ABOUT ME My name’s Tom and I’m an English teacher from Southeast England, based in the Hague, Netherlands. I teach English speakers 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 teaching materials and expertise among teachers of English pronunciation. So in 2021 I set up my freelance teaching business to change the situation. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, and I have a master's degree in Linguistics from Leiden University, with a specialisation in English Linguistics, Phonetics and Speech Processing. I am trained in speech analysis software, a highly effective tool that I use to help learners not only hear but also visualise their mistakes. In my spare time, I study and learn languages.
