You want English that feels natural, that you reach for without translating in your head first. Whatever you're learning it for, work, travel, an exam coming up, or simply the confidence to speak without freezing, that's the aim.

Hello, I'm Andrew, a native Australian from Sydney, and I bring a bit of that laid-back Aussie ease to my lessons. I spent over a decade in the corporate world before teaching, and I've been teaching here in Poznań since 2019. It's home now, not a stopover, and it's where my half-Polish son, the apple of my eye, was born. And I'm learning Polish myself, so I know first-hand what it's like to reach for a word that's right on the tip of your tongue.

Maybe you understand far more than you can say, and it's hard to break through and actually speak. Maybe your English has gone rusty after years away. Maybe you're already fluent and want the polish that lands in meetings and presentations. Wherever you are, that's exactly what I help with.

The real progress in a language happens between lessons, not just during them. So with me, immersion doesn't stop when the lesson ends, it carries on all week.

In the lesson, you get a native speaker who does more than chat and correct. After years teaching Poles, I know the traps you'll hit before you hit them, I look for the pattern behind the mistakes, explain why they happen, and help you fix them for good, so you leave understanding and get there faster, in fewer sessions. It's the analytical habit from my old career, put to work on your English. And I listen far more than I lecture, drawing you out gently so the lesson follows you, never putting you on the spot.

All of that is why most students say the same thing: I'm easy to talk to. I'm genuinely curious about you, I ask lots of questions, and I like a laugh, so people relax and open up, a couple have even joked I'm part therapist. That's the real secret: the more you enjoy the conversation, the more you speak, and the faster English starts to feel natural.

Between lessons, you get an app I built myself, so the work doesn't evaporate. After each lesson, you get practice made just for you, focused on exactly what you're finding hardest right now. No other tutor offers this.

You've also got personal flashcards that come from our lessons, and you can also add your own, plus ready-made vocabulary lists (business English, phrasal verbs, idioms). Read your own material too, any web page or document, with a built-in dictionary, or run anything through the translator from Polish and keep the words you meet. It all works on your phone, tablet or computer, so English is always within reach.

- One-to-one lessons, online or in person in Poznań

- Business English, everyday conversation, writing, and exam preparation
