Hello! My name is Tim, I’m from England, and I’m a professional English teacher. I trained at International House in London where I gained the Cambridge CELTA qualification, and I’ve worked with students of all levels and of many different nationalities. I’m also a Spanish student (B2-C1 level) so I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language!
I use the ‘communicative approach’ to English teaching, which means that you will have lots of opportunities to practise your speaking skills in a relaxed environment and receive helpful feedback. During a lesson, you have many options; for example, you can follow a structured course (like in a language school), you can develop your speaking skills by having conversation classes (if your level is B1+) or I can help you to prepare for an exam such as IELTS. Depending on your goals, I will adapt to you because you are always the protagonist! What’s more, I know how important it is to learn grammar and vocabulary that you can use in the real world, and I also enjoy helping students to improve their pronunciation by exploring how the different sounds in English are produced. I use a variety of interesting materials (such as articles, audios, modern textbooks, and videos) and we can talk about any topic that is of interest to you.
If you want to book a trial lesson, we can start by getting to know each other, I can assess your current level, and then we can create a plan to ensure that you achieve your learning goals. I hope to meet you very soon!

This is my third class with Tim and as an advanced English learner I didn't know exactly what to expect, exercises, conversations, etc. The same as always but what can I say, I enjoy every minute of it. We have conversations and he points out my mistakes and offers me alternatives, he teaches me how to improve my grammar and the exercises are really useful and not boring at all.I'm very happy an highly recommend his English lessons.

Tim prepared an excellent lesson based on my very specific requirements. He had more options ready and made the lesson flow very naturally. I really appreciate the follow up with extra materials he sent by email. He is a very knowledgeable and open-minded tutor.
