Hello World:), I've been learning with Tim since the end of April (we've had over 20 lessons so far). At the first trial lesson, Tim really listened to me and showed me his teaching tools, and then offered me a course in basic business English. It was a hit with me. I don't waste a minute in Tim's lessons. Everything is tailored to my needs, I get individually prepared homework and very quick feedback. I know I can ask anything and get help. Tim is punctual and professional without being boring. I can in good conscience recommend his lessons and Tim as a teacher.

I highly recommend Timothy as a teacher. Through his lessons, I not only improved my English proficiency but also gained a deeper understanding of the language's structure. Timothy explains grammar patiently and thoroughly. Also he has a deep knowledge of the origins of words and idiomatic expressions. He has excellent pronunciation and diction. Lessons with him provide a great opportunity to master British English speech and pronunciation.

Tim is the best teacher from all that I have had before. He is patient, very friendly and helpful. It’s always interesting at his lessons, he is professional and polite. Absolutely satisfied with his way of teaching. I was happy to find such a perfect teacher.
I see a big progress in my vocabulary and in my speaking skills for the short time.
