I love teaching because I constantly see how students thrive if they have the right tools to learn German. In my classes German is comprehensive, fun, and yet straightforward. I like to find ways that make learning German easier, and more time-efficient.
Many students lose interest in learning a language because of a cookie cutter approach. Here, it's the opposite; lessons are very individual and carefully customized to the preferences, weaknesses, and strengths of my students.

Ms.Dorothee is a natural teacher, with a deep knowledge and understanding of the German language, its structure, syntax, grammar, and idioms. She is good at figuring out what students have to learn. I had a proficiency test for listening and speaking and she knew what were my weak points instantly.She adjusts the lesson to make sure I am staying focused and interested. I'm very impressed.

I am a complete beginner, and I am really pleased with Dorothee?s approach of teaching the basics of grammar to get a base to really learn the language. We are moving to Germany, so we will need to really learn the language rather than just know phrases.

Dorothee was super helpful and kind, and helped me feel prepared for the AP German exam! I had weekly lessons with her for 1.5 months, and she gave me helpful tips and introduced me to the structure of the exam. That way I felt familiar with all of the elements during the actual exam, and I was able to improve my speaking and writing. Thank you, Dorothee, I really enjoyed the lessons!

Dorothee did a masterful job in finding out my strengths and weaknesses in speaking and understanding German. She is a fun and patient teacher. I expect to enjoy more sessions with her.

Dorothee works very well with our teenage son. He had never taken German before so it was all new to him. She explains grammar clearly and logically. She?s patient and encouraging. He loves the language so we?re very thankful for her tutoring.

Ensures that i understand no matter how little my question is!! Wunderbar! Very recommended her technique, skills and tools! She knows my level and makes sure i don?t miss nothing, and if I do, she goes directly to the problem!

We like Dorothee a lot. We only started and had 2 lessons. My son who is 13 enjoys it- that is the most important. If they like it they will learn??. She is german native which is important to me. I am German too but I am not a teacher and my son would not learn with me. It seems that Dorothee can very well adapt to the person and level. Looking forward to keep going and see how it develops. Would definitely recommend her. Thanks

Dorothee is such a wonderful german teacher for my 11 year old son! He already speaks German as I am talking German to him (and so are his grandparents), however he hasn't learned to read fluently nor does he have a concept of grammar or writing. Dorothee is wonderfully in-tune with him and ready to up the pace when needed. I highly recommend Dorothee!

Our daughter had tutoring lessons with Dorothee for AP German and did fantastic on her exam. Dorothee is very patient, punctual, and easy to work with. She made our daughter feel comfortable throughout the process and raised her confidence before taking her test. She is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. We highly recommend her!

I have already learned how to conjugate an important regular verb. She showed me an excellent technique to remember how to conjugate regular verbs. I acquired some new vocabulary words. We practiced my pronunciation. I feel very positive about our first lesson.

Dorothee is a very experienced AP German tutor. She knows the test itself inside out and also has a very good understanding of the standardized test-taking process. She is a native German speaker who fundamentally understands and expertly teaches the rules of German grammar as well as test-taking techniques that will help my son master any standardized test. Dorothee takes her job as a tutor seriously, while always being friendly and maintaining a good sense of humor. I highly recommend Dorothee!
- Christina S. from Great Barrington, MA
Dorothee has made an effort to understand the most important gaps in my knowledge and to give me customized practice to help me master the things I'm lacking. She reviews my progress regularly and helps identify essential next step concepts. I highly recommend her work.
