    About Andrea D.

    5.0
    (8)
    I am dedicated and student-focused teaching professional whose main aim is to help my students reach their language and professional goals. I have over six years of experience in teaching students from all different cultures and backgrounds while working in five different countries across Europe, Asia and the U.S. This has allowed me to grow into a culturally sensitive person, something that is a vital asset when teaching English to foreign students. My goal is to foster and maintain an open, honest, communicative and supportive environment, in which students feel safe yet uniquely challenged. My lesson plans are custom made to fit the students’ needs. I have a bachelor's degree in Marketing from San Diego State University, a Master's in Political Science from Linköping University and a CELTA certification. I look forward to working together to reach your goals!

    Dear reader, A life without profession and progress is like wasting your time in a bin. My opinion about Andrea Duran is that she was one of the most ambitious, intelligent, active, trustful, humoristic, entertaining and best instructor I would have ever met before (and also after without doubt). I'd really recommend Andrea Duran as a good friend, kind person, optimistic and outstanding listener. Even a psychologist wouldn't come near that level, because she brings everyone together, speaks from her heart, thinks mindfull, emphazises on the good things and tells you the correct (true) words. Thank you Andrea Duran for being so great. Best regards, Sefa
