About Me
italki teacher since Aug 10, 2016Me as a Teacher
我不教孩子 I'm patient and cheerful. I've taught students from all around the world. And helped many of them to pass key exams like IELTS or the Cambridge exams. In my conversation lessons, I give advice on word choice, sentence structure, pronunciation and grammar - so that students learn how to talk about the things that they want or need to talk about in English. I can also help you with tests like IELTS, FCE, CAE or CPE, with job interviews and with business English and written English. Please note: I don't currently have the time necessary (or the materials) to prepare lessons for young children, so please don't book sessions for young children. My lessons & teaching style
I am patient and I will support you. But I will also challenge you in lesssons. I don't give lectures or simply correct you myself. Instead, I prefer to point out mistakes and help you to correct at least some of your own mistakes. That's because you will learn better this way.
The following lessons are available:
1) Help with tests like IELTS, B2 CAMBRIDGE FIRST, C1 CAMBRIDGE ADVANCED AND C2 CAMBRIDGE PROFICIENCY.
2) Business English: Practice job interviews and presentations and role-play meetings.
3) Vocabulary building lessons – learn key phrasal verbs and idioms to take your English to the next level (B2 to C1 or C1 to C2)
4) Conversation practice

Andrew has helped me to prepare for my IELTS exam with the speaking and writing parts. He pinpointed my mistakes and provided me with clear and complete explanations. After each class, I felt that I had learned something. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to prepare for IELTS or simply to improve their English.
