My teenage son is not an academic. He faces learning challenges and easily loses focus. I appreciate Kristina’s ability to meet him where he is and engage with him while tutoring him in German. She’s had to go back and address things he struggles with in English comprehension before being able to progress his German. I was feeling helpless as a mom and didn’t even know where to start. But Kristina did. This is the best experience we’ve had with any tutor. My son is learning and interactive during the sessions, and his grade is improving. I do feel that Kristina genuinely cares for his growth and is very patient with him. I would highly recommend her for tutoring!

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

Kristina did an exceptional job in helping my son with his German studies. In less than 45 days, she covered the entire German 1 syllabus with him, and he successfully passed. She went above and beyond by creating audio files for him to practice listening comprehension, administering tests, and always coming to sessions fully prepared. I’m extremely satisfied with her dedication and effectiveness. I will definitely recommend her and plan to continue working with her, especially as my son is now interested in taking the German Level 1 - A1 certification.

Kristina has been wonderful so far with her style of teaching. Her lessons are affordable and I feel like I’m moving through German fast because she makes sure to cover fundamental concepts in a way that’s both engaging and fun. She’s very patient and understanding if I’m struggling with a concept or vocabulary and assigns homework that challenges me and lets me explore new vocabulary on my own. I’ve really enjoyed having her as a teacher and would recommend her to others just starting to learn German or any other language she offers.
