Manuel

I had 2 weeks to prepare to do the SDS exam aiming at an A2. I booked daily preparation classes with Manuel during those 2 weeks. After 2-3 classes I immediately felt I had progressed heavily. Manuel has a very good technique, is very efficient, engaged and always comes prepared and provides excellent materials via different online platforms. I have now done the exam and received my results. I obtained an A2 in the listening and speaking section and a B1 in the writing and reading comprehension. These results are even better than I expected! I would recommend anyone preparing for the SDS exam to book classes with Manuel.

Excellent interview perpetration lesson. Manuel took the time to review my CV and write personal questions as well as go though a list of frequent and difficult questions. Manuel covered not only the German language aspect of the interview, but also mindset and approach. Very much a coach as well as a teacher. Shortly after the lesson I received a word document with all of the questions we went through and also feedback from the lesson. I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of the lesson. Highly recommended.

Manuel knows of a lot of good techniques and resources for learning German and for improving pronunciation. I benefitted a lot today from practicing my interview questions and answers in German. Again, today, my confidence has increased, and I feel myself making progress. During the sessions, I learn and train skills, then I practice what I've learned in my free time. This approach is working well.

Manuel is a truly outstanding tutor: knowledgeable, prepared and professional. What I appreciate the most, however, is his compassionate approach. Manuel always seems to know when I need correction, when encouragement, when reassurance. In my experience, that's a rare gift! I can't recommend him enough.

Really good pace, it is clear Manuel cares a lot.

I demonstrated German conversation skills during this lesson which, at the beginning of the lesson, I didn't think I could do. Manuel's approach to the lesson is very effective and he used the time well so that I learned a lot during the session. I feel that I am making good progress. I gained more confidence in my German language skills because of this session.
