„Katja is a fantastic teacher who is really good at adapting the content of her class to the level and mood of the student. Sometimes attending the class after a rough work day is tough but she understands that and can propose something smooth. She is also very flexible for those having a complicated schedule. My work with her totally match my expectations. “
Sylvain Coutu, France, Head of Innovation Special Lines at Swiss Re

„Katja is a wonderful teacher, she makes the process relaxed and fun. She understands life gets complex and she works with you but also really fairly makes sure you are focused on wanting improvements. She is the best teacher I have ever had and highly recommend her.“
Linda Mayer, Australia, HR Director – Europe, Middle East, Africa and India

„Katja is a great German teacher. She is well prepared for lessons and uses up-to-date teaching material. She finds alternative ways to bring the language alive. I studied with Katja from A2 level and have passed B1 and B2 with her teaching and exam preparation. Katja understands that it is difficult to fit in learning a language around a full work schedule and offers flexibility in the lesson scheduling. I would highly recommend lessons with Katja.“
Emma, Scotland

„I have been taking German classes with Katja for the past few years, and I have seen real progress (from A2 to B2), despite having too little time and never doing my homework. I felt that Katja was very flexible and could adapt the program to my constraints. I really appreciate the fact that I could blend the German classes with my work schedule, and Katja could come at my work place. Overall, I would warmly recommend the German school of Zurich for individual learning. Katja makes learning German a pleasant experience.“
