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.

Ray is an excellent teacher. We typically go over an article he has sent to me a few days before the lesson, but I also enjoy chatting in Dutch about things we've done since the last lesson. I've been surprised by how much I've been able to say and by how much I understand from Ray. He is very relaxed, patient and helpful, and is also a very interesting person to talk to.

Looking forward to the next class!

The lessons with Raymond are great. I am improving my Dutch each class. He makes the lessons engaging and easy to follow. Wilt u uw Nederlands verbeteren? Dan moet u lessen volgen bij Raymond, hij is een uitstekende leraar!
