Thanks for visiting thornenglish.com. This site is run by Thomas Harris — a sole trader offering one-to-one English pronunciation, public speaking and accent coaching. These terms are kept plain and simple, as befits a small, one-person business.
By using this website, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the site.
This site provides basic information about my coaching services, and links for existing and prospective clients to book lessons — either through my client portal (for existing clients) or via Preply (for new enquiries). The site also hosts coaching materials and tools intended only for clients, or anyone else I’ve shared access with directly.
Specific terms relating to booking, cancellations, and payment for lessons arranged through me directly (not within Preply) are set out separately in my Booking Policy (linked from the client portal) or displayed within the client portal at the time of booking.
The content on this site — including any coaching materials, text, and branding — belongs to me and shouldn’t be copied or reused without permission.
I do my best to keep this site accurate and up to date, but I can’t guarantee it will always be error-free or available. Nothing on this site should be taken as a guarantee of specific results from coaching.
As a sole trader, my liability in connection with this website is limited to what’s reasonable and proportionate for a small business of this kind, and doesn’t exclude anything that can’t legally be excluded (such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence).
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales up to and including 14th August 2026. From 15th August 2026, they will be governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.
I may update these terms from time to time as my circumstances change. The latest version will always be on this page.
