Ik als leerkracht
I have more than 20 years’ teaching experience, with over 10,000 classes taught on iTalki. I also have many years’ work experience in a highly competitive commercial environment.
No matter what your requirements and goals, I can help you to identify any issues that you may have so that we can work on them together.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My style is relaxed and friendly, analytical and practical. I try to put my clients at their ease, so that they feel comfortable and able to communicate easily. I’m a very experienced listener. I won’t interrupt you unless you ask me to. I take notes during our sessions and I use my experience to assess your needs and help you to develop a plan. I strongly believe that learning should also be fun.
So if you just want to practise your conversational skills, or if you have an important interview, exam, presentation or meeting, I can help you to achieve those goals.

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!!!
