Learning German with us: our teaching methods
We have a lot of experience and we offer excellent quality tuition. As we understand the importance of choosing the right course, therefore we use an accurate and suitable assessment-test before you start a course in accordance with an acknowledged system, the European Reference Frame. We use weekly tests to establish progress and when necessary to highlight areas of weakness. After each course level students sit a final test. At the end of the course the students get a certificate with the final test results.

We are of the opinion that the German language consists of more than just vocabulary and grammar. Our balanced mixture between conversation, listening comprehension, grammar, writing and reading on the one hand and communicative games, films and German newspapers on the other hand guarantee effective learning in a relaxed and friendly environment.
Motivation through committed teachers
In our international classes we only speak German. Our experienced and motivated teachers [many of whom have been working with us for many years] ensure everyone speaks in the classes. During group work and dialogue exercises everyone gets a chance to speak. All of our teachers are native german teachers, have relevant university degrees and several years of experience.
Homework and learning techniques
From level A2 we include text reproductions to train listening comprehension and free/creative writing. Homework is also an important part and learning techniques are always an important topic in the lessons. German is also spoken during the breaks. While having tea or coffee there is time to get to know your classmates and everything just learned in the lesson can be practised immediately.
Our experience has shown there to be many very important factors when learning a foreign language.
Therefore we combine various methods to cater for the different types of learners. We combine communicative teaching models with the respective grammar [German is a very systematic language and therefore not as difficult as many believe] – Structures are important to speak well and correctly.
