Hi, I’m Tim—a passionate English teacher from Southeast England with 10+ years of experience helping teens and adults speak and write English confidently. I specialize in Business English, exam prep (IELTS/Cambridge), and fast-track fluency for real-life success.
Having taught in multinational companies and online, I know how to tailor lessons to your goals, whether it’s acing an interview, passing an exam, or chatting naturally. Let’s make learning effective *and* enjoyable!
Lessons should be interesting and relaxed, but I'm serious about reaching your English language goals.
I started my teaching career giving business English lessons in multinational companies in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This included one-to-one classes with company managers as well as group classes for employees.
Over the last several years I have focused on online teaching. My main aim is to get my students speaking and using language as much as possible. Students should finish every class having worked on new vocabulary, useful phrases or important grammatical structures.
⭐ I want you to practice speaking as much as possible, so all classes are student-centred.
⭐ I keep "teaching talking" to a minimum, so that my students have the best opportunity to practice speaking.
⭐I use a variety of materials, including coursebooks, textbooks, videos and audios, personally created pdf's as well as online news, magazines and blog materials.
⭐I provide written feedback at the end of each class with vocabu...My teaching material

Enjoyable lessons. Tim provides a lot of valuable material, and chats with you about serious themes as well (if you want to). Perfect teacher. I recommend him!

Had a great lesson with Tim, and I enjoyed the interaction very much. I was given ample time to articulate my thoughts and he is friendly, supportive and patient. I felt relaxed when chatting with him.

Mi è stata molto utile la correzione dei miei errori, con contestuale trascrizione degli stessi su un documento condiviso, in modo che io possa rileggere tutti i dettagli delle correzioni e arricchire il mio lessico con le nuove espressioni imparate, che magari tenderei a dimenticare se non fossero scritte su un documento che sia sempre a portata di mano.
