Me as a Teacher
I have always been in the people business. I worked in a supermarket. I have been a Hotel Manager. I once owned a Taxi Business, which was a great experience!
I studied to be an Online Teacher and for the last few years, this is my job which I enjoy very much.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach English and grammar through conversation. I have an easy going and relaxed way of teaching and I really enjoy talking to people and making conversation.
I use a green screen and presentation slides or video clips to assist me with teaching. I try to make my teaching interactive and fun.
I use Google Meet / Skype / ZOOM PRO and Italki Classroom . . . But I prefer ZOOM, if possible. If you cannot find your preferred communication tool when booking then send me a message

Thank you so much, Teacher Andy! He has been instrumental in teaching me how to use idioms effectively in sentences. Throughout the course, he introduced a wide range of captivating topics that allowed me to naturally immerse myself in an English-speaking environment, leading to a gradual shift towards thinking in English. Additionally, he generously shared numerous valuable study tips that not only bolstered my confidence but also enhanced my learning experience.
