Présentation
As someone who has personally navigated academic challenges, I bring empathy and understanding to my tutoring approach. In my earlier years, I struggled with my studies, often achieving modest grades. However, through hard work and discovering the study methods that worked best for me, I transformed my performance and achieved top marks. This journey has equipped me with the insight to help others overcome their own obstacles.

My Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that every student is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all method to learning. My approach centers on:

Personalized Learning: I begin by identifying your preferred learning style to tailor our sessions effectively.
Conceptual Understanding: We focus on fully grasping each topic before moving forward, ensuring a solid foundation.
Patient Guidance: I simplify complex concepts and move at a pace that suits you, especially with challenging material.
Goal Setting and Achievement: Together, we set achievable goals and work diligently to surpass them, aiming even higher than you might have thought possible.

What to Expect from Our Sessions:

Interactive and Engaging Lessons: I encourage questions and active participation to make learning enjoyable.
Homework and Practice: I assign targeted homework to reinforce concepts without overwhelming you.
Continuous Support: I'm committed to your ongoing progress, providing feedback and adjusting strategies as needed.

Why Choose Me as Your Tutor:

Empathetic Understanding: Having been in your shoes, I relate to the frustrations of not understanding a concept and know how to overcome them.
Adaptive Teaching Methods: I customize my teaching to fit your individual needs, recognizing that each student learns differently.
Passionate and Encouraging: I'm dedicated to helping you reach your fullest potential and instilling confidence in your abilities.
Let's Work Together to Achieve Excellence

If you're seeking a tutor who is committed to your personal growth and academic success, I am here to support you every step of the way. Let's unlock your potential and achieve your goals together.

I offer online or face-to-face English lessons to non-native speakers. I work with the student to identify learning objectives and any areas of weakness and tailor the lesson accordingly. Areas covered during the lesson include, speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar accent reduction.
I currently live in Den Haag, The Netherlands. In addition to private coaching, I also work for an online ESL company delivering English lessons to children across a range of age groups. In addition, I also work as an ESL proofreader and IELTS private tutor here in The Hague. I hold a BA (Hons) degree and have a CELTA qualification. Prior to a career in ESL English teaching, I worked in the UK national press for the Times and Financial Times newspapers. It was there I developed my proofreading and communications skills.
In my spare time, I write articles for magazines and have had feature stories published in The Telegraph magazine, The Daily Mail and a number of health magazines. I have also written two language books. The first, 'I Already Speak Speak French!' is an illustrated book for children that covers the etymology of many English words to their French origin (attached is a sample of it for your interest!). It has been translated for the French market into, 'I Already Speak English!' The second book is called, 'Learn Business English FAST!' which draws on a teaching methodology used for effective, fast learning that I used whilst teaching English for the international company, GoFluent.

💬 A customised English pronunciation training course with a dedicated native-speaking coach will enhance your communication skills, boost your confidence, and ensure you can be easily understood in English conversations, presentations and meetings.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?
🗣️ Pronunciation for Public Speaking and Conversation is a course that identifies and resolves the issues that make people struggle to understand you. Common issues include:

• speaking too fast or slow
• having a confusing or flat intonation
• missing or overemphasising weak sounds
• stressing the wrong parts of words or sentences
• not linking sounds together
• talking with a rhythm that isn't natural to English

We will use a mix of techniques from shadowing and repetition exercises to dramatic readings and real-time speaking practice. We will also use specialist software called Praat so that you can visualise your speech, hear yourself back and make immediate changes to your pronunciation. It's highly effective and pretty fun too!

Our goal: make your speech clearer, more expressive, more enjoyable to listen to and easier to follow.

WHAT MAKES YOUR LESSONS STAND OUT?
First, they’re accessible. In this industry, professional pronunciation training sessions are often priced at €100 an hour or more. That model leaves many people without support. I believe quality teaching shouldn’t be a luxury.

Second, they’re personal. Too many pronunciation courses recycle the same generic materials for everyone. I design each lesson around your needs and issues so the time you spend actually moves you forward.

Finally, they’re research-based. A lot of pronunciation teaching still relies on outdated methods that don’t reflect what we know about how languages are learned. I use approaches grounded in linguistics and pedagogy, so your effort translates into lasting progress.


WHO SIGNS UP FOR AN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION COURSE?
The Pronunciation for Public Speaking and Conversation course is ideal for people who engage in presentations, lectures, speeches or moderating, or simply for people who want to be more confident in everyday conversation.

Pronunciation training benefits professionals from a variety of sectors. My clients include consultants, creatives, therapists, lecturers, teachers, performers, bankers, estate agents, hosts, broadcasters, corporate trainers, small business owners, international executives, and facilitators.

ABOUT ME
My name’s Tom and I’m an English teacher from Southeast England. Now I live in the Hague, Netherlands. I teach English learners how to communicate more clearly.

I have taught for various schools and agencies in the Netherlands and been frustrated by the lack of high-quality materials and expertise in the pronunciation teaching field. So in 2021 I set up my freelance teaching business to change the situation.

I have over 12 years of teaching experience, and I have a master's degree in Linguistics from Leiden University, with a specialisation in English Linguistics. I am trained in speech analysis software, which is a highly effective (and fun!) tool that helps learners not only hear but also visualise their mistakes.

I speak Finnish (my mum's side is from Finland), Mandarin Chinese (I lived in Taiwan for six years) and French (because I love the sound of it). I also know smatterings of other languages like Dutch, Spanish and Japanese. I am also an English language nerd and will happily talk your head off about why British people say "wa'er", what “muscles” have to do with mice, or why English spelling is so beautifully bizarre.
