I enjoyed working with her from the very beginning. We jump ed right into the work and started practicing German and tailoring towards specific goals and ambitions. I look forward to booking more classes with her.

Salome is an outstanding Teacher who took me from ZERO German to B2 in 9 months!! My first lesson was in July 2021, and I passed the Goethe B2 exam in April 2022. I did 73 lessons within. We started from “Guten Tag” … and now we can talk about environmental problems only in German😂. Salome is very articulate when teaching. Her experience of living in many countries and her wide interests make her super fun to talk to, and will keep you motivated. You will never find someone like her in an ordinary language school. Whatever level you are at, you will have a great time with her! Try her out!

I really like that we work on one thing at a time until I understand. Foundation is everything and with these lessons I am building a great one.

I am very happy to be learning with Salome. I was finding speaking to be very difficult but she is patient and understanding and gives appropriate feedback all the time. In just a few weeks, I am not worried about trying to speak or making mistakes and I find that my progress is a lot faster than I thought it would be.

I really like how controlled and powerful the lessons are for building on what we covered last time with a clear idea of where we are going and what we intend to accomplish next time

I had an incredible lesson and very thankful for being able to bring complex ideas to class and then work through them bringing the lesson back to simple structure grammar and vocabulary to identify areas that I need to work on. I look forward to what I can bring and how far I can advance before our next lesson.
