Ruth

Another excellent lesson, in which Ruth encouraged me to talk and listen in German. She shared a couple of video clips and we talked about these. She gently corrects my grammar and explains the meanings of new words now in German, which helps me understand. We resort to English less and less. I use various resources to help me learn German and Ruth's lessons are an enjoyable and productive way to help bring it all together.

Another excellent conversational lesson. Never thought I would be discussing modern slavery in a German Lesson. Lots of new words to learn. Ruth's lessons are never, ever dull!

Ruth is a consummate teacher. Very articulate and most engaging—a true pedagogue.

Ruth is very adaptable and patient. She gives excellent feedback.

She creates an atmosphere of ease throughout the learning session. My vocabulary has improved tenfold without any associated anxiety in learning. In other words, she makes it fun to learn, and has given me the tools to have meaningful conversations in German; that's a great gift to share.

My lessons with Ruth compliment perfectly the other resources that I am using to learn German. The listening exercises that she asks me to do and the questions that she asks after watching a video get me talking. Understanding spoken German and speaking it are the areas of learning the language with which I was least comfortable. Now by having regular lessons with Ruth, I feel much more confident. As a self-motivated adult learner, I do not need a teacher to make me work through an online or book based language course.
