I have taken two German lessons with Kristina so far and I am impressed. I enjoyed my first lesson so much that I attended the second lesson even though I was feeling sick. In this short time, I already noticed Kristina is a skilled instructor with years of experience. She has been gauging my level since I haven't spoken my beginner level German in over a decade and has structured her lessons in a way that isn't too easy, yet difficult enough that I am challenged and learning many new things. I look forward to learning more from her so that I can someday surprise my German friends with decent fluency. ;)

Kristina is great! She’s teaching my daughter German so that she can attend college in a German speaking county and my daughter is absolutely thrilled with her lessons. I highly recommend Kristina!!

Kristina is very well prepared and knowledgeable. She has lots of material that she shares freely. She teaches both formal and everyday language styles. Kristina uses movies, books, music, etc to bring the language across. She is very patient and friendly. I would highly recommend her as a private German tutor.

Kristina is an excellent French teacher! Her knowledge, patience, and encouragement make her classes truly exceptional. As a beginner, I've gained confidence in speaking French through her guidance. Furthermore, Kristina is deeply passionate about the language and incorporates French culture and songs into her lessons. I've been studying with her for two months now, and every lesson has been well-organized and enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend Kristina as a French teacher for anyone looking to improve their language skills.

Kristina makes learning French fun. I appreciate her making conversation with me in French everytime we speak. Even if I can’t respond in French or I don’t fully understand her, it makes me more accustomed to hearing French I’m conversation. This is useful because in movies or videos usually people talk too fast for me to even catch a word or two. But with Kristina I can clearly understand her words. She also adds her personal touch to lessons with songs or web series translated in French so you can tie the dialogs you know in English, back to French

I did my doctorate in philosophy, which meant working with the original German texts. What’s more, my father was German.
