Bob is a fantastic English teacher with a clear and pleasant British accent that makes listening and learning a pleasure. His teaching style is friendly, approachable, and very accommodating; he always tailors the lessons to my needs and creates a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere. What really stands out are his insightful comments and guidance, especially when it comes to my job interview preparation. His feedback is astute, practical, and has instilled me great confidence in his ability to help me. I highly recommend Bob to anyone looking to improve their English, especially in professional settings.

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
