Reuben

Fantastic! Reuben is everything instructor should be with a subject as complicated as German. After wasting a semester in a regular Uni course and spending much of the time confused and frustrated, he's managed in a few sessions to make all of the past tenses understandable and even fun (!). He uses a lot of mnemonic tricks to make the ideas and rule memorable. Patient, funny. I enjoy every session

Reuben is a very nice teacher and also easy to talk to. His lesson is always interesting and attractive. He is my recommendation to English learners as well as German learners. I was lucky to find an excellent teacher like you on italki, Reuben. I'm grateful that you have taught me since this April. I wish you will continue to teach me next year. I realised that you really liked learning languages when you talked about something you wished in the lesson today. That is one of the reasons I respect you. If only I had brilliant talent for acquiring foreign languages as you do. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. I wish you a very happy new year!! See you next year!

Wunderbar! Ich freue mich sehr, wieder mit Ihnen zu sprechen. Vielen Dank. Bis Montag!

Perfect lessons are interesting, engaging and productive, they have to have the right depth, and preferably be entertaining as well as educational, and Reuben consistently and easily delivers on all counts.

Great! I am happy to talk to you. Thank you very much. See you soon!

It was an even greater pleasure than the last class, thank you Reuben!
