German Language
Classes
Our experienced, highly qualified teachers teach in a small group environment (class size 8 to 14 students) to ensure individual attention and to make the most of your ability and potential. Our teachers are either native speakers, or have lived and worked for several years in the German-speaking regions of Europe. They have extensive training and experience in both teaching German as a second language, and conveying the cultures of German-speaking societies in Europe.
