English, English as a Foreign Language, French, Spanish
A First-Class UCL Ancient History graduate with a Cambridge CELTA, Timothy creates a safe space where students feel confident to ask as many questions as they need.
Timothy graduated from University College London in 2014 with a First in Ancient History and gained the Cambridge CELTA qualification in teaching English as a foreign language. He grew up in Sussex and attended Worth Abbey on a partial scholarship, achieving As in Maths, English, French and Music and serving as organ scholar, before taking A-levels in Ancient History and Classics at MPW in South Kensington.
Timothy taught English at international summer schools throughout university, including Heathfield Summer School and Europe Langues Organisation, working with teenagers from France, Spain, Japan, Russia and beyond. After graduating he moved to the south of Spain, where he gave one-to-one English tuition to students of all ages, helping them improve their conversation skills and prepare for Cambridge English exams.
Remembering how he avoided asking questions at school for fear they seemed too basic, Timothy works hard to create a safe environment in which students feel confident to ask anything. He adapts to each student’s learning style and works with them to understand how they learn best.
