About Me
italki teacher since Sep 14, 2021InterestsHistoryBusiness & FinanceTravel
I'm an American, a native English speaker, and have spent almost all of my life in the United States. I live in Texas right now and travel frequently. I work as a writer and professional English tutor.
I've learned three foreign languages as an adult over the past 13 years: Spanish, French, and German. I speak Spanish around the C1 level and both French and German around the B2 level.
If you want to learn English on your own (or you want to augment what you're learning in a formal English class), I can help you design a system to do so since I have a lot of experience learning foreign languages outside of a formal, classroom setting, having done it with 3 different languages now.Me as a Teacher
I have a TEFL certificate from The TEFL Academy (Ofcom-certified in the U.K.) that I'm happy to provide on request. I currently offer 3 basic lesson types (please see the "Lessons" section below).
I have a lot of experience learning languages on my own, as I said, so I can certainly give you a advice about how to do that, but I also now have a lot of experience teaching both English and Spanish to other people (adults who are not native English speakers), not only on iTalki but in person while I'm abroad. I spent almost 3 months in Zaragoza, Spain, in 2015, and 8 months in South America (3 months in Colombia and 5 in Chile) in 2018, during which I taught many people English.My lessons & teaching style
All students must be at least 14 years old, please. I have no experience teaching children.
1. When speaking English we should discuss topics that interest you. If it's not interesting, you're not going to want to talk about it. Speaking a foreign language is hard enough, it takes effort, it does not need to be made harder by forcing the student to talk about something that doesn't interest them.
2. I will write down all corrections in a shared Google document. I also make flashcards out of the corrections/suggestions in this document which we will review in the next lesson.
3. I'm happy to discuss current events in the U.S. (and elsewhere), U.S. history and culture, etc.My teaching material

DirectorI started this language education company for the purpose of providing learning materials to students. I've maintained a blog helping people learn Spanish, called Spanish with Andrew (at howlearnspanish.com) since 2010, and I've published a book about my language learning method called The Telenovela Method (you can find it on Amazon). I've also published and sold numerous shorter language education materials (worksheets, videos, etc.).

I have really enjoyed my lesson with Andrew. He's a very responsible, adaptive and creative kind of teacher. All my mistakes were corrected and filed in a dedicated document on Google docs. The conversation itself was really relaxed and casual, just as I wanted. Thank you so much!

It was a trial class and Andrew was very professional. He told me where I should focus to improve my level of English and explain every mistake so I don’t make it again.
