I had to demonstrate everything I had learnt in the course in a final assessment where I had to make and design interactive exam preparation lesson plans which were graded by an external examiner.

Exceptional teacher, quite possibly the best I’ve ever had!
Thomas is remarkably adaptable and endlessly creative, always finding engaging and original topics perfectly tailored to my interests and personal learning goals.
He is curious, patient, deeply knowledgeable, and fully attentive throughout each lesson, offering insightful suggestions and recommendations that help me to progress in an elegant and truly constructive way.
His genuine dedication, combined with his positive and enjoyable attitude, makes all the difference in helping me to achieve my objectives during this period.
Thank you so much, Thomas! Go raibh maith agat!

Thomas is an excellent teacher who truly cares about his students. He is always attentive during lessons, carefully noting any mistakes you make and addressing them afterward in a constructive way, which makes you remember new words even after the class. He’s encouraging and makes you feel comfortable; can easily engage in any conversation and is always prepared with additional materials. He is also very responsive and has consistently helped me with any extra questions, not only about the English language but also about Irish culture. His dedication and approachable manner make every class enjoyable and productive. I highly recommend Thomas as a teacher!

Fantastic lesson, as always. I feel like my English has improved a lot in a short time.
The corrections and explanations are especially helpful, so I know what to pay attention to and don't have to buy a whole grammar book to improve my English.
Tom is a fantastic teacher, helping me bridge the gap between B2 and C1 levels, without ever getting bored of learning.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thomas for anyone who wants to practice oral English on italki! I have had 5 conversations with him and I really think that he is one of the best teachers I have ever met. He always pays attention to your speaking and corrects your pronunciation, grammar and expressions. BTW, you also don't need to worry about embarrassment because he always has prepared today's topic and encourages you to practice more!
