What we like about the school
  • Preparation for all German exams
  • Free walking tours of the city.
  • Central location near the Jungfernstieg promenade.
  • Excellent nationality mix. No student nationality makes up more than 15% of students.
What we dislike about the school
  • Cancellation fees for students having to cancel due to visa rejection.
  • Class time is shorter than in other schools at 45 minutes per lesson.

In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

The neighborhood, the school is secure, is accessed only with passes the kindness

Other comments First day organisation is poor. On the confirmation document was only indicated one hour of presentation. The level test is about 20 minutes and you have to wait after the break to enter the course. Thus I've lost 2 x 45 min on Monday morning. I've paid 20 lessons and only followed 18.

Good quality teaching.
Insider tip: Bring a passport photo for the DID student card (which will get you discounts at some tourist attractions but not on the public transport system) and 10 euros for the refundable deposit for the card that will let you get past the electronic locks at the school's entrance. Also worth bringing a passport photo to get a public transport card made at the main train station (this card will enable you to save money on public transport by buying a weekly or monthly ticket).
Details of the review
Other comments Shame that I got no teaching on the first day as I sat around a long time waiting for language level assessment. The cultural activities were cancelled as they will only run an activity if 5 or more people have signed up.
