My first lesson was fantastic! Tom is incredibly patient, well-prepared, and easy to talk to. I've had many classes before, but this one stood out for being both personalized and efficient. I highly recommend his lessons!

Tom is an excellent and positive teacher!
It's easy to talk to him about any topics. The lessons always have a plan, with new words for each new topic, which is very convenient. I also like that Tom writes pronunciation mistakes and we can discuss them. This way, I can make good progress :)
