Geraldine Bielke

Geraldine is a fantastic teacher, very patient, kind, and dedicated to her students! I needed help with understanding Swiss German but practicing to speak in German, and she was super willing to assist with both, always giving me practice for both in every lesson. I also needed specific help with very technical terms in the realm of online banking/customer service, and Geraldine was very thoughtful, bringing different study materials into each lesson including important vocabulary words, real-life examples she found on the internet, sentence examples, and much more. I immensely appreciate her preparation and dedication, you can tell she really cares and wants to help. She is also very enthusiastic and motivational, and ensures that what she is teaching is making sense and sinking in. I couldn't recommend her enough!

Geraldine does an amazing job! She is very friendly and open-minded. She explains everything thoroughly, has a very systematic approach of writing down words and phrases to learn and I can feel progress every class we have. Highly recommended

Let me tell you, folks, Geraldine—incredible teacher, just incredible. She’s rare, she’s special, truly one of a kind. Nobody like her, believe me. Her lessons? They’re tremendous , folks. Absolutely tremendous. The best you’ll ever see. Other teachers? Let’s be honest here—not even close. I’ve seen them, I’ve looked, and trust me, everyone agrees, she’s the best. Phenomenal, and just amazing. Geraldine’s got it all, folks, she’s the real deal! P.s. As the swiss would say : Geraldine isch di bescht Lehrerin, wo ich bis jetzt gha ha!

Geraldine è un’insegnante eccezionale! Rende ogni lezione piacevole e coinvolgente. Al momento ne ho fatte solo 5 con lei, ma credo di aver già imparato tantissimo. Apprezzo in particolare il suo metodo di insegnamento, che trovo perfetto per il mio stile di apprendimento. Il tutto viene spiegato e schematizzato con chiarezza, spesso usando i colori: per me, che ho un approccio visivo allo studio, è l’ideale. A fine lezione rivediamo quanto appena imparato, così da fissare subito vocaboli ed espressioni nuove! Credo sia una metodologia davvero efficace. Posso inoltre confermare che Geraldine è perfetta anche per chi parte da zero: io sono un livello A1, ma riusciamo tranquillamente a comunicare in inglese, e lei è sempre molto paziente. Se vede che qualcosa non è chiaro, rallenta e si assicura che io abbia capito prima di proseguire. Consigliatissima a chiunque voglia imparare il tedesco o lo svizzero tedesco in modo piacevole ma davvero produttivo! E soprattutto senza stress :)

Geraldine had a practical approach to language learning and explaining grammar concepts during our first lesson. I could tell she has experience and is methodical when it comes to teaching and creating lesson plans. She helps the student use the grammar they just learned by asking for example sentences and she is an encouraging teacher. I also appreciated she shared Swiss German phrases with me, as I requested.
