About Me

Hi! I'm Tom, a Welshman, and a world traveller of over 30 countries. I started teaching in 2013 in Mexico, while I've also lived in Australia, Spain and Hungary.

[Not suitable for children under 18, or for complete beginners.] My classes focus on improving your speaking skills. Through videos and articles, you will practice having conversations about a wide range of topics, including; travel, personal challenges, activism, food, sport, politics, music, technology, and much more. I use the website TED Talks to discuss fun, interesting and thought-provoking subjects. In my lessons you will:

- Become a more confident English speaker
- Expand your vocabulary
- Improve your grammar and pronunciation
- Correct common mistakes made in your speaking
- Practice giving your opinions and expressing yourself
- Enhance your reading and listening skills
- And ultimately be able to talk to native speakers more easily!

Come and take a trial lesson with me to see if the classes are for you :)

My trial lessons

We will have a nice simple conversation in the trial, talk about some different topics, and get to know each other. I'll be correcting your grammar and pronunciation as we go along and writing notes in the chat box. In this way, I will be able to understand your level and your language needs, while I'll also explain my classes in more detail at the end of the trial :)

After trying a few other teachers, Tom is the one who fulfills my goals. Not only he sends you interesting materials before the class but also prepares himself properly, listens carefully and gives feedback afterwards. Thank you Tom!

Tom is very good at finding material of high quality and choosing interesting topics. Each lesson with him has its own subject and we discuss every detail at a considerably intellectual level. He then sends a report including my mistakes or the words/phrases of which I have to improve my pronunciation. So it is actually a tool to correct me or recall what we have discussed during the class. I am very satisfied with his lesson structure and recommend him to everyone who wants to improve his conversational skills, vocabulary and pronunciation.
