Certificate in TESOL - Trinity College London - 2006I completed the Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (Trinity College London), at a college in Coventry. It taught me the skills and knowledge to take my first teaching job. I gained teaching experience with real learners, language awareness including grammar and phonology, and much knowledge of teaching techniques to help teaching English to different levels. I also had experience being taught an unknown language (Japanese) to help me understand how it feels. Coventry,

Занятия с Томом приподымают, вдохновляют, раскрепощают. Дают чувство уверенности и желание двигаться вперед. Мой сын просто светится после урока, а его произношение и знания даже сравнивать с обычной школьной программой нельзя. Это намного больше, потому что он почувствовал себя свободным в английском языке. Я сама до сорока лет стеснялась произносить вслух знакомые английские слова из-за страха ошибки и плохого произношения. Как собака, все понимаю, а сказать не могу. Том за два урока сумел поменять мое отношение к речи, расслабил и создал такую атмосферу, что я неожиданно стала говорить на занятиях больше него и часто перебиваю и не могу остановиться 😁 Это очень ценный преподаватель, которого я даже боюсь рекомендовать - а то вдруг у него не хватит времени на нашу семью ☺️

My daughter just loves learning English with Tom. After each lesson she looks happy and motivated.
Her level of the language has significantly improved. And it’s not only speaking skills, her grammar has also taken a step forward, though grammar could be tricky at such a young age.
Thank you, Tom!
