More about me
The idea of launching a professional development platform first came in 2012, after working 2 years at Cultura Inglesa in Brazil. I started outlining a comprehensive syllabus for courses, workshops, and lectures and went after the tools I needed to make it a reality. In 2015. Four years later, Education Development Course (EDCrocks) was born. However, in 2023, I've decided to rebrand my business and focus on something people can relate to. That's why I've changed it to André Hedlund - Learning Solutions.
This space serves as a hub to connect with professionals all over the world, to reflect on language, and general education trends, as well as theoretical and practical ideas I have developed for nearly two decades of teaching English, training and mentoring teachers, designing curricula and projects, and speaking and writing for major conferences and other platforms.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending André’s presentations and would thoroughly recommend him as an inspiring and energising speaker. He uses social media very effectively to motivate, encourage and inform other teachers of English. He’s also totally committed to furthering his own knowledge in EFL and to sharing his specialist understanding of the brain and memory in language learning

Marketing Director at Fischer International
André was a speaker at the International Fischer Conference. He is confident, knowledgeable, extremely passionate, and charismatic. He engaged the audience and he proved strong presentation skills but also a friendly and positive attitude. I would always recommend André for his qualities as a presenter, teacher, and teacher-trainer and I’d love to work with him again
Rodrigo Santana
ELT Director
The ELT field pleases us with characters that would be hard to find in other areas. André Hedlund is an example of someone who fits perfectly in this consideration. He combines hard work with creativity and tactfulness, not to mention his excellent presentation skills. As a teacher, as a colleague, as a consultant… unlimited
