Raymond

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.

Great teacher.

Raymond is a good English teacher who not only makes learning engaging but also tailors his teaching style to suit individual needs. His clear explanations and creative methods make even the most complex grammar rules easy to understand. What truly sets him apart is his ability to weave cultural insights into the lessons, which enriches the learning experience. I also love that Raymond introduced me to some Dutch words and phrases during our sessions. This added a unique and fun twist to our lessons, sparking my curiosity about another language and culture. In my opinion, the location of the lessons is also important, and Raymond usually ensures a quiet, distraction-free environment for better focus and productivity, though not every time. For me, it’s really important not to rush to wrap things up at the end of the lesson, making sure I leave with a full understanding of the material. I would be happy to see more of this in future lessons. Thank you for our lessons. Dima.

Raymond is very patient and helpful. He is helping me prepare for my exams.
