About

Hello, I'm Andrew.

I'm a native English tutor from the UK. I've been teaching since 1995, including 25 years living and working in Hong Kong.

My story

Before becoming a full-time tutor, I spent five years at COSCO Shipping and EDIasia, helping colleagues with spoken English, business writing, emails and company brochures. That gave me a real understanding of how English is used in the workplace.

For the next 25 years I worked as a freelance tutor and taught at the Word Power English Learning Centre, where classes were kept small so every student got individual attention and clear correction.

My wife is from Hong Kong, and both our children went through local Hong Kong schools from kindergarten to secondary. They're bilingual in Cantonese and English. Because of this, I know first-hand the homework load, exam pressure and interview culture that students and parents face.

I now live in the UK and teach all my lessons online, to students in Hong Kong and to families who have made a new home in the UK. Lessons are clear, supportive and practical, and parents are always welcome to sit in.
