I was turned away two days ago after a "kein platz für Selbzähler" (no place for self-payers) Strangely enough, I was the only """"different person""" (ethnically and religiously) and I was also the only one turned away. Make your own conclusions. This took place the Tuesday 14.04.2026 at 14:30 hrs at this location.

The lady at the information booth doesn't speak a single English word. I went to learn German, not to speak German. If I had that kind of knowledge of the language, as the lady was expecting, I would not have gone there in the first place! Terrible experience.

I took a C1 business German course and I can only speak positively about this school. We were given a lot of learning material and our teachers took their role very seriously to lead us to success. I was actually impressed by the quality of this course, especially given the fact that we didn't have to pay anything!

I took an integration course in German with the best teacher, Sandra. I was very lucky with the group, the students were mostly good. But there was an unpleasant situation where one student interrupted the other students (when the teacher called students by their names). I reprimanded her. After that she was offended, and her behavior did not change. Gilles, our second teacher, unfortunately chose to turn a blind eye to the situation. A very spineless teacher's attitude. So I decided to leave the class. I moved to a parallel class, where the level of education was much lower. And the teacher told us strange stories, how her grandfather rocked her on his lap as a child and whispered: "Boom, boom, boom, the Russians are coming“. After 2.5 days I left that group... At the office the staff did not care about the students. I got the impression that if a student attended one module, it was already good for them and they weren't interested in more.

I took a B2.0 German course with teacher Uta for a month. She is always very sympathisch and helpful. We were given a lot of learning materials. The course is designed carefully and we had not only courses in the classroom, but also excursion which Uta showed us the city and the cultural exhibition. I really learned a lot and the course helped me getting prepared for the upcoming B2 courses. I highly recommend this teacher. Although it takes some efforts to register (to like up, do the assessment test and the opening hours are every Tuesday and Thursday 14-16 Uhr), it worths trying because the teacher is good and the price is very reasonable. One module course for B2 or higher levels with 100 studying hours costs only 130€!
