HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thomas for anyone who wants to practice oral English on italki! I have had 5 conversations with him and I really think that he is one of the best teachers I have ever met. He always pays attention to your speaking and corrects your pronunciation, grammar and expressions. BTW, you also don't need to worry about embarrassment because he always has prepared today's topic and encourages you to practice more!

Thomas is an excellent teacher who truly cares about his students. He is always attentive during lessons, carefully noting any mistakes you make and addressing them afterward in a constructive way, which makes you remember new words even after the class. He’s encouraging and makes you feel comfortable; can easily engage in any conversation and is always prepared with additional materials. He is also very responsive and has consistently helped me with any extra questions, not only about the English language but also about Irish culture. His dedication and approachable manner make every class enjoyable and productive. I highly recommend Thomas as a teacher!
