Lessons are tailored, engaging, and practical, making complex linguistic concepts clear through relevant examples with a touch of humour.

Theo was one of my teachers at university . He was a teacher, tutor, and mentor all in one. His lessons were engaging, thought-provoking, and always sparked curiosity. He challenged us to think critically and inspired us to push beyond our limits.
His passion for linguistics and his insightful outlook on life captivated everyone in the classroom. I highly recommend Theo to anyone seeking to learn at the highest level. He will challenge you, inspire you, and undoubtedly bring out the best in you.Theo is an amazing and engaging teacher with excellent approach, full of energy and encouragement. I've had the honour of being his student 15 years ago and I still use his techniques now. His teaching style is real-life oriented, with examples that one can easily come across in everyday life. He uses up-to-date resources and is always keen to listen to students' contributions. He has definitely had a positive impact on my academic life, but more importantly, has prepared me to tackle the English-speaking world head on.
Theo is a tutor with a wealth of knowledge, there is so much you can learn from him. He has been my tutor and lecturer.
He is very professional and has helped me so much through my studies. He has supported me immensely whilst I was going through personal issues. Without his support I probably wouldn’t have completed my studies. There could not be a better tutor nor person than Theo.Theo's engaging, yet informative approach to teaching the English Language and liguistics has impacted my life in such a positive way I have now a newfound appreciation for language learning and teaching. I cannot praise Theo highly enough.
Theo had been my tutor while I was studying at the university, English language and TEFL and later on while I was doing my MA in Applied linguistics and ELT. I recommend Theo because he is a great tutor and a person too. Next to him I learnt how to write in academic style, using correct grammatical rules and syntax. I also learnt the significance of the pronunciation and intonation regarding young foreign learners of the English language. Theo has not only been my tutor but also my mentor. His help during exams, his constant affirmations that I would succeed in the end, and his belief in me made me work harder and achieve my goals. Speaking as a teacher now, a great part of my teaching is based on his lectures and his advice.
