Experienced Native English Teacher | Friendly, Engaging Lessons Hello! My name is Tom, and I’m an American English teacher with approximately five years of combined in-person and online teaching experience, primarily in Thailand. I help intermediate English learners speak more naturally, build their vocabulary, and feel more confident communicating in English. **My background:** * Bachelor of Science in Psychology * TESOL certification * Experience teaching in universities, language institutes, government organizations, and through private tutoring * Experience teaching both children and adults **What I can help you with:** * Conversational English and fluency * Pronunciation and natural-sounding English * Expanding your vocabulary * Building confidence when speaking * Developing practical, real-world communication skills I particularly enjoy working with intermediate learners who want to move beyond simply knowing English and become more comfortable actually using it. My background in psychology has also taught me that every learner is different, so I tailor my lessons to your needs, interests, and goals. My lessons are practical, relaxed, and supportive, with plenty of opportunities for you to speak. I’m always happy to use your interests as a starting point for conversation and to make lessons relevant to your everyday life. Outside of teaching, I enjoy music, cinema, yoga, and, like many people, trying to keep my Wordle streak alive! I look forward to helping you reach your English goals.

5 Years of Teaching Excellence: Linguist Committed to Helping Students Achieve Their Goals As a teacher, I'm excited to share my knowledge with students. I have a deep passion for studying and teaching languages, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to turn this passion into a career. Not only do I love the process of learning and sharing languages, but I also believe that it has the power to open doors to new cultures, perspectives, and understanding. When you study a language, you're not just learning a set of rules and vocabulary - you're gaining a window into the thoughts, customs, and ways of life of the people who speak it. This is what I find so fascinating about languages, and it's what drives me to continue exploring and sharing them with others.

💡 To touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning English is no different. ❤ Welcome to my 1500-character teacher introduction space on italki! What follows is a little bit about me... I was born in Hong Kong to a British father, a Fijian mother, and, having spent large swathes of my life in parts of the globe as far-flung as the Middle East and South America, could be considered myself a mongrel child of the world! I have been teaching adults and children English as a Second Language (ESL), English Language, and English Literature since 2005. I had worked in-person at schools over the course of 15 years until 2020 when I started teaching English online, and have been a teacher on the italki since 2021. In terms of my teaching style, I like to build a close and comfortable rapport with my students, whilst respecting the personal boundaries that any successful relationship must enjoy. I love to dive deep on themes, topics, and the quintessential questions of life and meaning in all its forms. Learning English shouldn't simply be about language mechanics, it's a learning journey that should be an enriching educational experience. I endeavour to offer integral English lessons that address individual needs from the bottom-up, filling in any knowledge gaps along the way. I strive to inject you with confidence, positive energy, & eternal optimism. I hope to exchange wisdom, and make you feel more alive when we finish class than you did when we started. Questions? DM me! Otherwise, go ahead and book a trial lesson and we'll go from there! 🌠

Certified CELTA teacher Language is a social activity. As such, it is important that you have the means to interact with other human beings using in this case the English language. Therefore, I want students to practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Furthermore, I want students to practice informal and colloquial English so as to better comprehend and communicate with native English speakers. I also believe that active participation is a fundamental part of language learning. Therefore, my goal is for students to speak as much as possible during lessons. I will not judge you but I will help you to improve your English language skills through repetition and your active participation.
