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 less

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.
