Do believe the hype

Incredibly talented people saying nice things about me.
(No bribes were used in these testimonials – I swear!) 

Caro Emerald, Artist:
'What surprised me the most about Buffi's advice is that it's so darned useful and practical!'

Stevie Ann, Artist:
'I've been working with Buffi for a couple of years now and it always gives me a great feeling to get feedback from her. It's not just about using the right grammar but about the whole story behind a lyric and have it come out as good as it can be.
It's great to know that someone's watching out for those little things that can really make a song lyric better.'

Jochem Otten,Director of Education
Design Academy Eindhoven

"Design Rocks!
Design Academy Eindhoven is an internationally well-known education institute, with students from 42 different nationalities. Since there is a big difference in the fluency of the English language it’s hard to find a flexible way to help students to improve. I’m so glad that I finally met Buffi and that she was willing to give shape to that challenge. Buffi’s personality, enthusiasm and approach to teaching English fits in wonderfully in our creative environment.”
 
Jasper Erkens, singer/songwriter - the youngest person (16!) to ever play Rock Werchter, Belgium
" Buffi, slayer of my worst lyrics (but with love!)."

Jan Marijnissen, former member of Parliament:
"Learning results depend on several factors: knowledge, ability and motivation of the student, but also on the qualities and character of the teacher. With Buffi, this relationship is different than with other people. She is able to get more out of them, and achieve more with them. How? Through her dedication, enthusiasm, and her excellent people skills. She is proof that education is really all about people. She's an example to follow!"

Bart van der Weide, singer Racoon:
“Yes I'm a talker. I talk way too much and way too honest. Especially when I shouldn't. Or should I say; I used to. Buffi poked her finger up my sore spot, if you catch my drift. She made me feel like a little amateur, mediawise. Which I was. She made me see myself objectively. Doing so, she really gave me my money’s worth! I owe her big time.”

Gerard Boontjes, Managing Director, Rockacademie Tilburg:
“When I first met Buffi she told me she was on a mission. I think her mission has extended since then towards the Rockacademie. She is a very special person and I am happy she joined us as the Rockacademie. Buffi, if you cannot improve the level of English at our school, then nobody can! I hope we will be working together for a very long time.
And Krezip, thanks a lot for the tip!”

Jacqueline Govaert, singer/songwriter Krezip:
“Buffi came to the studio when we were ready to record the vocals on our second CD. She went through all the lyrics with me and checked everything. Then she coached me to make sure my pronunciation was both natural and accurate. I was able to eliminate all of my bad pronunciation habits. I really heard a difference in my pronunciation, and so did everybody else!”

Corné Bouchers, 013 Muziekantenservice:
“Buffi...spontaneous, honest, and motivating. Buffi has the gift of being able to analyze people quickly and to use that in her training sessions. The openness in how she presents herself ensures that people feel at ease and this enables them to get the best out of themselves and the courses. My compliments!”

Henkjan Smits, Chairman of Idols Jury:
“I regularly criticized Jamai on his pronunciation during the live shows of Idols 2003. If you listen to his album now, it is clear...Buffi was here!!! Buffi made Jamai’s English sound more English than ever before. She did it by using her famous tennis ball, among other things, which is kind of strange but it definitely works!”

Marco Roelofs, singer/songwriter: De Heideroosjes:
“I don’t like people who tell me what to do. Except for Buffi! Because she teaches English with such a smile and energy, it even gets my lazy rock ‘n’ roll ass working! Buffi is a punk rocker, hell yeah!!”

Edwin Jansen, Director, AT Productions, the Hague:
“One of Buffi’s strengths is that she really goes into the personal needs of all her clients. She focuses on what you need and how you learn, and makes learning a pleasure.”

Oscar Holleman, Producer (Krezip, De Heideroosjes, Within Temptation):
“I have seen people grow from a Dutch pronunciation to a non-Dutch pronunciation, thanks to Buffi’s good work. This has so much added value for all our artists. A must for anyone who is serious about music.”

Reyn Ouwehand, producer:
“Buffi...the best way to solve one of the most neglected issues in the Dutch music business – pronunciation and grammar!"

Dinand Woesthoff, singer/songwriter Kane:
“Buffi…? Simply the best!”

Kim-Lian van der Meij, singer/songwriter:
“I’ve enjoyed working with Buffi a lot! For my promotional tours outside of Holland I had to do a lot of TV and radio interviews. Buffi gave me media training and helped me improve my English in her very nice and funny way, so that I didn’t feel like a complete idiot. And it worked! I even got to co-host Top of the Pops (UK) out of it! What a compliment for Buffi´s work! In addition, she’s also checked the lyrics of all the songs I’ve written for my new album. She is just fabulous, even her invoices look great!”

Wendy Hobbelink and Martin Thoolen, directors, Circumference, Bergen:
“It was a real pleasure to work with Buffi. She was so focused on our questions and our target group. She was dedicated, flexible, sharp, and had her own creative contributions. She is a reliable and expert partner to work with…someone you want to keep on working with!”
