I recently had a trial lesson with Teacher Melissa and I was truly impressed! She is a fantastic German teacher — patient, encouraging, and very well-prepared. From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable speaking, and she tailored the lesson perfectly to my level and goals. Her explanations were clear, and she gave helpful feedback throughout the session. I’m really looking forward to continuing lessons with her. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to improve their German in a supportive and professional environment!

The lesson with Melissa was amazing! It was exactly what I was hoping for! She taught me how to have daily conversations and repeated things as often as necessary. It´s incredible how much I learnd in this short time.
I am very motivated and I am looking forward to the next lessons! Thank you so much Melissa, I am very happy that I finally found a German teacher like you!
