Do you have a university offer but need to improve your IELTS score? I can help.

My name is Tom; I have been teaching English professionally since 2008, and with over ten years of full-time experience I can help you to improve your grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary in fortable and engaging environment.

I have helped doctors, lawyers, and engineers to achieve the IELTS 7.5 score they needed, and more. In addition to IELTS, I have extensive experience helping students to prepare for the Cambridge exams (FCE/CAE) and TOEIC/TOEFL.

I also provide more general ‘Conversation and Correction’ classes, in which we have a conversation on a variety of topics, followed by detailed correction of grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation issues identified during the class. The notes from these corrections will be provided to you to review after the lesson.

Prices:
£25/hr Conversation and Correction classes
£35/hr IELTS/Cambridge preparation classes
£0 Strategy session - a trial lesson where I can assess what you need to do to improve

If you are not sure whether I am the right teacher for you, remember that the strategy session is free!

Please contact me to ask any questions, to find out about my availability, to book a lesson, or just to ask what I can do for you!
Testimonials:

Norio (Japan): “I enjoy every single his lesson. Example and explanation he gives is always precise and easy to understand. His energy and enthusiasm about is very inspiring. I would mend his lesson to anyone who is serious to improve their English skill.”
Dion (Indonesia): Thomas use a shared document for all class which is very good for students to review their lesson again. What I really thankful from Thomas' style of teaching is that he tends to explain all information at the first. Depends on the student's learning style, it could be very confusing sometimes, but I prefer having a whole image of the things that I am gonna study. It was my first lesson after a trial lesson, but I feel much confident to write, especially regarding the tense. Can't wait to have the next lesson♪

Miki (Japan): Ｗhen I talk with Tom, I can’t afford to zone out! Our conversation tend to fly off at a tangent
So I need to put my brain into full gear to keep our conversation rolling.
I suppose he could create lessons catering to students’ goals, interests, and abilities.
Tom’s broad range of knowledge,quick-wittedness, and passion in teaching make me awe-struck. Although my English studies go pear-shaped these days, he gives me a glimmer of hope. I highly mend Tom as a tutor.
