Hi! I’m Andy—a Toronto-born IELTS/TOEFL specialist with 22 years of turning test anxiety into top scores across 3 continents. My 1000+ students didn’t just hit their target bands; they landed scholarships, visas, and jobs at companies like Google and HSBC—all with English skills I helped them master.
What makes me different? I’m not *just* an exam coach. As a 30-year entrepreneur in global marketing, I teach you to *communicate* like a pro—nailing interviews, pitching ideas, and standing out in competitive workplaces. Think of me as your language + career upgrade!
From Shanghai university lecterns to online coaching, I make high-stakes learning feel like a dynamic chat. Ready to outscore youMe as a Teacher
I’m an experienced tutor known for being patient, reliable, and understanding. When you learn with me, it’s like chatting with a friend—you’ll never feel shy or nervous. I focus on creating a positive, supportive environment where I cheer you on every step of the way, helping you stay motivated and confident to reach your goals.
I’ve taught thousands of students online, helping them improve their language skills, and I’d love to help you too. I also spent 11 years living in Shanghai, China (2003–2014), teaching English and Business Studies at Jiao Tong and Tongji Universities.
Sorry I do not teach children under 18 years old. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is kind and patient. We will go through each lesson carefully so you can fully understand the concepts. Afterward, we’ll practice by making sentences and using them in real-life situations.
We’ll focus on the specific English skills you need for daily life, rather than just general lessons. I will motivate and encourage you every step of the way to help you do your best and reach your goals.
DON’T BE SHY—JUST TRY! I’m here to support you and make learning fun and effective.5.0

Andy is kind and patient, but I think he needs a better preparation before the lesson.
During the trial session, he didn't have enough topics ready. There were some silent moments where we had nothing to discuss.
When I asked about his plan to help me improve, he didn't seem to have an idea.
