Introduction

I am a native English speaker who loves learning and teaching languages. I have taught many things from languages to music to art over the past 20 years. I speak fluent Spanish as well as some French and Hungarian. I focus on grammar, pronunciation, and making lessons enjoyable and useful for everyday situations. Having learned a second language as an adult, I know the challenges and frustrations that it can create, and feel I can aid students in avoiding many of these obstacles. My focus is creating customized, targeted and fun lessons where the student will feel excited to learn.

Tim has taught me for one year, and I have been making a progress with my English. He is extremely dedicated to his teaching, invariably calm, and helps me to pronounce correctly. He willingly answers my questions anytime (of course not at night). I am so lucky that I have him as my private teacher.

Having Timothy as my English teacher has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about English, but he also brings warmth, humor, and genuine care to every lesson/class. Learning with him feels like more than just education, it’s an inspiring journey of growth. Tim makes even the most challenging concepts accessible and engaging. He adapts each lesson to our unique needs, always ensuring that no one gets left behind. What sets Tim apart is his incredible ability to boost our confidence. He has a gift for helping us to see how much we’ve improved, while also guiding us on what to work on next. It’s not just about language skills, it’s about the self-assurance, curiosity, and courage he cultivates in all of us. I’ll always be grateful to have had such a talented and compassionate teacher. Anyone who has the chance to learn from Tim is truly lucky! Ps.: I’ve had both group and private lessons with Tim, and he knows exactly how to navigate each format to create the best environment for learning.

Timothy is a brilliant teacher and being his student was a great experience. He is very patient person who is able to explain the same things again and again without loosing self-control. He always gives some extra materials and ready to answer to all your questions. During the period, that I studied with Tim, my English became much better. I am really thankful that we met because to find such a great teacher and so responsive person is very hard. I highly recommended taking lessons with Tim, don't lose your chance!

Tim is the best teacher. He is patient, organized, and clear. He has helped me with my pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. It’s incredibly important to have a teacher you feel comfortable with, someone you can make mistakes with, ask anything, and feel safe knowing you won’t be judged and will receive support. My English is completely different since I started with him. Highly recommended.
