About Me

Hi, my name is Andy, and I have been teaching languages since 2001. I have worked in different countries with students from different nationalities, that´s why I love learning languages to be able to help and understand better my students. I have taught students of all ages and levels. I have to confess that I enjoy teaching beginners and see their progress until they are able to communicate in the new language. I also learn languages, so I know that what a language student wants is to be able to speak and understand the new language, that´s why my classes are based on speaking, that means, from the very first class you will be speaking and I will be giving you the instructions in the language you are learning, that´s the best part of the class, and I really enjoy making my best so that you can understand and speak in the new language. I also understand that there are some students that prefer to receive some explanation in their own languages, so that´s why I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, German and I´m doing my best to improve rapidly my French. After French I will keep learning some other languages to be able to help even more students around the world. Besides focusing on speaking I also prefer teaching in an organized way, that means by levels. So during our first class I check your level and I get informed about what you are looking for. And from there we plan what we will learn and how our classes will be organized, so you will always know during the months, in what level you are and if for any reason you have to stop our classes, when you return to study with me or any other teacher you will know exactly where to continue. If you are an intermediate or advanced student we can go on progressing and also improving those small (or big) mistakes that for sure you are trying to get rid off. I am really excited to meet you and help you in a professional way to reach your goal!
