Silke Streit

I would highly recommend Silke. She takes you through all the information step by step and is very methodical about it and great at explaining things when they are difficult. She also corrects every mistake or mispronunciation and gives you ways to improve which is great for learning.

Silke is extremely thorough in her teaching: she stops you at every single tiny mistake, be it oral or written, and I believe this approach is very beneficial to prevent you from carrying bad pronunciation/grammar/etc. habits along with your improvements. She also uses German as language of instruction as early as possible, pushing you out of your comfort zone and encouraging you to speak in German since the very first class. The books she adopts is also well structured and effective for a 1-on-1 lesson (besides of course a few exercises clearly intended for a group class), and it is a good reference for grammar and vocabulary.

Outstanding professional. Silke let's nothing slip. If it's not 100%, she will let you know but in the nicest way possible. No room to form bad habits.

Silke's attention to detail prevents you from forming bad habits. Every lesson is progressive and challenging. I would highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning German.

Silke is a wonderful instructor. Organized, prepared, and flexible. I enjoy our lessons, and I learn a lot. I'm so glad I found her! I could not recommend her more. You will love her, too! Vielen dank, Silke!

Silke is a fantastic teacher. She is very professional, clear and easy to understand, thorough, organised, and punctual. It is a pleasure to work with her. She instills confidence, and I have been complimented on my level of language and my pronunciation when in Germany.
