My name is Bob and I’m born and raised in the South of The Netherlands. Besides being an iTalki teacher, I’m a professional musician, after having graduated from my Bachelor of Music, at the Rock Academy in 2019. My professional life brought me to several countries and cultures. So it happened that, during my study, I got to live and work in Berlin & London, Europe’s two most vibrant music cities. After I started to tour intensively throughout the UK and northern Europe, with my London-based band The Gulls, my fascination for different cultures and languages started to evolve big time. I’m now very much looking forward to pass this fascination onto my students at iTalki and I can’t wait!

I've had another lesson with Bob, and once again, it was a great experience. The conversation flowed naturally, which made it easy to practice speaking and get more comfortable with the language. Bob provided corrections when needed, explained the relevant rules clearly, and offered helpful example sentences. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!

I had a trial lesson with Bob today while looking for a teacher matching my new schedule. Prior to the lesson Bob was flexible and friendly, as well as during the lesson where he adapted to my level and was diligent with his explanations. He speaks at a natural pace but remains intelligible, which makes for great practice. Nogmaals bedankt Bob!

I’ve had 2 lessons with Bob and I’m going to book next lessons. I felt comfortable speaking. Bob gives both theory and practical skills. He speaks to my level of knowledge. I appreciate that Bob encourages me and gives Dutch idioms or says how the Dutch would have said that. It helps me to learn how to sound authentic and correct. Highly recommend this teacher☀️

I just had another great lesson with Bob. The conversation practice is always very valuable and we also did some exercises regarding Dutch articles which are a frequent source of mistakes.
