Teachers
Our teachers have studied teaching German to foreign learners. This ensures that students acquire the language without an accent, authentically and professionally. For special education requests (e.g. Technical German, exam preparation) only specially trained teachers with appropriate additional qualifications are assigned. Each language trainer at our school also teaches at several other institutions, thus has a lot of teaching experience and is experienced in dealing with various didactic concepts. We place great emphasis on diversity, which is why teachers of all ages and walks of life work with us.
