"Deutsch in Freiburg" is a fantastic school. I have been an online student for several years, and for the past two years I have also attended an intensive two-week one-to-one course each Spring.

While I can highly recommend the online tutoring, the in-person courses are truly something special. Before each course began, Barbara and I worked together on my goals: primarily improving my speaking, comprehension and, importantly, my confidence. I had three different instructors, which kept the conversations and lessons fresh and varied. The lessons struck a perfect balance between classroom work and speaking German out in the world with my instructors. The homework assignments were creative and enjoyable; for example, I went to a film and then summarised the plot the next day.

Freiburg itself is a lovely city with lots to do and see, which made both the time spent with my instructors and the time on my own especially interesting. As last year (at Barbar’s recommendation), I rented a room in an apartment near the school. My host was very happy to speak German with me as were most people in Freiburg. I’m already looking forward to next year.

German in Freiburg is a true gem of a program. I’ve studied German in many school and private settings, none were even close to this effective. The tailor made one-on-one lessons manage to be both demanding and fun at the same time. With great pedagogical insight Barbara and her team target exactly those skills you most want to develop. Classroom time is paced just right, pushing you enough to make rapid progress but with support and encouragement every step of the way. In addition to the talented instructors what distinguished this program from all the others I have taken is how tightly it integrated in-class meetings with real-world activities. We would read a newspaper article about a new farm cooperative and then walk over and tour it. We would take the 15 minute tram to the gorgeous old town, tour museums, and have lunch at a traditional restaurant—speaking German the entire time, of course. Homework would include seeing a German art film or play and writing a review. If you’re fortunate enough to enroll, consider staying in Vauban. This cute Freiburg suburb allows you to have a 2 minute walking commute to class, five minute walk to great hiking, and 15 minute direct tram ride to downtown Freiburg. Regardless of your level, the combination of such an idyllic setting and such effective language instruction simply can’t be beat.
Michael Penn, Professor Stanford University, USA. Level of German: C1. Michael has been coming to Freiburg for 3 weeks most years since 2018. At times he also attends short courses at German Tuition London whilst doing some research at the British Library.

I found this course to be absolutely perfect for learning German, not just German for exams and degrees but also to actually learn how to speak colloquially. Stimulating and enjoyable, the course is taylor made for your interests and areas you wish to develop in speaking German, an excellent opportunity to experience Germany fully whilst interacting with native speakers.
Seamus Mulready, Abiturient. Deutschkenntnisse: Mittelstufe/Fortgeschritten: Seamus kam ein paar Wochen vor seinem mündlichen Abitur und hat eine sehr gute Note bekommen.

The city’s special location, Switzerland and France at 1 hour distance and then, the Black Forest (...)makes Freiburg an irresistible paradise (…)I found the set up of the lessons wonderful(…)I particularly found rewarding the ‘home work’ i.e. ‘ please, this afternoon, go to shop ‘so and so’ and find out how much it cost to buy curtains: the measurements, the delivery and installation (…)I would like to pay special homage to the family that welcomed me so warmly. I enjoyed breakfast time with that family. Time to get together, I loved it (…)
Jone Arrizabalaga, Marketing Coordinator. Deutschkenntnisse: Anfängerin mit Vorkenntnissen: Jone kam nach nur einem Anfängerkurs bei German Tuition, London. Jones machte ernorme Fortschritte in nur einer Woche. Es war erstaunlich zu beoachten, wie ihre Verstehensfähigkeit und ihr Mut zu sprechen täglich wuchs.

Thanks for organising the holiday in Freiburg. Everything went very well indeed I thought. It was a particularly valuable opportunity for me to speak and hear German uninterrupted for 5 days. Andrew Jones, Musikdirektor, Holy Trinity Kirche, Stratford-upon-Avon. Deutschkenntnisse. Fortgeschritten. Wir organisierten für Andrew ein auf seine Bedürfnisse abgestimmten Urlaub ohne einen "formellen" Deutschkurs. Er machte eine Fahrradtour, schaute sich Sehenswürudigkeiten an und ging in ein Orgelkonzert in den Freiburger Dom, alles in Begleitung von Christoph Meyer aus unserem Team. Andrew ging auch mit einer Gruppe im Schwarzwald wandern.
