- I have been studying with Stefan for a number of years and he has been of tremendous help to my efforts to improve my German. Stefan is always well prepared and thoughtful with his lesson plans which make our interactions enjoyable and very productive. I couldnt recommend Stefan highly enough to prospective students.read moreread less
Daniel M.2/22/2022I started my 1-to-1 German lessons with Stefan in August 2014. Previously I had taken classes (up to 12 people) with a school, but was getting nowhere fast.Within a few weeks of starting the lessons with Stefan my German level improved greatly and continues to do so. With a flexible teaching plan we have been able to tailor the lessons to my abilities (or lack thereof!) and needs.I am delighted with my progress which has been much quicker than I could have imagined. And my German wife is also continually impressed with my progress.I would highly recommend Stefan if you really want to learn German and get a real grasp of all aspects of the language - writing, speaking. listening.read moreread less 
Mark G.10/14/2015Stefan Oloffs was teaching me online for almost about a year. Unlike in a classroom with a rigid schedule and curriculum, he tailored our lessons to my needs perfectly. We had a lot of speaking practise covering various topics, and it was always pleasant to chat with him. The way he captured notes during our sessions were very organized. He had his own material capturing the most key information about various types & levels of grammatical topics, as well as following worksheets, that built up in a very logical way. All these aspects allowed me to easily go back and find material, review what I learned, advance very quickly and eventually pass the German level exam I needed, at the time I targeted. Thank you!read moreread less 
Cansu K.11/20/2023 - I have had 1:1 lessons with Stefan Oloffs over a year and have been very pleased with Stefan's diligence, punctuality and personable character.

catarina v.10/14/2020Stefan is a brilliant German coach. I feel three things are important when it comes to coaching a new language. Having a good structure, keeping things interesting so interest in learning keep going and good connection between tutor and student. Stefan hit the spots in these three areas (and more).read moreread less 
herve h.10/14/2018 - I had lessons from Stefan for 3 months, as preparation for moving to Germany. I had zero German at the start, but Stefan used a highly structured approach to teach me the basics, focusing on correct grammar and usage. He was always very well prepared with a clear plan for each lesson and and he put a lot of effort into tailoring the lessons to me, including going back and repeating material to make sure it 'stuck'. For anyone serious about wanting to learn German, I highly recommend Stefan.read moreread less
Mark B.10/14/2017Couple of months ago I decided to start learning German and after some research on Google came across German Language Coach. I immediately liked the idea of structuring the lessons regarding the individual's goals and pace, as that was what I was looking for. I liked the speed with which my first lesson was orginized so that I could start my lessons without wasting my enthusiasm! The course itself was brilliant, interesting, challenging, motivating. I am already having small talks in German at parties and able to read newspapers without much consultation of the dictionary. Since I am moving to LA in couple of weeks, I was suggested Skype sessions in order to continue my studies, which is another great option available. The course fully met my expectations, I do recommend it to anyone interested in learning German.read moreread less 
Julia K.10/14/2012Stefan is a very thorough teacher and extremely helpful. I went to him in November with the genuine concern I would fail my German exams at university but his teaching has been so great and made me feel so comfortable with the language. I recently received my results and not only passed my exam but by a mile and I couldn’t have done it without his tutoring. 🙂read moreread less 
Sheida M.7/13/2023 - I worked with Stefan for a number of months last year and his classes were superb. I'd been teaching myself for a few years, but Stefan's teaching vastly accelerated what I was able to do. I full intend to go back to having regular classes as soon as I have time later on this year. Highly recommended.read moreread less
Phillip J.2/24/2024I cannot recommend Stefan enough for German lessons. He is not only extremely supportive but also pushes you to your best abilities and has allowed me to gain such confidence with the German language.

If you are looking for a reliable and punctual tutor who will take your German to the next level, then Stefan is for you!read moreread less 
Flora K.6/06/2022I've been working with Stefan for nearly four years now and my German has improved very much. Under Stefan's teaching my German colleagues noticed a marked improvement and I am able to carny on conversations with our German colleagues and customers. The lessons themselves are a mix of grammatical exercises, free conversations, and structured topic-based multimedia interaction. They are well-tailored to my level and Stefan pays attention to explaining concepts clearly and is able to both spend time of difficult concepts while introducing new elements to keep things fresh.I wholeheartedly recommend German Language Coach to anybody considering German instruction at any level.read moreread less 
George P.10/14/2014 - I have been learning German with Stefan for a little over 2 years now - initially to support some work travel to Germany but I have continued with it throughout COVID to continue with something that I have enjoyed.

Stuart G.7/14/2021 - German Language Coach, led by Stefan, is a great way to improve your German. The program was tailored to my needs.

Ben K.9/14/2021I have been working with Stefan for quite a few years now. His patience and flexibility is admirable.

Highly recommended.read moreread less 
Henrik M.10/14/2021Stefan significantly improved my German in such a short space of time. He encouraged me to solely speak in German each lesson, even though I had little confidence in my German ability.

Fun work exercises were given to me to consolidate my grammar and were of great help to me. i thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Stefan. Would highly recommend him to anyone of any level!read moreread less

Sweta M.11/14/2020 - I have taken weekly in person German lessons with Stefan, the German Language Coach, for 6 months and it has been a fantastic experience. Previously, I had taken group lessons at a leading provider and in spite of two years learning, my German knowledge, specifically grammar, was uneven, and I remained challenged by conversation. Stefan was able to identify my areas for development, focus on them and at my own pace, improve them. My conversation, in particular my confidence, and on the spot grammar, is significantly improved. I look forward to continuing my learning with Stefan and recommend this approach wholeheartedly to those looking to improve their German.read moreread less
