Clear theoryLarge examples explain form, meaning, use, and spoken English.
Active drillsTap, build, correct, retrieve, and get meaningful feedback.
Real communicationFinish by using the language for an adult, practical purpose.
past time → past form. Your brain already knows this rule — it just hasn't become a reflex yet. So we drill it until it is one.
Mistakes aren't failures.
They're the lesson plan.
Notice
We talk about your real life — your job, your city, your plans. When an error appears, we don't skip past it. We catch the exact pattern, usually something your first language is quietly importing into English.
Clear
One small idea at a time, explained in seconds — not a grammar lecture. You rebuild the sentence yourself, step by step, so the fix comes from your own thinking, not from memorizing mine.
Drill
Then we make it automatic: quick, varied repetitions until the correct form is faster than the old mistake. You finish the lesson saying it right without thinking — which is the whole point of speaking.
An American who explains
the part textbooks skip.
I'm Thomas — born and raised in the United States, now living in Chiapas, Mexico. I teach conversation and pronunciation to working adults: developers, professionals, and anyone who reads English far better than they can speak it.
I'm not a textbook. Most students already know more grammar than they think — what's missing is the reflex. So we talk about your real life, I catch the exact patterns your first language quietly imports into English, and we drill them until the right form is automatic.
With 1000+ lessons taught, the thing I care about most is simple: you leave every session having said something real — and a little more sure of yourself than when you walked in.
Your first language isn't a problem.
It's the starting point.
Developers in Brazil
Tech interviews, daily standups, and the meeting where you finally disagree out loud.
Professionals from Ukraine
Workplace English for new careers abroad — emails, clients, and small talk that lands.
Spanish speakers everywhere
From Bogotá to Monterrey to Florida — exam prep, HR meetings, patients and clients.
Readers who can't speak yet
B2 on paper, A1 out loud? We close the gap between what you know and what you say.
Anyone tired of freezing
If you understand Netflix but panic in meetings, you're exactly who this works for.
Italians going global
Strong on vocabulary, tangled in tenses — especially the simple past Italian quietly skips.
Students grade every lesson.

Questions I get
before lesson one.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No. Come as you are. Bring something real you'd like to talk about if you have it — work, travel, an interview — but I'll always have a plan if you don't.
What level do I need to start?
Anywhere from absolute beginner to advanced. If you can read this page, we can work together. Your first lesson maps where you actually are out loud — usually a level higher than people expect.
Is it grammar lessons or conversation?
Conversation first — but we stop and clear the grammar the moment it gets in the way. You get the rule in seconds, then we make it automatic. You can also browse the full A0–C1 curriculum map.
What if I freeze up or make mistakes?
That's the whole point — mistakes are the lesson plan. Lessons are built to feel safe, and reassurance comes first, because confidence is what unlocks speaking.
How long are lessons, and where?
50 minutes, one-on-one, online. I prepare materials around you and send notes after each session, so progress stays visible.

Say hello.
One lesson is enough to map your patterns and show you exactly what we'd clear first. Worst case, you practice English for an hour with a friendly American. Best case, it clicks.
