MEET YOUR TEACHER
Hi, I’m Teacher Tom – a Londoner, British English expert and Chief Eat Sleep Dreamer.
I’ve been a teacher for 17 years, working in Spain, Argentina, Hong Kong and London. I’ve built an online audience of over 600,000 students around the world on YouTube and Instagram. And if my experience has taught me anything it’s that most teaching methods do not prepare you for the language you actually hear in the homes, offices and streets of the UK.
This funny little island nation is a melting pot of words, sounds and culture, and I’m a big believer in celebrating that. My job is to help people from around the world feel at home in the UK whether they are living here or simply visiting for a few days.
