Very accessible entry level introduction into German, and Erika was able to adjust the pace of the lessons after finding out that I had previously taken some lessons elsewhere. Vielen Dank!

The pronunciation of umlauts are difficult to master, but Erica was able to find homophonics from Mandarin and Cantonese to help me better remember them. Danke für die Kreativität!

The lesson was truly engaging and exceeded my expectations. The teacher spoke clearly at a level I could easily understand, which made the learning experience smooth and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the use of storytelling and role playing, which brought real-life context into the lesson and made it much easier to remember new vocabulary and expressions.
The teacher also used high-quality teaching materials and reviewed them thoroughly, which gave me confidence in my learning progress. Everything was well-structured and organized, and I could tell that the teacher had a thoughtful plan behind each lesson. I highly recommend this teacher to anyone looking for interactive, effective, and personalized lessons!
