Ivo has been my German teacher for about three years now, and it was the best decision I made for learning German. Ivo is both personable and patient, making conversations stress-free. I never feel insecure or unsure about making mistakes because Ivo turns them into excellent learning opportunities. He is a wonderful conversationalist with whom I’ve had many great discussions. Not only are these conversations natural and engaging, but I also gain a great deal of new vocabulary on everyday topics. He is very well organized with his teaching materials, providing lesson topics, vocabulary to study after sessions, and additional “homework” to keep you practicing until your next lesson. It truly does feel like I am taking a professional course—but a lot more fun! I would recommend Ivo to anyone whether they are just starting their German journey or are already well established in the language. It is absolutely worth every penny.

When I turned up to a traditional in-person group German class yesterday it was at this point I realised just how much progress I had made with Ivo. Students that had attended this class in the A1.1, A1.2, A1.3 and A2.1 classes over a year had not progressed as much as I had with Ivo in 8 weeks. Thanks Ivo!

Ivo is a brillant brilliant teacher! He provides comprehensive learning materials and corrects my grammar and pronunciation mistakes. He also makes the lessons practical and engaging by using real-life, everyday situations. I feel so lucky to learn German from him!

Ivo truly understands how to make language learning both effective and engaging. His teaching style stands out through his ability to create an interactive and supportive learning environment where I feel encouraged to speak and practice the language actively. What makes his lessons particularly valuable is his thoughtful approach to teaching new vocabulary. Rather than simply providing word lists, he creates meaningful contexts and offers multiple examples that help cement new words in memory. Ivo's lessons are consistently fresh and varied, focusing on interesting topics that keep me engaged while building practical language skills. And on top of that he has a great sense of humor. I can only highly recommend Ivo :)

I’ve been taking German lessons with Ivo for six months now, and my German has improved so much! His lessons are always fun, engaging, and informative. Would definitely recommend!

Ivo is an amazing teacher who’s been helping us with spoken German for over a year. His classes are always fun and engaging, and he picks very interesting, real-world topics that make it easy to share our opinions in German. He is patient with our mistakes and knows how to correct them without breaking the conversation flow. When a new word comes up, he provides example sentences so we understand and retain the meaning of the word, rather than just the translation. We've naturally improved our grammar and vocabulary, and we feel much more confident speaking German in our daily lives in Switzerland. We always look forward to our next class and highly recommend studying with Ivo!
