As a student, I can vividly remember which teaching methods helped me the most and I know how to simply explain complex topics so that it is easy to understand.
I have several experiences with tutoring, especially children from 6-14 years old. I assign homeworks to check whether we ́ve made a progress.
With me, learning certain subject or improving your skills will be mostly fun and interactive so that the student will remember more what we ́ve discussed.

Tom
✔️ 13 years IELTS teaching experience
✔️ Cambridge-qualified teacher
✔️ Customised lessons just for you
✔️ Real test materials only — no basic textbooks

💬 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 since 2021. Before this I lived in Taiwan and mainland China. I speak a bunch of languages besides English, like Mandarin, Finnish, some French, and a little Japanese – and now of course I'm learning Dutch!

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only.

I’ve helped more than 100 students get 6 and above. Are you taking the IELTS test for university? Do you need IELTS for a job application? I will happily help you. I am a total IELTS nerd — I have taken the test myself and I have created my own expert study guidebooks, which I am happy to share with you. I can answer any of your questions about IELTS and help you get the score you need. Let's go! 💪


⭐Prepare for the IELTS test with an experienced, friendly and professional native English teacher


TEACHING STYLE:

Although I take the IELTS test seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. 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 feel good and grow confidence.


My classes are focused completely on test skills. You will learn how to answer questions much faster with me.

👂 LISTENING: The IELTS listening test is full of DISTRACTIONS. It is designed to make you not sure about the answer. Usually, there is not just one simple answer, but there are two or three possible answers, and only one is completely correct. I will teach you to pay attention to the correct keywords and reject the distractions. SPELLING is also very important for this test. English spelling is complicated, but there are RULES and patterns that I will teach you.

📚 READING: I will teach you how to increase your reading SPEED, quickly find key information and reject distractions. You will learn how to answer all question types including multiple choice, matching information, true/false/not given, filling in blanks, and labelling diagrams.

🖊️ WRITING: You will learn about all the Task 1 question types including graphs, charts, maps and diagrams, plus all the Task 2 essay types. My COMPLETE WRITING GUIDE will give you all of the sentence patterns and structures you need to answer any question type. Even if you don't normally write well, you will be PREPARED for the test. I will also teach you to write QUICKLY, as it is essential to finish both tasks and reach the minimum number of words within one hour.

👄 SPEAKING: I will help you answer FLUENTLY and CLEARLY without hesitation in Part 1, make short speeches in Part 2, and give long and confident answers to all types of difficult questions in Part 3. I will help you with improve your fluency, pronunciation and confidence.


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