Bio
Henrik Buus Larsen
Andrew Muir has been my English teacher since I moved to London to work for Mundipharma International 2 years ago. My needs are primarily business English, but I also much enjoy understanding the nuances of the words as well as their historical and cultural origin. In preparation for my lessons Andy does not stop searching for exercises, texts, movie clips and so on to tailor the teaching to my specific needs and level. The atmosphere during the lessons is always very pleasant with time for a good laugh built in. In addition to learning the English language it has helped me tremendously manoeuvring in an English business environment that we have gone through important unwritten rules of British politeness and good behaviour. I did not realise that small things, like how to ask a colleague to do something politely, could be so different from way we do it in my country (Denmark). Finally I would like to mention, that Andy is always very flexible when I need important mails or documents proof-read. With these words I would like to give Andy my warmest recommendation both as a person and as a teacher.
