About Me

Hi everyone! I’m Tim, a native English speaker with a clear, neutral accent—perfect for mastering natural pronunciation. Originally from Canada and now based in Berlin, I blend five years of teaching experience with a professional background in music production and sound engineering. My training in classical guitar and sound recording gives me a keen ear for rhythm and clarity, which I use to help students refine their English speaking skills. Fluent in French and German (and dabbling in Spanish), I deeply understand the challenges of language learning. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced learner, I love adapting lessons to your goals while keeping them engaging and meaningful.Me as a Teacher
I've had the pleasure of teaching children and adults from A1 to C2 using adaptive methods that respect the needs of each individual. While I believe that learning grammar and vocabulary are extremely important aspects of language learning, I like to have meaningful discussions with students, using this context as a vehicle to deliver new language skills. My background in music has helped me to develop skills as an expert in English pronunciation, coaching students on how to develop a clear, neutral English accent. It is worth noting that my skills in English writing and editing are quite advanced thanks my thirteen years of scholastic and professional experience. My lessons & teaching style
I focus on speaking, using a variety of topics, ranging from day to day activities to broader subjects. For this reason, I find conversation provides a relaxed context for understanding each student’s ability with the aim of designing a plan to challenge each student to improve their pronunciation, style, grammar and vocabulary. I write notes while students speak. This helps when suggesting alternative language and for later review.
Young learners: I try to understand what inspires each student and then use this as a way to connect with them while delivering new language skills.
In my writing class, I will respect your writing style while enhancing it’s language and organization.My teaching material
