Teachers

Qualified native speakers

Our teachers are native speakers with academic qualifications and many years of experience in adult education. Some also bring specialist vocabulary from fields such as business and tourism.

Many are additionally qualified for integration courses, professional language courses and German as a foreign language exams.

Before the course starts, we offer personal advice and placement. During the course, teachers and academic management keep an eye on learning progress.

Method

How we teach

From the beginning, the target language is used in class. Speaking and practical use are central.

Communicative approach in a language course

Communicative approach

The foreign language is the classroom language. The focus is on speaking and using new language in realistic everyday situations.

Course books and teaching materials

Varied materials

Course books, worksheets, audio and video material and training apps complement the lessons and support flexible learning.

Four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing

Four language skills

Reading, listening, speaking, writing and grammar are connected so that progress becomes usable in real communication.

Groups

Learning in small groups

To create a personal and efficient learning atmosphere, our language courses usually have only 3 to 8 participants.

We also offer private lessons and 2-to-1 lessons for learners who want a more intensive course or very specific content.
