Video intro

About Bob Kessels

My name is Bob and I am born and raised in the South of The Netherlands. Besides being an iTalki teacher, I’m also 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. During my study it happened that 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 even more. I’m very much looking forward to pass this fascination onto my students at iTalki and I can't wait!

Teaching style

During my lessons, my main aim is to help you feel confident with your Dutch and enjoy the ride towards that goal. We are going to explore the Dutch language by chatting about lots of different subjects. Increasing your vocabulary will therefore happen instantly, by speaking about lots of different topics, trending stuff that is happening in The Netherlands, or in the world. Besides that, we are also going to speak about Dutch culture, as well as looking into your grammar skills at the same time. Germanic languages have the reputation of being difficult, but I am going to prove to you that they can be fun as well! Because having fun and being good at something often go together really well!!
