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.

Marianne is a really knowledgeable teacher, with a lot of experience and great materials. The fact that she speaks a range of different languages also makes her able to draw good comparisons that bring light to some complex scenarios. I enjoy the fact that the classes are structured with a book and the homework is tailored to you, which makes the learning process a more complete and logical journey. To top all of this, Marianne is super friendly and a pleasure to talk to, even more, because of all the culture that she has :) I would definitely recommend her classes!
