Kristina did an exceptional job in helping my son with his German studies. In less than 45 days, she covered the entire German 1 syllabus with him, and he successfully passed. She went above and beyond by creating audio files for him to practice listening comprehension, administering tests, and always coming to sessions fully prepared. I’m extremely satisfied with her dedication and effectiveness. I will definitely recommend her and plan to continue working with her, especially as my son is now interested in taking the German Level 1 - A1 certification.
Kristina has been wonderful so far with her style of teaching. Her lessons are affordable and I feel like I’m moving through German fast because she makes sure to cover fundamental concepts in a way that’s both engaging and fun. She’s very patient and understanding if I’m struggling with a concept or vocabulary and assigns homework that challenges me and lets me explore new vocabulary on my own. I’ve really enjoyed having her as a teacher and would recommend her to others just starting to learn German or any other language she offers.
I have taken two German lessons with Kristina so far and I am impressed. I enjoyed my first lesson so much that I attended the second lesson even though I was feeling sick. In this short time, I already noticed Kristina is a skilled instructor with years of experience. She has been gauging my level since I haven't spoken my beginner level German in over a decade and has structured her lessons in a way that isn't too easy, yet difficult enough that I am challenged and learning many new things. I look forward to learning more from her so that I can someday surprise my German friends with decent fluency. ;)
Working with Kristina has been wonderful! She is patient and kind, which makes re-learning French more enjoyable. The homework she assigns is the perfect amount, and she even recommends great additional French content when I ask. She is also really flexible with my schedule, which is helpful because it changes so much. 5/5 I would recommend!
Kristina is great! She’s teaching my daughter German so that she can attend college in a German speaking county and my daughter is absolutely thrilled with her lessons. I highly recommend Kristina!!
Very punctual professional and understands what you exactly need
Kristina is an excellent French teacher! Her knowledge, patience, and encouragement make her classes truly exceptional. As a beginner, I've gained confidence in speaking French through her guidance. Furthermore, Kristina is deeply passionate about the language and incorporates French culture and songs into her lessons. I've been studying with her for two months now, and every lesson has been well-organized and enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Kristina as a French teacher for anyone looking to improve their language skills.
Kristina makes learning French fun. I appreciate her making conversation with me in French everytime we speak. Even if I can’t respond in French or I don’t fully understand her, it makes me more accustomed to hearing French I’m conversation. This is useful because in movies or videos usually people talk too fast for me to even catch a word or two. But with Kristina I can clearly understand her words. She also adds her personal touch to lessons with songs or web series translated in French so you can tie the dialogs you know in English, back to French
Kristina responded fast to my initial inquiry, had a fair terms of agreement, flexible scheduling, is on time to every single lesson, and is very thorough. Though she has students, I felt like I was the only one. The pacing is perfect, the extra resources are helpful, and she’s very patient and genuinely caring. I’d choose her again and again and again.
Kristina is a wonderful teacher! She is kind, explains the fundamentals of the French language and pronunciation and goes through each lesson with care. I definitely recommend her!
After 3 lessons, I'm very happy. After being at a plateau, I've never been more optimistic about effectively increasing my German language skill level. She ensures that the basic grammar is understood, points out tricky parts, and is flexible to explore more challenging material so learning does not get boring. My impression is that she is paying attention to creating the right balance for the individual student but requires commitment to the agreed study plan. I hope to report positive results within 6 months.
Tried to charge me for missing the initial consultation. I never signed a contract or received detailed terms of service. Due to a medical emergency I was unable to attend the consultation and received several nasty messages and texts demanding payment and stating that she filed a complaint. I suggest updating your policies so people understand that your consultation is a paid service and in the future giving people more than a few hours to respond to you as there are a lot of illnesses running rampant since covid.
Kristina was a fabulous tutor for my neurodiverse teen in German! She tailored the lessons to what my kid responded to and the way she learns. Kristina was flexible and friendly and always was on time and delivered as promised. The materials for study were appropriate and high quality. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Kristina!
It has been a pleasure taking German lessons with Kristina! She has taken the time to assess my current level and ability and has customized lessons that work best for me and my learning style. I highly recommend choosing Kristina for your language learning needs!
I have enjoyed working with Kristina. She is very patient and tailors her lessons according to the student's interests and needs. She also draws from a variety of sources to give a well-rounded lesson. I highly recommend her.
Kristina is an excellent Deutschlehrerin. Her teaching methods are very effective. Learning German can be difficult at times but Kristina’s teaching method makes for a very positive and enjoyable learning experience. I highly recommend Kristina for any / all levels of german language instruction.
