I've really enjoyed my lessons and working with Jeffrey so far. From the very first lesson, I felt comfortable and encouraged, even though I can be quite nervous with new people. Jeffrey has created a very supportive and relaxed environment. The pace of the lessons is perfect for me, and I really appreciate how we start each one with a friendly catch-up about what we’ve been up to before jumping into the material. I like this format — it’s both comfortable and relaxed, while still helping me move at a great pace toward my goal of achieving a B2 certificate. Jeffrey is always encouraging, even with things outside the lessons, like when I read a new German book or speak with native speakers that I know. His support gave me the confidence to speak one-on-one with my boyfriend’s nan, and she absolutely loved it — it was a really heart warming experience. I truly have Jeffrey to thank for helping me build my German skills to the point where that was possible. He’s very knowledgeable and explains everything — grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation — in a clear, approachable way. He’s quick to gently correct and guide me, always explaining the reasoning behind things, which helps me understand not just the what, but the why. I feel like I make real progress in every lesson, and Jeffrey’s feedback is always constructive and respectful. Overall, it’s been an incredibly enjoyable and comfortable experience, and I genuinely look forward to each lesson. Ich finde jede Stunde wirklich toll, und wir machen viel Spaß zusammen. :)

Jeffrey is an outstanding German tutor: structured, goal-oriented, and flexible in his approach. His lessons are consistently engaging and carefully tailored to my learning needs. With his patient and supportive guidance, I passed my first German exam with almost perfect marks. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking reliable progress and an enjoyable learning experience.
