My name is Thomas, and I am from the UK. I grew up in various towns and cities in South East England, and have lived in London for the past ten years. I enjoy reading, cooking new dishes, and playing the guitar; I also enjoy discovering new hobbies (and then abandoning them!).

Ik als leerkracht
I began teaching in 2008, and have spent over a decade teaching full-time. I first taught at Berlitz in Japan for two years, then after returning to the UK I received my CELTA from International House and went on to teach at language schools in London, before becoming an independent teacher in 2019.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons usually begin with informal conversation, during which I take notes to provide feedback.
We then move on to the main task which, depending on the student, could be IELTS speaking practice, discussing the day's front page headlines, or going over and correcting an essay the student has written for homework.
At the end of the class I provide the student with feedback, including corrections of specific mistakes and general advice, and we agree on steps to be taken before the next class.
My lessons are friendly and relaxed, and I always try to put the student at ease.
I have experience in helping students pass many exams, such as IELTS, Cambridge (CAE, FCE), TOEIC, TOEFL, and Eiken.

Thomas is an excellent teacher 💎. Learning with him is fun and informative. He doesn't just teach English, but also shares interesting facts and information. Highly recommend! Oh no, hold up! Don't booking lessons. Because if you do, there'll be less spots left for me! 😁
