I can only recommend Bob. The best English teacher I have ever had. It's great fun to learn with him, he always has helpful tips/feedback and makes a real effort to look for material or correct written texts even outside of lessons. He is also a person with whom you can have great conversations on a friendly basis. I am very happy to have chosen Bob as my teacher because he also got me through my IELTS exam successfully. I was extremely nervous and unsure if I could do it, but Bob took away my doubts and fear. Thank you so much Bob! I wish you all the best.
Best regards, Mark

My son has been having lessons with Bob for four years now and even after this time he leaves his room with a smile after the lesson with Bob. Apart from being a super kind and helpful man he is an excellent teacher who managed to help my son becoming a laureate in the national english competition in Poland. We couldn’t wish for a better english tutor!!!
