Simona is a wonderful teacher! She provides plenty of constructive feedback as I work through the grammar, as well as when I practice speaking. She also tailors each lesson based on my specific needs and interests, which has been incredibly helpful as I continue to build my vocabulary. I look forward to the next lesson! Danke!

Der Unterricht bei Simona ist sehr interessant und spontan. Ich lerne Vokabeln durch Gespräche zu verschiedenen Themen.

I look forward to my conversation lessons with Simona. Our sessions are well-structured and cover a wide variety of interesting and relevant topics - in the past few weeks, we've talked about art, climbing, Stonehenge, immigration and nuclear waste. She is a patient and energetic conversation partner, and corrects my grammatical and lexical mistakes with clear explanations.

Again a great lesson. We followed some of my Swiss German book. She explained some differences, gave some examples, corrected my mistakes . She really is a good teacher.

Lessons with Simona are always great, she always shows up prepared and takes account of your goals and wishes, provides lots of material... And she is very talented at keeping the conversation flowing with interesting questions! I would recommend her classes for everyone :)

It was a great lesson. I talked most of the time. She corrects me when necessary and writes down the mistakes. She is a very good and friendly teacher.
