InterestsReadingHistoryReizen
I'm from Rainy England! I have a degree in Sociology from the University of Kent and a TEFL certificate. What I love most is learning new things. I read a lot, especially about history, philosophy, politics, culture and religion, but I enjoy talking about many other topics. I have travelled to many different countries and have lived in two foreign countries, China and Romania. I'm also a language learner, focusing mainly on Spanish and Romanian. I play the guitar and write my own songs. I love to walk in wide open spaces with beautiful views. I live near the sea so I often walk to the coast to stare at the sea and daydream! I enjoy meeting and talking to new people.
Ik als leerkracht
I'm a very experienced teacher, and have taught people from many different nationalities, of various age groups and levels of ability, and in both classes and one-on-one. I can talk about pretty much anything! I have taught a Russian opera singer, a Swedish horse trainer, a Spanish professional poker player, an Italian wine expert, a Korean oil executive, several NATO employees, and many many computer programmers!
I care a lot about all my students and do my best to help them progress with their English.
(Note: I currently only teach students who are over 16 years old)
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I will correct ALL of your mistakes and give quick and simple explanations when necessary. My lessons always have a specific focus, but they will feel like a relaxed conversation. I always try to suggest new and more native ways to express things. My test and interview preparation lessons are more structured. I have a great deal of experience teaching IELTS preparation. I adapt my approach to the ability level and personality of the student.

Tom is an excellent teacher who knows how to listen and guide students. He perfectly explains the new material, supporting it with real-life examples. During the first trial lesson I managed to outline an action plan of studying and methods for its implementation, learned some grammar rules and worked on my pronunciation. The lesson left only positive impressions. I'll definitely continue studying with Tom.

I took Tom’s lesson first time in four years ! Previously he helped me cabin crew interview in English.
In this time he helped me final interview of internal mobility. His interview lesson is the best. He gave me always helpful tips and correct my mistakes. Thank you Tom !!!!
