My name is Kosta and I have been looking for an opportunity to have English diction lessons on one to one basis with an experienced teacher. I wanted to reduce my accent, since English is not my native language. I was lucky to find Andy. He told me that I can achieve this goal and he offered to help me.
I must tell you this was a new experience for me. Andy offered a free evaluation and understood immediately what my strong points and my weak points are. Later, during our one to one lessons, I realised that he is like a doctor, knowing which area must be addressed and what is the ideal prescription for my healing process.
For our lessons we used Zoom. Also, Andy used very effective Power Point presentations and extra materials in video and audio format. Those were easy to work with and very helpful for my needs.
Andy was generous. Now and then he would give me extra time to make our sessions easier to chew for me. On some occasions, he gave me a few free lessons, and then I realised how truly priceless his teachings are.
He sent me every time our recorded lessons, which I watched at my convenience for self-evaluation.
I was impressed by his background and experience. For those of you who want to know more about Andy’s teaching, please check his website and relevant links on the internet.
Call him and enjoy the journey. Mine is great!
