I am very happy to have Erkatarina as an English teacher. Lessons are well prepared. She suggests conversations and then listens carefully to me. She asks me to repeat what I couldn't clearly explain in my own words and then corrects myself. I can only recommend Erkatarina. Sincerely, Barbara Vandree

We have started an excellent series of comprehension exercises which have been really interesting and included a range of different topics which have expanded my knowledge of German. My teacher mixes things up and encourages me to speak as much as possible and this is something that I find quite inspiring and driving my improvement.
