Language Instruction

Efficient & Effective.

Our personalized one-on-one tutoring concept focuses on the individual learning goal and is aimed for a maximum learning success in the shortest possible time. Provided outside the typical 'classroom' setting, the courses/lessons are perfectly tailored to the requirements of adults, high-school, and college students. In theory and in practice, individual tutoring has always played the central role in professional language instruction.
The language lessons and programs are taught by an experienced and highly trained instructor who holds a Master's Degree -M.Ed.- in Foreign Language, for German and English.

Proficiency Level

In order to determine the kinds of tasks a language speaker is able to perform, or to compare the abilities of different speakers, proficiency scales have been developed. The language proficiency scale has 4 main levels - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Superior. The first three levels are each subdivided into 3 sub-levels - Low, Mid and High. These scales provide a 'profile' of a student at a number of levels, encompassing discreet areas of expertise such as fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar.

▪ TestDaF - German as a foreign language test ▪ DSH - German language test for admission to university for international applicants ▪ GRI-SAT Preparation ▪ TOFEL Preparation.
