I would like to say a big thank Katja! Each lesson is very interesting and whole of new wording sets. You are atrating to lern your german as a beginner and after 5-7 lessons with Katja you feell that you are not a begginer any more and can speak and have an understanding of german in more professional level. The inspiration of learning is alose a part of the lessons as well!

I have studied German with Katja for months, preparing for a B2 level Goethe-Institut exam. Her knowledge of German is excellent and my knowledge of German has noticeably improved as a result. The lesson materials and support are always helpful between lessons (in my case for exam-style questions). I absolutely recommend Katja for those looking to improve their German, and especially for exam preparation. Vielen Dank!

I have been working with Katja for approx. 6 months and she is excellent. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable about the languages she teaches, she is kind, patient and makes you feel comfortable to make mistakes (which you need to do to learn!!)
Most importantly, we have great fun every lesson and we're both always laughing and learning something new.
