His approach is adaptive and responsive to your specific learning needs, always keeping the lesson goals in sight while making sure they are practically applicable to your work. Bryan uses modern tools to support engaging and effective teaching. He creates a positive, professional atmosphere that makes it a real pleasure to learn. His strong communication skills and thoughtful guidance make him an outstanding instructor."

    Annemarie Bibo | Board Secretary, Faculty of Humanities | Leiden University

  • "It was a pleasure to work with Bryan O’Donovan. He was supportive, easy going and committed to our group, preparing us for the CPE-exam. His teaching style is interactive and diverse. That makes it a lot easier to keep your attention, which is kind of a challenge with such a language course. Bryan takes care of variation in exercises, with a light humorous touch and has an appreciative way of giving feedback; even when you’re way off, he gently guides you in the right direction. All together I definitely recommend Bryan!"

    Rink Weijs | Lecturer | Rotterdam Business School

  • “Bryan has the expertise to help with your English in many different ways. I was looking for someone who could help me prepare for specific meetings, presentations or consultations. It was great that Bryan could so flexibly align his schedule with mine, coupled with focusing on an activity coming up that I wanted to prepare together. In doing so, Bryan also always prepared for the content of the presentation or meeting, in addition to the language. In my opinion, that is where Bryan's professionalism really shines through. His knowledge and skills go far beyond just English – that combination makes Bryan a very good match at all levels and for all positions within an organisation.”

    Drs. Laurien Poleij | Director | Erasmus Research and Business Support

  • "Bryan perfectly responded to my personal needs. Thanks to his remarkably effective way of teaching, he not only helped me to improve my English linguistically, but also furthered my confidence. I feel freer and more relaxed now when I speak English in public. Thanks to Bryan, I have become a better professional. "

    Ad Maas | Curator | Rijksmuseum Boerhaave | Professor Museological Aspects of the Natural Sciences | Leiden University

  • “When I began 1-1 (online) sessions with Bryan, speaking English was something I really wanted to improve. I was a bit nervous at first, but Bryan quickly made me feel at ease. His feedback is thoughtful and encouraging, which I really appreciated. I learned a lot, not only in speaking but also in writing, thanks to the varied assignments tailored to my learning goals. The lessons were also engaging and – honestly – a lot of fun. I highly recommend working with Bryan to anyone looking to improve their English communication skills!”
