Wenn Du einen Lehrer suchst der flexibel ist, Dich fordert aber gleichzeitig auch unterstützt, Giselle ist perfekt für Dich! Was auch immer Deine Interessen sind, in meinem Fall sind es Literatur und Nachrichten, sie bringt Dir die nötigen Strukturen und das richtige Vokabular bei, um Dich korrekt auszudrücken. Wir reden oft über alles mögliche und haben super interessante kulturelle Diskussionen, besonders da Giselle auch in verschiedenen Ländern gelebt und studiert hat und somit eine tolle Perspektive bieten kann. Niemals hätte ich sonst soviel über Lateinamerika gelernt, und die Zeit vergeht dabei wie im Fluge. Und das alles lernst Du von zu Hause aus, einfach super!
If you want an encouraging, yet challenging and flexible teacher, Giselle is it! She will work in whatever you are interested in, in my case talking about news or literature, and will meet you exactly at your proficiency level. We often get side tracked in interesting cultural discussions, since she has also lived and studied in several countries and can offer her unique Latin American experience, and time flies by. And all this happens from the comfort of your home!
