"Learning with Susanne made learning German a lot more enjoyable and quicker than other German courses I have since undertaken since moving to Germany. Susanne ensures that she explains things in a manner which is easy to understand, which I’ve found is very important for German. I only spent around 2 months with Susanne before moving to Germany, but in that time learnt a lot, which has really helped me since arriving. I would definitely recommend Susanne to anyone looking to learn a language, no matter what level they are at."

"I have been wanting to learn German for years, but have always been put off by the thought of an intimidating bearded German teacher berating me in front of a group of people.

Private German lessons were my answer, and a teacher who is young and incredibly considerate. Susanne teaches a conversational German that does not feel antiquated - whilst she is strict about grammar it does not feel like you will come out of her lessons speaking a stilted essay-like German, but rather a German of the now. She is open minded, accommodating and fun to learn with.

Language classes in the past I may have dreaded, but I have been learning with her for four months now and I look forward to every lesson. She manages to keep to the speed of your learning ability, yet also teach you new things, in a way that easily breaks down German and doesn't make it seem an insurmountable task. I would recommend her for anyone who doesn't want to learn German in a stale way, but instead enjoy the entire experience of learning German."

"I started learning German with Susanne after traveling between Germany and Australia with a very basic few words and passion for language learning. Susanne, helped me so much with the practical side of learning German as well as the confidence and practice to be able to speak and express myself in a new language.

I had previously been to a few short uni courses and other private teachers in Sydney but found that Susanne has such a great understanding and way of explaining things to me that made sense allowed me to learn German in a relaxed, fun environment... she even made all the difficult grammar and structure of the language not so daunting and overwhelming like I'd experienced with previous teachers.

Susanne's teaching skills, grasp of the language and pronunciation, being a native German speaker, combined with her first-hand insight into the culture, country and history behind the language and it's people and also being able to explain detailed things in English was such an amazing help and made learning the language such a wonderful and enriching experience.

I'm living in Germany now and I know I will never stop learning about this fantastic language and culture and I really have Susanne to thank for setting me on the right path from the beginning."

"I have attended German Courses run by Susanne for several years at the Sydney university CCE. Susanne combines the prescribed material with material from cultural and topical sources to present an entertaining and engaging course. Her style is encouraging and she challenges her students. As a complete beginner to the German language, I have gained a working knowledge of the spoken and written tongue."
