Timing belts do not slip. They are cog-ed belts.

If your belt is actually jumping time which I find very hard to believe, not only would it be not drivable after jumping just one tooth but would highly likely do permanent valve damage. That would mean that one of the pulleys is coming apart to cause that.

Maybe you should have it done professionally and you wouldn't have these problems if it's not too late already.

If you can count the four teeth (off) it sure isn't good. Like HT said - get it right as it's only your whole engine at stake,
