I'm an Aussie who loves to teach and learn languages.
My hobby is learning languages, I speak Spanish to high level, with a little bit of Italian, Swedish, and Mandarin. If you're looking for a teacher that is relaxed, patient, and professional, I'm your teacher. I even have my own YouTube channel where I teach English using my Spanish. I love languages
I will not only help you learn English, but also help you learn how to learn languages in general.

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I'm relaxed and patient with my students. As a student of other languages I know the difficulty of learning new languages, I have been in your shoes!
I create lessons that are fun and interactive so that you want to keep learning. My lessons will not bore you.
My lessons & teaching style
I follow the famous linguist Steven Krashen, when it comes to language learning. My style is based on a lot of input so that you will develop an innate understanding of the language, so you can feel the language rather than think about it.
For example, your homework may be to watch Shrek in English and then we will discuss the movie in our lessons, focusing on vocabulary or grammar used within the movie.

Had my first pronunciation class with Tom, and it was an absolute blast! His class is so much fun and enjoyable. I was amazed by how we can shape our lips, tongue, and jaw to produce different sounds in English. It's intriguing because I've always observed the "mouth shapes" of native speakers, but this lesson showed me how I can actually mimic those sounds and produce them myself. It's so interesting! I'm going to keep taking this pronunciation course with Tom. His approach to studying languages is truly inspiring.

I just completed a lesson on australian music!Learned lots about the australian classics, watched video clips and we worked with the lyrics of 3 songs. He structures the lessons very well and has a great management of the time, so we had time to talk about a film I watched last week and the characters on it- learning new words and ways to describe things. As I would say in spanish - esta clase no tiene desperdicio!=) Thanks again!

Thomas is a great teacher and he is really into languages and enjoys teaching them to others. He also has energy to support a student, give them a lot of feedback and opportunities to hone their English skills.
