My passion, and what I do best, is intensive tutoring for intermediate level (or above) students who already have a decent grasp of the language but want to improve in some way. What I do most is pronunciation and phrasal correction, accent reduction, and introduction to new vocabulary.
One of my only requirements is that you are *self-motivated* to speak/converse. I am not going to endlessly supply topics to discuss. Think of it this way: when you meet up with your friends, do you make them give you topics to discuss? No, of course you don't. You just start talking.
A bit about me: I'm a happy, fun-loving guy from sunny San Diego, California in the US. In 2014, I gave up the "normal" life and sold everything to travel and spent the following 5 years backpacking around the world before deciding to live in Poland and then Romania for an addition 5 years or so. After so many years of being abroad, I finally decided to make back home to the US in December of 2023 to be closer to family and I now live in upstate New York.
Unlike some tutors, I won't promise to have you speaking fluently in "no time". The truth is that no matter what your current level is, it's going to take both of us putting in time and energy to see significant change.
What I will promise, however, is to provide an informative, friendly, and even fun learning environment for you to practice speaking, increase your vocabulary, and, over time, improve your confidence and fluency.
During each lesson I will notate words and/or phrases we discuss, then send my notes to you in a neatly formatted PDF so you can get the most out of our lessons.
I look forward to helping you!
Andy

A bit about me: I'm a happy, silly guy from sunny San Diego, California in the US. Several years ago, I gave up the "normal" life and sold everything to travel. Since then I've lived on three continents, learned Spanish, some Polish, and now I'm working on Romanian. So I understand the struggles of learning, and speaking, a foreign language!
Unlike some tutors, I won't promise to have you speaking fluently in "no time". The truth is that no matter what your current level is, it's going to take both of us putting in time and energy to see significant change.

I found Andrew to be very professional and very human. He helped me reviewing my resume and also improving my general English level, providing valuable knowledge both on grammar and pronunciation.
He shared with me resources and his high quality notes to keep track with what I was learning.
