Hello there! / Hallo allemaal! I'm Raymond, but you can call me Ray. I was born and raised in Amsterdam and grew up bilingual (Dutch/English). I enjoy engaging in conversations with people from around the world, which is why I chose to teach on italki. Outside of work and teaching, I keep myself busy with calisthenics, traveling, cooking, and riding motorcycles. Mijn naam is Raymond, maar jij mag mij Ray noemen. Ik hou ervan om gesprekken te voeren met verschillende mensen van over de hele wereld. Daarom heb ik ervoor gekozen om op italki les te geven. Wanneer ik niet aan het werk ben of les geef, houd ik mij graag bezig met sporten, reizen, koken en motorrijden.

Raymond quickly adapted to my needs, playing a vital role in enhancing my Dutch speaking skills. His friendly encouragement made conversations feel natural, akin to chatting with a friend. I genuinely looked forward to my weekly lessons with him. His positive approach made speaking Dutch less challenging, reducing grammatical errors, broadening my active vocabulary, and enhancing my readiness for immersion in Dutch society. Over six months of weekly sessions, I progressed from A2.2/B1.1 to B1.2/B2.1 proficiency. While I had a decent grasp of vocabulary and grammar, I often struggled to put them into practice during speech. Raymond's classes significantly helped make my speech feel more natural and accurate. I now feel much closer to achieving professional fluency in the near future.

Ray is the best teacher I've ever had. His classes are well-structured, and he knows how difficult it might be to learn a new language from scratch. I started to feel progress almost immediately! Moreover, Raymond is not only an experienced tutor but also an interesting person: we can discuss everything - from politics and economics to films and tattoos.

I am someone who traditionally struggles to learn language, but Raymond is an unparalleled teacher. I feel for the first time that I am making substantial progress towards achieving my dream of being bilingual after many failed attempts in school. Raymond is attentive and knowledgable, he exhibits a fundamental understanding of many languages which allows him to tailer the course in a way that works best for you. I would highly recommend Raymond to anyone looking to learn a language.
