With her help, I successfully progressed from A2 to B2 on the Goethe exams—something I'm 100% sure I couldn’t have done without her guidance. She tailored her teaching to my specific needs, ensuring I improved efficiently and effectively. Her patience and attention to detail were invaluable, especially in correcting my bad habits and reinforcing proper language use. If you're looking for a dedicated and skilled teacher, I can't recommend her enough!

I tried multiple different german schools, and none of them come close to a customised learning experience Andrea is able to provide. Thanks so much!

Andrea was super accommodating, patient and understanding of my personal goals in learning German and kept me focussed on the goal. She is super flexible and adapted to my learning style. I always have fun in our lessons and always kept my confidence high even when I lacked it myself. With her help I was able to achieve my B1 TELC German! Thank you Andrea!

She was really the type of teacher I needed as I tend to be shy and perfectionistic, so find it difficult to cross the barrier between learning a language and starting to sail through the mistakes and just lead a conversation. I worked with her on my Goethe Zertifikat B1 and passed it with an unbelievably high score, while hugely enjoying the preparation process. Highly recommend! Looking forward to the next lessons and levels.

Her kind and patient strategies supported my learning while at the same time challenging me to progress further and faster than I though possible. She provided me with excellent resources and I found her grading and feedback of my practice tests extremely helpful. If you are thinking about hiring a private tutor, Andrea is the best, you’ll be thankful for your decision!

Her professionalism, effectiveness, attention, and empathy have been instrumental to my breakthrough, progress and success in mastering the language. Our speaking sessions are something I look forward to every week, because on the other end is always a Deutschlehrerin who is knowledgeable, kind, patient, honest and understanding of my struggles. Under Andrea's coaching, I was able to consecutively obtain the Goethe's B1, B2, and C1 certificates, all within one short year. With her help and encouragement, I also saw improvements, not only in my confidence to speak, but also, and perhaps more importantly, in the courage to pause and think. I therefore wholeheartedly recommend Andrea's service to anyone striving for fluency in the German language.

Her method encourages you to make mistakes and just speak, speak, speak, which I have found excellent. It's also very engaging and fun, we speak about all kinds of subjects :), from trips to the Alps to freedom of speech. I look forward to our classes every week and my German has been improving a lot with her, I can highly recommend!!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrea was an excellent and encouraging language coach. She was punctual to our meetings and always communicated meeting times with generous advance notice. Her teaching materials were really helpful and tailored to my personal needs. Not only did I pass my B1 exam -- I got 100 percent on several sections! A total of 94% overall. She also advised me on difficult situations I was facing at work due to the language, and helped me come up with a dialogue to address miscommunications. She's awesome, honest and a great tutor. Hire her!!

She adapted to my level and to my needs perfectly, and helped me to build both knowledge and confidence. With Andrea's help, I managed to get in 8 months from "I can barely say anything in German" to passing a B2 exam. I'm looking forward to continue learning with Andrea in the future!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recommend Andrea to anyone who is looking to learn German or is preparing for a German exam. I have just passed a Goethe B1 exam with really good grades (including 99/100 in the speaking section) and am so grateful to Andrea for her help in preparing me for the exam. I found she really tailored her approach to help me in the areas of German I find particularly challenging, and that her patience and kindness really helped to improve my confidence speaking in German. I can't recommend her highly enough!
