How Our German Private Lessons Work

Our process is simple, structured, and personalised. From your first assessment to ongoing feedback, every step is designed to help you progress with clarity and confidence.

1 Optional: Initial Assessment

If you are not sure about your current German level, you can start with our short and personalised 6-question AI assessment. It helps estimate your approximate CEFR level, from A1 to C2. If you already know your level, skip this step.

Click one of the buttons on this page, or scroll down to the inquiry form. Fill it out, and a Student Success Manager will call you within 24h (on work days). They will answer your questions, discuss your needs, and explain the next steps. We look forward to hearing from you.

Together with your teacher, you define realistic and motivating goals based on your needs, timeline, and reasons for learning German.

Your teacher creates a learning plan tailored to your level, schedule, and learning style, so every lesson has a clear purpose. You, your schedule and your pace are at the center of the German lessons.

You receive regular feedback, practical guidance, and targeted adjustments to ensure you keep improving in the right direction. You can book all your lessons in advance, for example if your company is paying, or choose a smaller package and decide later whether you would like to continue by booking another one. We are happy to adapt to your needs.

Stuck at B1 for ages. My teacher spotted straight away that I was avoiding certain structures, and just made me use them until they felt normal. Six months later I'm at B2 and running client meetings in German.

I needed the fide certification for my professional registration in Lucerne. Lessons were built around the exact situations I'd face, patient consultations, explaining procedures, handling admin. Passed, and I actually use what I learned every day in the clinic.
Anjali Kapoor

Stuck at A2 for over a year with self-study. Two months of private lessons and I felt completely unblocked. My teacher identified the gaps, gave me targeted exercises, and made each lesson feel like it was built just for me, because it was.

Telc B2 prep while working full-time in Zurich. Mock exams every two weeks, honest feedback, no time wasted on stuff I already knew. Passed first try.

Shift work makes group courses impossible. Being able to book lessons around my rota, sometimes mornings, sometimes late afternoons was the only way this was ever going to work. My teacher was patient, highly qualified, and genuinely understood the medical vocabulary I needed for work. I reached B2 and now handle patient conversations in German without switching to English.

Night and day compared to the apps and group course I'd tried before. My teacher picked up on the exact grammar points I kept getting wrong and drilled them until they stuck. Early morning lessons before work, flexible when my calendar shifted. Hesitant A2 to comfortable B1 in about seven months.

I travel constantly and assumed learning German properly was off the table. My teacher made it work, lessons from hotel rooms, rescheduling on short notice, a plan that kept moving me forward even in busy weeks. Near-zero to comfortable A2 in five months.

Excellent Goethe B2 prep. My teacher knew the format inside out, what examiners look for, where people lose points, how to structure the written tasks. The real exam felt almost easier than her mocks, which is exactly what you want.
Chiara Ferrari

Clinical Research Associate, Basel
I needed to prepare for the telc B1 exam for my C permit application and had only three months. My teacher built a focused plan from day one, no filler, just what I actually needed. We did full mock exams under real conditions, and she gave me precise feedback on my writing and speaking each week. Passed on the first attempt with a solid margin. Worth every franc.

First session, my teacher asked about my job, my weekends, my goals. Next lesson was already built around vocabulary I'd actually use.
Diego Herrera

Sceptical at first that private lessons were worth the price. After three sessions I understood. My teacher corrects things no group teacher has time for, pronunciation habits, word order, the 'werden' vs 'wollen' thing. Finally speaking German with Swiss colleagues without panicking.
Ingrid Janssen

Moved to Switzerland for work and needed B1 by a clear deadline. My teacher was professional, structured, never wasted a minute. Lessons online after work, homework that was actually useful, steady feedback. Reached B1 three weeks early.

Twice a week around my trading hours, no group course could offer that. Got to B1 faster than I thought possible.

Our German private lessons are designed specifically for adults who want real progress they can use in daily life and work. Each lesson is fully personalised to your level, goals, and schedule, so you never waste time on irrelevant content.

You learn with carefully selected, highly qualified teachers who not only have strong expertise but also know how to connect with adult learners. Lessons are practical, focused, and built around real-life communication, helping you gain confidence step by step.

You can schedule your German lessons flexibly around your availability. Together with your teacher, you choose times that fit your work, family, and routine.

There are no fixed course schedules. Your lessons adapt to your calendar, not the other way around.

We aim to keep everything as flexible and stress-free as possible. In general, lessons can be rescheduled easily if you inform your teacher in advance.

To keep scheduling fair and reliable for both you and your teacher, we kindly ask that lessons are cancelled at least 24 hours in advance. For cancellations made with less notice, the lesson is usually charged.

Finding the right teacher is essential and we take that very seriously.

If you feel the match isn’t right, we can recommend and organise a change of teacher to ensure you get the best possible learning experience. Your progress and comfort always come first.

  • More intensive: 3–5 lessons per week if you want faster results (e.g. for a new job or exam)

Yes, but we would recommend you to take one of our German courses as we see very good results with this approach for the beginner levels.
