English voice.
A native every week, an app for the days between.The next best thing to living abroad.
Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm from Sydney, and I bring a bit of Australian ease to my lessons. Before I started teaching I spent over a decade in corporate roles, and I've taught English since 2019.
Speaking stops being stressful.
Maybe you want to bring your English back after a long break, or maybe you already speak well and want to get from 'I get by' to genuinely fluent. Either way the goal is the same: building English you can actually use, and the confidence to reach for it when it counts. In a meeting, in an interview, or just when you want to talk freely.
Plenty of my students arrive understanding far more than they can say. They know the words, but the moment it's their turn to speak, they freeze, certain it'll come out wrong. If that's you, you're in exactly the right place - a big part of my job is getting you through that stage. I learn as much from you as you do from me - every student's work and world is new to me, and getting to know them is the part I enjoy most.
Poznań is home now, not a stopover. I spent over a decade in corporate roles - Product Manager at Citi, Business Analyst on global system rollouts, and client-facing roles across telco, media, and tech. The English I teach isn't classroom theory - it's the English I used in meetings, in negotiations, and across markets.
Every student also gets access to my web app - personal flashcards, reading practice, and lesson supplements that continue the work between sessions.
Current students include a regional Marshal and the CEO of an internet company.
Sharpen your English, however you use it.

Vocabulary & Range
Find the right word, not just a word - and make it stick.
You don't need more English. You need somewhere to use it.
Across Europe three quarters of working-age adults know a foreign language, and barely a quarter feel they're any good at it. That gap is the whole story. Years of grammar, gap-fills and tests, and then the moment it matters, the words won't come.
And yes, it's nerves. Every student who has sat down with me has said so. But nerves aren't a character flaw you have to get over, and the research bears this out: the more anxious you are about how you sound, the less you speak, and the less you speak the worse it gets. That isn't a fault in you. It's what happens when nobody ever gave you anywhere to practise.
Most of what you get wrong, nobody can correct at the time. Stop you every time and the conversation dies, and you can't watch your own grammar while thinking of what to say next. So most of your fixable English goes past unaddressed. That's how speaking works.
So I built a system for the part a lesson structurally can't do. The words you reach for go into your flashcards, each one carrying the Polish, an example, and a breakdown of how it's actually said. Then the AI goes through every sentence you spoke in the hour and pulls out the moments you could have said better: your words, the cleaner version, why it's better, and the audio. The ones that keep happening get grouped into your patterns. Then exercises built from your own errors, marked Clean, Almost, or Not yet.
Not a topic I picked. Not textbook sentences. Yours. I catch a great deal while we talk; this catches what nobody could catch in real time.
Then through the week you work through them on your own, with nobody listening. Say it out loud, get it wrong, say it again. By the next lesson you've used the words before you needed them, so they're there when you reach.
The lesson itself stays in English, which is the whole point of learning with a native. But when you get stuck, the app has the Polish: every card carries the translation, and you can type any Polish word or sentence in and get the English back. A lower level isn't a reason to avoid a native speaker. You get the immersion, and the Polish is there when you need it.
How much you do between lessons is yours to decide. An hour a week is where you learn it. The other six days are where it becomes yours.
Every lesson comes with an app that carries on.
Free with every lesson, and it works on any device. The app carries the work on between our sessions - your vocabulary, your reading, and your corrections, all in one place. And it keeps growing.
Personal flashcards
Vocabulary from your lessons and your own finds, saved and ready to review, with audio.
Ready-made word lists
Curated decks for business English, phrasal verbs, idioms, and academic vocabulary.
Reading practice
Read articles, your own PDFs, Word docs, or images, or any web page - and look up any word to translate, hear, and save it.
Lesson supplements
After each lesson, your own mistakes become corrections and guided practice.
Built-in translator
Type anything in Polish, get a clean English version, and tap a word to keep it.
Progress you can see
A gentle streak and a clear view of what you've practised - no pressure, just momentum.
More than an hour a week.
A lesson here isn't an hour of talk and then silence until next week. It's a native speaker every week, an app that keeps you in English between lessons, and every correction turned into practice you can actually use.
The base rate is 200 PLN per 60-minute weekday lesson, individual. Evenings and weekends carry a surcharge, and groups of two each pay 60%. Use the calculator for your exact figure.
Results you'll feel from the first lesson.
- 01Native Australian speaker, 7+ years teaching Poles - so I know the mistakes Polish speakers make before you make them.
- 02I find the pattern behind your mistakes and fix the cause, not the symptom - so you improve faster, in fewer lessons.
- 03Over a decade of corporate background - finance, telco, media, tech.
- 04No two students get the same lesson plan - or the same homework.
- 05A clear Australian accent - international, easy on the ear, no regional slang.
- 06I draw you out gently, so you surprise yourself with how much you can say.
Answers to what people ask me.
My English isn't strong. Won't a native speaker be too much?
It is the most common worry I hear, and it is the wrong way round. You don't need good English to start with me, you need some English to build on, and the lesson is where it gets used. When you get stuck, the app has the Polish: every flashcard carries the translation, and you can type Polish straight in and get the English back. So you get a full hour of real English without ever being stranded in it.
How does the free call work?
A 30-minute intro call at no cost - we discuss your goals, you get a feel for my approach, and you decide if it's a fit. No obligation. Want to try a full lesson first? A 60-minute trial lesson is 100 PLN, half the regular rate.

How much work is there between lessons?
That's up to you, and more is genuinely better. After each lesson your own mistakes come back as corrections and practice, so there's always something specific waiting rather than generic homework. What matters most is regularity: students who do something on the days between move noticeably faster than students who only turn up on the day.
