About Timothy
- What kind of experience do you have? I began my career as an actor in 1979 at Southwold summer theatre, a weekly repertory theatre company. I went on to appear in many West End productions through the years, notably Macbeth at The Old Vic, Man and Superman at The Theatre Royal Haymarket. Following a two year run in Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell at The Apollo, I went on to form my own production company. My narration work includes A Christmas Carol and The Signalman by Charles Dickens, Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome, short stories by Stacy Aumonier and Saki as well as most recently My Italian Bulldozer by Alexander McCall Smith. I have worked extensively in the City as a coach and public speaker for such organisations as The Worshipful Company of Chartered Surveyors, Microrent plc and Smith Williamson. I provide private tutorials on voice production, elocution and presentation skills to a wide range of clients, from actors to executives. - Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate? No. - Where and with whom did you train? I trained at LAMDA, shortly before being nominated for most promising newcomer in the West End Theatre awards.

Perfect! I have been having weekly lessons with Timothy for a few months now. Timothy's method is, without question, unconventional but remarkably effective. At first, his approach can feel a bit disorienting, but in the long run, it works.
This method might not suit everyone, especially those who prefer a more conventional style. However, for students willing to adapt, it builds a much deeper and more lasting understanding. Overall, while the method is certainly “particular,” I believe it is undeniably efficient. Thank you Timothy!Perfect! Sir Timothy is a wonderful, marvelous teacher
Perfect! When I was searching for a coach, the idea was to get enrolled for a couple of sessions only. Now, I can't tell when I am going to decide to stop, for the simple reason that I have been enjoying the sessions with Tim. Not just fun, but in every session I am learning new things. Sometimes things which I would have never discovered without Tim. What will keep learning with with Tim is his effort and plan to push me reach perfection. And finally, his kindness and the advice he provides are valuable.
Tim's strengths are his willingness to make you speak not just like a native speaker but as a professional too and one can see that his ultimate goal is getting to perfection through different methods combining the right accent, variation in voice, vocabulary, poetry, sight reading etc.
Tim, I am extremely happy and thanks a lot.
Would I recommend Tim? Oh definitely yes.
Ibrahim- I have much enjoyed working with Ibrahim.He is diligent in his exercises and i believe has fun.We continue!Timothy's response :

Sir Timothy Ackroyd is the kindest, most patient teacher and guide you could ever find and that's no hyperbole! His passion for English and his extra sensitive ear for phonemes is pure magic. With him you are in safe hands. He never worries about the clock and indefatigably presses on well past your slotted time. I cannot believe my luck that I get to call him my tutor, my master, nay my friend. I could go on and on, but then this would turn into as essay! My advice - go for it - book that session.
Working with Sir Timothy has been a great pleasure and privilege.Sir Timothy focuses first on vocal techniques and building one's self confidence.
Through his classes,i've improved my voice,built good self confidence and tackled my inhibitions around public speaking.
I'd highly recommend his classes to tackle fears of public speaking and to discover your own vocal strength and variety.Timothy,your work and care of Nicolas has been both inspirational and miraculous.You've taken a sports-mad,testosterone filled "poetry is boring,doesn't make sense and is for girls'kind of boy and forced a hundred degree turn.
The effect of this on Nicolas will be both positive and profound during his lifetime.What you have achieved is awe inspiring and you have our total admiration.a step closer to becoming a native speaker.
Thank you Sir Timothy for doing what you do ,and doing it so well.
Maxim Osadchiy.I was looking for an elocution teacher to improve my English.Anxious to find an experienced professional who would understand my concerns and would be able to find a bespoke solution,i was very lucky to find Sir Timothy.
The progress came quickly,,but i discovered so much more with Sir Timothy.A professional,a thoroughly delightful man so generous in sharing his life experiences and knowledge of the world.Each class is a joy and a wonderful journey into poetry,literature and ultimately,Sir Timothy is unmatched by other tutors. Students will benefit from tailored training based on their level of English. We went through exercises to improve the diction and clarity of my speech including exercises on vowels and consonants and breathing. What I find most valuable is his wider vision and expectation of his students: he has also helped me learn to appreciate English culture. Having been with him for 2 years I still enjoy my time with him and cannot recommend him more highly.
