenge themselves. I work with students to find materials that are just above their level. I want to give you confidence to try using more nuanced language and advanced tenses.
I make sure to focus on difficulties that my students are having instead of quickly proceeding onward. I want to make sure a solid foundation is built before rushing ahead.
I love to focus on real spoken English (reductions, idioms, popular slang, etc).

Awesome teacher. I love to take classes with Andre. He’s smart, gentle, he gives me corrections and teach about different meanings of the phrases I bring up to him. He also speaks Spanish and Portuguese. Awesome.

My first class with Andre was just perfect. He creates the perfect environment to learn.
After many classes on Italki, this was my best experience.
We had a relaxed conversation where we focused on my needs, detailed a plan and practiced with some examples.
Andre will definitely be my teacher.
You rock man! You did a great job!

Andre is an excellent teacher, I do think that during this weeks I have learned way more vocabulary, Phrasal verbs and the use of other words than before.
