Saskia K.10/14/2017 - I'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

Dimitrios F.10/14/2013 - German Language Coach, led by Stefan, is a great way to improve your German. The program was tailored to my needs.

During a 3-month long negotiation in Vienna, I was able to switch to fluent German after a few early sessions in English.read moreread less
kanat e.10/14/2018Stefan 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. However after a few months I grew more confident and loved speaking and making jokes in German. 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

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

catarina v.10/14/2020I had lessons from Stefan for 3 months, as preparation for moving to Germany.

Ben K.9/08/2021 - Stefan is a brilliant German coach. I feel three things are important when it comes to coaching a new language.

Kanangnut Y.10/14/2014I 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

I wholly recommend the German Language Coach.read moreread less 
Vina T.10/11/2021 - Can't recommend it enough, brought my skills with German up at a very quick level and Stefan has always been very friendly and open to just having a chat in German.

Duncan R.10/23/2021I worked with Stefan for a number of months last year and his classes were superb.

Highly recommended.read moreread less 
Phillip J.2/24/2024Stefan 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 one-to-one lessons with German Language Coach since 2 years and a half. The lessons are very entertaining, fun and my German has improved significantly.

Andrea E.10/14/2015Couple 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.10/14/2012I have been working with Stefan for quite a few years now. His patience and flexibility is admirable. To me, learning through conversations rather than only practicing grammar is important. Our conversations covering everything from the German political landscape, history and culture is a highlights and provides me with a lot more than only the ability to practice my German language. Highly recommended.read moreread less
