Marianne

Marianne is a wonderful and experienced teacher. She has, of course, a lot of knowledge about the German (and Dutch) language, but is also interested in many other subjects, making the lessons more than just learning German. She is patient and does not seem to get tired of repeatedly made mistakes. She just explains one more time. This is a perfect way to improve my speaking skills.

Marianne is an amazing teacher. I have learned so much more in the last few months than the entire year I have been using Duolingo. She really helps you to understand the grammar, because without it, you have no hope of actually speaking German. She is always patient with me as I learn new concepts with the case system and everything. I definitely recommend her as your German teacher because she will teach you right the first time and make it as understandable as it can possibly be.

I have now been learning German with Marianne for two months and have found her lessons great and very helpful. I knew the grammar basics already however I was finding it very difficult to actively use the language. In our lessons we mostly talk and Marianne writes down what I say, how I said it, and corrects me, giving me alternative ways of expressing the same idea or explaining nuances in meaning. Also, we go through exercises tailored to my needs. All happens in a very relaxed setting. It's always fun to talk with Marianne as her culture, life experience and curiosity let's her connect with you and talk about many different subjects.

The lessons are excellent. Marianne is very patient and helpful. She did a great job of adapting the difficulty of the lesson to my German level, which meant that it was fun and that I learned a lot.

Marianne's teaching style suits me perfectly: she explains clearly, asks a lot of questions so that I can speak, and gives sufficient and accurate feedback. Vielen dank!

I've had the pleasure of taking Marianne's "Konversationskurs" in German for the last three months now. Whilst I already had a fairly strong grammatical knowledge of the language, she has in such a short span of time completely transformed my confidence and ability to converse fluently in German. Her attention to detail, and collaborative and patient approach, makes one feel totally comfortable in class and motivated to continue learning. Danke dir, Marianne!
