Hi Andrew, I'm mailing you to say first of all that I've finished the Phrasal Verb course and it was superb! Indeed, the videos explained them well and both the quizzes and printouts gave concrete situations to not only understand them but also use them correctly.

"I just wanted to say what an impressive piece of work this site is - well done!"

"Hello, Andrew, I just stopped by to say you are doing a great job with this website, it will definitely help me and I’m sure it will help others too. Thank you!"

"Thank you! I will keep on recommending this website to those I know who will try to take the CAE exam."

"As a Mexican student who has been learning English since my kindergarten years, I can tell you I've never been more nervous for an English examination than the one I'm about to face. For real, I want Andrew as my English teacher! Mexico loves you!"

Why Phrasal Verbs?

It’s hard to teach phrasal verbs. All the phrasal verb exercises I’ve ever seen are sooooooooo boring that most of the time I just tell my students to do them for homework.

But phrasal verbs are important! Native speakers use them ALL THE TIME and a student who can use a phrasal verb is sure to get a higher grade in the exam than one who can’t.

So I decided to spend a few months of my life making a REALLY good phrasal verbs course. Because if I can’t make phrasal verbs fun, then no-one can.

Why Writing?

It’s hard to teach writing. First of all, in a class of 6 students there might be one who does the writing homework, and it takes too long to study writing in class.

Secondly, improving your writing is slow! In 4 weeks I can really improve your speaking, but in the same time I can only improve your writing a little bit.

But I like a challenge! I decided to make a writing course that was helpful for students whose exam is next week and students who have more time to think about it

Other Courses Are Much More Expensive

My courses are more detailed, more fun, more interactive, and more perfectly tailored for Cambridge exam students than ones that cost three times the price (made by people who don’t care about you).

I want to keep my courses affordable to students all around the world, not just people in rich countries.

When you see how much work I put into these courses you will be amazed. And you will be happy with the lessons. But if you aren’t amazed and you aren’t happy, I will refund you. No problem!
