I had a trial lesson. She was very willing to set the day and time. I liked her a lot because I immediately found myself at ease talking in German with her. It also immediately entered into the merits of the study, we defined together what the study plan would be and how to structure the lessons (grammar and conversation). Very professional, knowledgeable and knowledgeable
