Love every moment with Andy in our lessons. They give me so much joy, life and fun. I always have a smile on my face after a lesson with Andy. Speaking English with Andy is a pure spectacle.

I loved our today's conversation which covered such topics as humour and passive agression, school systems in the UK and in Russia, garbage recycling in Germany and Portugal, and, last but not least, my adventure which involved doing police's job and getting my stolen smartphone back :D
Take care, Andy, and I look forward to seeing you next week :)

I had the pleasure of working with Andy for English tutoring for about 2 year ish, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of outstanding. He has everything one could hope for in a tutor: he is a fantastic interlocutor, engaging, and quite a hard worker.
While I can't speak about other people's experience, but for me, from the very first session, I felt like that he is passionate about teaching and dedicated to helping me improve my English skills. His ability to engage in conversations made every session enjoyable and productive. He not only listened attentively but also managed to provide feedback for each session so I can identify my weaknesses in English and hopefully avoid making mistakes in the future.
Simply put, he is great. Give him a shot.

That was another great class during which we were taking about New Year's traditions, such as setting off fireworks; we also discussed some weird (Russian) pop music celebrities and English proficiency levels in different countries as well as accents of English, especially in Northern Ireland...
Happy New Year, Andy, and I'll see you again soon πβ¨
