What Others Are Saying
Barbara is an enthusiastic and exceptionally competent instructor. Very quickly she identified my gaps in my language skills and came up with a plan how to fill the gaps. She was not only helping me in improving my reading and listening abilities, but more importantly my speaking abilities. With her empathetic approach and her tutoring plan I could produce marked improvement from the first session on. I had great fun learning under her guidance. She always made me feel confident in my speaking and I didn't feel embarrassed or shy. I highly recommend Barbara as a tutor for anyone wishing to improve their German.

Barbara makes the most out of every minute she teaches. She assigns lessons for homework and in the one-on-one sessions we can focus on speaking and grammar and any gaps there are to fill. She uses conversations, roleplays and anything that helps to bring the language to life. She is very motivating and helps me to get over my fear of speaking. I am way more confident now in speaking German, even on my low level, than ever before.
She is the most effective and supportive teacher I ever had. She is great fun too.

Barbara gave me exactly the kind of advanced German instruction I needed for my work with senior executives and professionals coming from Germany to work in the United States. She tailored our lessons to my specific needs, including engineering, energy, and financial terminology, while also giving me simple, useful techniques for improving my grammar.
Her teaching style is lively, and I found every lesson valuable. I speak several languages and have worked with many language teachers over the years. Barbara is by far the best language teacher I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Family Camp
A playful German experience for children and their families
Maybe you grew up speaking German and you want your children to start speaking German as well. German is easier to love when it feels alive, playful, and connected to real life.
We use the vacation time to start speaking German, parents and children together - 3 hours a day, in the morning. There is plenty of time to enjoy the vacation the rest of the day - maybe while singing German songs or talking German at dinner table.
Family Camp helps children and their parents experience German through songs, stories, simple phrases, culture, and fun activities.
Best for you if:
You want your children and your family to build a joyful connection with German in a natural, low-pressure way.
15 hours a week, Monday through Friday, 3 hours a day

Whether you’re starting from scratch, rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with your roots, or exploring German for your family, you’ll leave with more clarity about the path forward.
