Andy

Hello, my name is Andy and I’ve been teaching English for 14 years. I started my teaching career in Istanbul in Turkey before moving on to Prague in the Czech Republic, but for the last five years, I’ve been based back in the UK. I have lots of experience teaching General English and Business English as well as FCE and CAE exam classes. These days, I spend most of my time preparing students to take the IELTS exam, and I particularly enjoy helping my students to improve their writing skills in this area.
