Proofreader, Copy Writer, and Translator

My name is Andrew Johnston. I am a former newspaper photojournalist, sports editor, and creative services writer with Fairfax Media. In the most recent period of my professional life, I have been working as an English teacher, an incredible journey which has taken me from Colombia to Italy and finally, to Spain over the past seven years. I am currently specialising in preparing university students for Cambridge Exams, as well as in general English courses. I am also completing a Corporate and Institutional Communications Master´s Degree program at Carlos III University, Madrid. Completion of this Master`s program will complement my Bachelor`s Degree in Sports Media from the University of Canberra (2010) and my Sub-Editing qualification from Charles Sturt University, Bathurst (2013). I am confident that my combined experience as a journalist, editor and sub-editor, as well as my many years working as an ESL teacher, provide me with the perfect background, training and knowledge to help you exceed in your project. On a personal level, I have a long-held interest in language. I am a fluent Spanish speaker, having studied at a C2 level at Spain`s Official Language School (Escuela Oficial de Idiomas) in Madrid. I have spent nearly six years sharpening my Spanish-language skills while living in Spain and Colombia. Thank you for getting to know a bit about me!

This is the second project that I have had Andrew work on. Just as before, the articles were clear and concise, and delivered on time.
