Intensive weekly courses

I had lessons with Jens for 7 months, starting at a complete beginner level on one of the intensive weekly courses. The course was effectively structured and taught in a really clear way, covering German grammar topics alongside conversation practice. The lessons were also very engaging, in groups of between 3 and 5 people. Soon after finishing the course with Jens, I moved to Berlin as part of a relocation with my job where I secured a place on a level B1.2 course at the Goethe Institut in Berlin - reaching this level in a relatively short period of time is testament to Jen's teaching!

Highly recommend!

Jens is friendly, warm and engaging. In his lessons he strikes the right balance of attacking the intricacies of German grammar and keeping the lessons enjoyable. My daughters (14 and 12) have already benefited greatly from the lessons and they look forward to continuing in the next academic year.

Amazing teacher!

Jens is an amazing teacher, patient, pedagogue and kind. In one year I made more progress than in my previous 11 years studies. He makes German difficult grammar interesting and fun. I highly recommend him and I am looking forward my second year with him.

A real treasure!

Jens has been a game-changer for our 13 year old son who is on the autism spectrum. Jen's steady creative approach has turned our son who was previously told he "shouldn't be studying a foreign language" into an enthusiastic learner. Jens's responsive approach pulls out what the student knows and builds on that knowledge in a relative and stimulating way. He is hard working, organised and reliable. A real treasure! I would highly recommend him.

Thank you!

Jens is a very dedicated and professional tutor who helped our son to achieve top marks in his IB programme. The best tutor we have come across...

Professional service!

Jens' depth of understanding of language resonates in his excellent teaching of the infamous German grammar. To a native English speaker like myself, the nuances of grammar do not come naturally, but Jens can push through these boundaries in a way that other native German speakers cannot. I have always been hopeless at languages, but in some 60 hours of tuition (far less than I have had in other languages - to no avail), Jens has not only managed to get me to a position where German proficiency no longer appears some far-off pipe-dream, but he has also re-shaped my entire understanding of grammar. He's also a bloke you'd have a beer with. Highly recommended.

Very very helpful!

Took great care when it came to preparing lessons, giving feedback and explaining new content. Ensured that he knew my level personally and gave me work perfect for the level that I was at. Would really recommend taking lessons here as you make great progress and have fun while doing it!

Highly recommend!

I started having lessons with Jens in January 2020 when I was struggling with learning German, and I really enjoyed the personalised lessons and improved a lot with his help! He's a very patient teacher and he taught many good ways to learn German and simplify it in a way that is easy to comprehend.

After the summer period and having been taught by Kristin, Jens' colleague, I decided to be taught by Kristin fully as I became very comfortable with her teaching style. Kristin is a very patient and passionate teacher, you will definitely feel comfortable and at ease when being taught by her. She's definitely very experienced and extremely willing to help and personalise your lessons according to what you're weak at. She's very encouraging and builds your confidence, even when you make mistakes or you're unsure, which is important when German is definitely not an easy language to learn. I would highly recommend the tutors at Olesen Tuition if you're interested in learning German or would like to improve your current level.

Fantastic tutor!

Jens is a fantastic tutor. His lessons are always fun, helpful, and meticulously planned. He is also very good at catering to the individual needs of the pupil. I would recommend him to anyone.
