TEFL-Certified Teacher with 8+ Years Experience and Bachelor

Hello, my name is Tom. I’m a TEFL-certified English teacher with a degree from the University of Manchester and over 8 years of experience teaching English both online and in person. I grew up between British and American cultures, which gave me an early appreciation for language, communication, and the subtle differences in how English is used. Because of this, I am comfortable teaching both British and American vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions. My academic background includes a degree from the University of Manchester and professional TEFL certification, where I trained in teaching methodology, lesson planning, classroom management, and adapting lessons for different levels. Over the past eight years, I have taught students of many ages and nationalities, including children, teenagers, and adults. My experience includes classroom teaching, one-to-one lessons, and online teaching. I have supported beginners, intermediate learners building fluency, and advanced students preparing for exams or improving their English for work. My teaching approach focuses on building confidence through practical communication. Lessons combine conversation practice with grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing, and are adapted to each student’s goals and level. I have also lived and travelled in different countries, which helps me understand the challenges of learning a new language. I speak German and Spanish, which can support students from those backgrounds. Students often describe my teaching style as calm, patient, and supportive. I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and improving steadily. Whether you are learning English for work, study, travel, or personal interest, I will help you build confidence and make clear progress.
