Elisabeth is an absolutely excellent teacher, she is very patient and thorough and makes it easy to understand. She has helped me learn a lot in a short space of time, I would thoroughly recommend taking German lessons with her.

I’ve had an incredible experience learning German with Elisabeth! Her teaching style is engaging, patient, and tailored to my needs. She has a deep understanding of the language and explains even the most complex grammar rules in a clear and approachable way. Elisabeth creates a positive and encouraging environment, making every lesson both productive and enjoyable. I’ve seen great improvement in my skills thanks to her guidance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn or improve their German!

Elisabeth ist eine beste Lehrerin, mit der ich jemals gearbeitet habe. Sie passt immer an meine Ziele an, die sich schon mehrmals verändert haben. Die Unterrichte sind nie langweilig und passieren schnell. Darüber hinaus hat sie mir motiviert, mehr Deutsch zu lernen, weil es beginnt, mir so viel Spaß zu machen!
