Although I usually feel a bit anxious about speaking German in front of people, Ann made me feel completely comfortable and encouraged me to speak. I also really appreciated her feedback. Plus, she is very flexible and always open to accommodating special requests or wishes for the class 🧡

I cannot recommend Ann D. highly enough! Every lesson is thoughtfully prepared, engaging, fun, and productive. I like that the lesson time can be very structured or very relaxed depending on the learning goal, and I appreciate how flexible Ann always is when it comes to impromptu changes for whatever material we are working on. I have never been bored with a lesson and always feel like I have my own world-class private tutor. Ann is extremely supportive and patient, and her devotion to teaching the language is evident from the very first lesson, and never diminishes. (I've done over 100 lessons with her, so I know!) Ann is an absolute force that you'll want on your side as you are learning German.

Jede Woche wähle ich einen Artikel aus, den wir als Thema für ein Gespräch nutzen. Ann ist immer sehr ermutigend und hilfreich beim freien Sprechen und nach ein paar Wochen habe ich schon gemerkt, dass ich Fortschritte gemacht habe.

I find lessons with Ann very enjoyable and I always learn something to try and improve my German. We review and discuss texts, but also have a conversation about what I have been doing, the weather and other topics. Ann sets me homework, which I send her before my next lesson. We go through this in the lesson to correct my mistakes and understand why I have made the error. Ann is herself learning a new language and so has insight into how challenging learning and using a new language can be. I am very happy to recommend Ann to anyone wishing to learn and/or improve their German.

Ich habe meine Gespräche mit Ann sehr genossen. Fließend Deutsch zu sprechen, fällt mir sehr schwer, aber seit ich Unterricht bei Ann nehme, fällt es mir leichter und ich fühle mich sicherer. Vor allem aber sind die Treffen sehr entspannt und völlig stressfrei.

Le cours d'essai m'a vraiment donné envie de prendre des cours avec Ann. Très bonne professeure, patiente et encourageante.
