Tim is an amazing teacher who always teaches me something new each class. He has the knack for keeping lessons fresh, interesting and useful. He mixes up the lesson style so I never get bored, and his approach really works. What I love most is how supportive and detail-focused is. He catches every mistake I make and helps me fix them in a way that feels easy and natural-not overwhelming at all. Plus, he's a friendly person who makes learning English so much better. I highly recommend his classes!

I highly recommend Tim to anyone who wants to learn or improve their English. His lessons cover the full range of language skills. Moreover, he takes into account each student’s specific learning goals and helps them achieve them. After every lesson, he provides detailed feedback, which makes it possible to work on gaps in the language.
For me, Tim is a perfect example of a true, well-mannered English gentleman who brings not only clear, authentic English but also a touch of culture. Highly recommended!
