Sönke's Feedback

My daughter (17) has been working with Soenke for a few weeks now. She loves her sessions with him and is super-inspired when she comes off calls. His style is clear, creative and inspiring and although it's still early days, we would thoroughly recommend him. As a parent I appreciate how organised, reliable and consistent he is. Thank you, A* :)

Sönke is a sublime teacher - look no further if you are looking for a German tutor. He is fun, patient, and warm, and constantly came up with new, innovative ways of learning; I always looked forwards to our lessons. I recommend him wholeheartedly, whatever your level of pre-existing knowledge of German may be.

Mr has taught online German lessons for my daughter in the final year of her GCSEs. He is very kind, supportive and an excellent German teacher. He has a practical and methodical approach towards the teaching. My daughter enjoyed her German lessons with Mr Bayer, and has significant improved her confidence and performance in the German. She has now taken the German as one of her subjects in her IB programme, and is keen to continue with Mr as her German tutor in the next two years of her IB programme. We are very happy to have him as German tutor.

I've been seeking tutoring in getting me to a B1 level and Sönke has been amazing at tailoring a programme for me. He's patient and very effective. I highly recommend!

Sonke has been excellent. I can see improvement in Shreyas in just 3 weeks. Even though he did not have slot he offered to forward resources. He connects with the student and always copies parents in the email thread.

Sönke has been fantastic with my daughter, encouraging her and helping her to feel that she can certainly reach the grade she is after. He is patient, good-humoured and engaging and I would highly recommend him as a tutor.

Sønke's lessons were always very lively and upbeat. This was important to us, as we needed someone who was both knowledgeable and could also make the tutorials fun.His help came at a time when my daughter needed some extra input and guidance as she was about to sit her German IGCSE in two months time. Regardless of outcome or grade, we really appreciated Sønke's help and, in these stressful times, his humour. Thank you!

Sønke truly is an excellent tutor. For the short time that I worked with him he made such a massive difference in everything from my results to my confidence and ability. He always delivered lessons that were perfectly pitched and well planned and structured, willing to spend as much time as necessary ensuring that I understood where I went wrong and how to improve. Overall, I could not recommend him highly enough!

I am three lessons into my time with Sönke and I am loving every minute of it. Very courteous and professional, but also great fun to work with.
His teaching style is very flexible and he adjusts it to suit the context of what I am learning, minimising confusion with humorous examples and witty jokes.

Sonke has a great approach and combined with his sense of humor makes learning German easier. Thank you.

Sönke is an excellent tutor with a wealth of teaching experience and fantastic knowledge of all the different exam boards' syllabuses. He makes lessons fun, which is so important for learning; my daughter always enjoys them and has learnt a great deal. As my daughter has been too ill to attend school on a regular basis for some time, his lessons have actually been a lifeline. I can't recommend him enough.

Daniel had his first lesson with Sonke and came downstairs afterwards beaming! he said he really enjoyed the lesson/

Fantastic tutor, because he is patient, great personality, he goes the extra mile for you and has a canny ability to get you to understand complex ideas of German grammar. Highly recommended.

You are a great teacher - patient, organised and fun - and we have been very impressed with your level of professionalism. It’s quite amazing what a little bit of focused one-on-one can do!

Friendly and pro. Helps my son

We have hired Sonke to help myself, my husband and my two small children (aged 5 and 7) to learn some basic German before moving to Switzerland in a few months time. His lessons have been great fun, really engaging for the kids and we are amazed at how much we have learnt in such a short space of time. He has also been really helpful in providing further learning for both myself and my husband at a more in depth level. He is professional and friendly and we could not be more delighted. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.

Sönke is a real find - not just because of his prompt professionalism, his wealth of teaching experience, but because he has so quickly established a strong rapport with our daughter.

Sönke has built both my German language skills and my confidence to use them. His flexible approach keeps you engaged while keeping an eye on the end goal. For me that was to simply converse in German while there on business and holiday. Quickly we got to a stage where I was studying for a Goethe Institut certificate (the German equivalent of the British Council). His ability to deliver face-2-face and virtual lessons helped considerably during the March snow. I would highly recommend Sönke as a German tutor.
