What I was looking for from my lessons was fairly non-specific in that I am not pursuing a specific qualification or examination, but rather looking for revision of learning that I did multiple decades ago and to recover and enhance my speaking ability in German. Hazel come up with an excellent approach to this, with a mix of revision teaching that has highlighted things that I didn't know l had forgotten, coupled with a semi-informal conversational session which tests my grammar and vocab. Her approach is excellent and the "lessons" are quite enjoyable, in a way that they never were at school!! All good and I would thoroughly recommend Hazel.
Hazel is very encouraging and supportive. She takes a flexible approach and always makes lessons enjoyable.
Hazel has been fantastic with my daughter and they have settled into lessons online together really well. Thank you Hazel, I'd highly recommend you.
Hazel is such a great teacher! Her passion is giving me the courage to continue learning German although it is a very hard language. Every lesson is full of laughters and the lesson recap is even fun to watch! Hazel is really kind and she'll solve my questions outside of lesson time as well and she replied texts very quickly. Thank you for your dedication Hazel!
I am a beginner to German, and Hazel has been super helpful in getting me through the early stages of learning a new language. She tailors her teaching around subjects that I would like to learn and has plenty of good exercises to practise. Hazel's energetic and encouraging attitude makes my learning experience engaging and fun!
The lessons with Hazel are great she is very patient and encouraging with my attempts to learn German and I enjoy the lessons greatly. I would recommend Hazel to anyone wanting to learn German. I find the lessons much better than online apps eg Babbel.
Hazel is a fab tutor for my daughter. She brings a lot of clarity and energy to the weekly lessons making them really engaging. My daughter really looks forward to each lesson. Hazel aligns and supports with my daughter’s school curriculum, which has enabled her to get top marks for her exams!
We have been so grateful to have such a wonderful German teacher for for over two years. Hazel is always punctual, professional, and incredibly approachable, which has made a big difference in my son’s learning experience. Since starting lessons with her, his confidence and ability in German have improved tremendously. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their German skills, whether you are just starting out or preparing for GCSE exams. Thank you so much for all your support and dedication over the years!
