Hello potential students. I am a native English speaker from the southeastern U.S.--Mississippi, to be exact--and I love meeting people from all over the world. One of the greatest benefits of teaching online is getting to learn about so many other cultures. My interests, other than teaching, include literature, film, philosophy, art, travel, and the environment. I lead a quiet life in a rural area, spending a lot of time with my family and dog. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and helping you on your English journey.
Ich als Lehrkraft
You can expect meticulous attention to detail and serious dedication from me as a teacher. We can have casual conversations, which will include a lot of laughter, but I'll always be listening for mistakes. I expect students to be as dedicated as I am because the goal here is to make observable improvements in your ability and proficiency with English. After all, that is why we're doing this, right? You can also expect me to be punctual and prepared. I never miss lessons and I'm quite flexible when it comes to rescheduling, as long as you give me 24-hours notice. I am passionate about English and I hope you will be too.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
First, I should mention that I work with intermediate to advanced students only. My lessons are fun and my teaching style laid back, relaxed. I like to be at ease in my classes so my students can be too. As I mentioned above, laughter plays a big part in my approach to teaching. We can all learn and remember a lot more when we associate something with laughter than with nervousness or anxiety. When studying with me, you will have great conversations, learn and practice grammatical concepts, and improve your reading and pronunciation. This latter activity is especially fun, because we will read new things together and, thus, learn new things together.
Today we analyzed a poem, and I can say that Andrew is a superb teacher. That was my first time actually reading a poem, and under his assistance and guidance I found reading poetry -- and interpreting it in a purely humanistic way -- is a mind-expanding activity. Thanks!

The conversations with Andrew are really insightful which could be useful for someone who wants to push the boundaries from translating from the native-language into English to actual thinking in English.
