Some of the sights and places of interest you will find include the impressive Neues Rathaus and Marienplatz, the easy-going Hofbrauhaus, and much more. You can also look forward to the famous Oktoberfest if you’re planning on staying in Munich in October.

If you have any small issues with your home tuition experience, the school asks that you contact their Local Organiser agent in Munich, who will do everything they can to help.

The Standard German language course delivered by this school at their Munich location sets you up for success from the beginning. This option represents the 20 lessons per week course, and is one of the most popular modalities due to its balance of stimulating serious progress but at the same time leaving your timetable relatively open.

Every lesson lasts for roughly 45 minutes, and the groups have a maximum capacity of 12 - although in practice their average numbers are 7 people per group. Keeping classes small in this way benefits participants by letting them learn in an environment where it’s easy to speak up and be heard - especially useful when it comes to getting your burning questions answered.

Please note that the timetable of the classes can change depending on the season, so please consult the school for confirmation.

The Intensive course is the standard German language course offered from TANDEM academy in Cologne, and consists of 20 lessons per week.

Your level will be assessed approximately with the school’s placement test.

Groups are kept in small numbers, between 5 and 12 participants. Small classes are a feature that makes participating verbally in your lessons more realistic, and also allows your teacher to get to know you and your specific needs more easily.

Every month the students have the chance to take part in a progress test, which is a motivational tool that the school uses to show you your improvements.
