Tom

In English to express myself better: Tom is a fantastic teacher. He pays close attention. I never get the feeling that he is thinking about other things. He's very calm and encouraging of my efforts to express complicated thoughts. He comes up with a variety of questions and subjects to challenge my understanding and my ability to put together sentences. He's is always on time. When I get tired of talking, he makes me feel free to ask grammar questions or even questions about his own experience. This is always a good opportunity to improve my listening comprehension.

Tom is always a pleasure to talk to! My German has improved greatly thanks to his help, and with his patience and suggestions, I have grown the confidence needed to speak German. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Tom is the best language teacher I've had on Italki and I'm going to keep learning from him until I speak German fluently

This is a wonderful way to speak a new language. Tom is patient while I look for the right words, the way he explains and puts the words to use is so helpful. Even after two classes I already feel more confident with German.

Tom is a great teacher! He's passionate about his students, proactively engages in conversation, and provides excellent materials and homework.

Very happy to learn german with Tom!!!!
