I have been teaching Mathematics and English at all levels for more than 3 years. I have taught students with learning disabilities as well as students who are excelling in their studies making me well equipped to teach all kinds of students. I have experience as a math substitute at a secondary school (children aged 13-16) and therefore prefer to make a lot of mock exams and exercises myself. I like to keep parents as involved as possible and provide progress meetings outside of lessons. I have taught English to adults at a linguistics company for a year and have some experience teaching adults too. Even if you are an absolute beginner or seem to be struggling, I can find a way to help you learn better.

About Me
Studying is for everyone. As a tutor and a substitute teacher, I have come across many students who believe that some people are just not academically 'gifted'. This is extremely misleading and demotivating. I have learned that every student, regardless of age and ability, can excel in their studies. When I teach, I try to find the best way that works for the individual to give them the best possible chance.
Education
Have graduated from the International Baccalaureate which is known as one of the most competitive educational facilities with regards to mathematics. Currently in a Bachelors programme in university.

⭐ English for Adults of All Levels and Ages with a Native English Teacher

Personalised classes to improve your English grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation with an experienced native English teacher. I am available for you, your relative or your friend online and in The Hague / Den Haag, Netherlands. I teach adults of all levels and ages, including seniors.

CUSTOMISED COURSES:

You can decide what you want to do in our class. Tell me in advance, and I will spend time preparing materials for your needs and goals. For example:

• conversations with feedback and corrections (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation)
• help with reading and writing
• understand and practise grammar
• learn idioms and natural language with context
• prepare for visits abroad or conversations with foreigners
• creative activities like cooking together and language games

TEACHING STYLE:

My classes are light-hearted and highly interactive. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to learn fast and grow in confidence.


💬 I'm Tom, and I've been teaching English since 2013. Originally I'm from the south of England, and I've been happily living in The Hague, Netherlands since 2021. Before this I lived in Finland, Taiwan and mainland China. I speak a bunch of languages besides English, like Mandarin, Finnish, some French, and a little Japanese. When I'm not teaching, I'm working on my Dutch!

I have a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics, and my research focus was how to teach English pronunciation and speaking skills. I won't let you down. 🫡


❗ Very importantly, I will also show you how to study on your own.

I know you won't be my student forever, so I want to prepare you for the future. If you hope to get good at English, it's not enough just to have a tutor once a week – the more time you put into learning English, the better and faster you'll get. I can show you how to easily make digital flashcards, write memorable notes, and use AI in a smart way to teach you English. This way you can keep learning even after our course ends.


DID YOU KNOW?
In English speaking, we usually don't say the word "must". Must is very formal and uncommon unless you're talking about rules ("Passengers must check in and out") or making a confident guess ("You must be Tom!"). Otherwise, must is very old fashioned. Instead, we say "have to" or "need to". In 1965, the Queen said "I must go to the lavatory". Everyone in the 21st century says "I have to go to the toilet." Knowing the differences between formal and informal English is important so you use the right words in the right situations! A native English teacher is the best person to help you with this.
