Andy

Hello, my name is Andy, and I am originally from a place called Essex just north of London, England. I left England in 1983 to travel and see the world and eventually started teaching English as a profession in 1994 while in Germany. I ran an ESL school in Dusseldorf and later moved to Japan where my wife is from. Over the last 23 years, I have run two English Schools and taught extensively in Japanese Elementary and Junior High Schools. With my wife, I began doing translation and proofreading/editing work in 2000. We have worked for several clients for many years since then and have translated a broad range of subject matter from tourist brochures to medical papers. We regularly translate the Japanese weekly maritime and shipping news. I also have 30 years of experience and training in public speaking. We are now living on the Spanish island of Tenerife where we are mainly working as translators, but I have recently started teaching again online. Hoping to hear from you soon.
