Hello, I am Doris, a German native-speaker and experienced tutor. I have supported students of all ages, ranging from A0 - C1 level and pride myself on my approachable nature, my cultural and grammar.

I took an intensive German course with her for two weeks, five hours per day. During this time, we not only built a strong student–teacher relationship but also developed a very kind and open way of communication. She has extensive experience and a fun, engaging approach to teaching even difficult topics. I would definitely recommend her.

I have known Doris for almost five years.
From the first time I met Doris, she was friendly and happy. We also shared a love of music. We are now good friends and meet up at concerts and festivals.
I recommend Doris to give German lessons because she is a kind, patient, focused person, and she has the drive to succeed. I would choose Doris if I wanted to learn German without hesitation.

Es ist seit 10 Monaten, dass ich mit großer Freude Deutsch bei Doris lerne. Sie ist sehr pädagogisch, humorvoll und geduldig. Jede Unterrichtsstunde ist immer wieder ein wunderbarer und sehr lehrreicher Moment. Ich kann sie Ihnen wärmstens empfehlen :))

I've known Doris for a couple of years now, and she is one of the loveliest people I know. She is incredibly caring, patient, and understanding. She has a great sense of humor and knows how to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Being a native German and equipped with the social skills I've just mentioned, I have no doubt about her abilities to teach and explain such a difficult language to anyone. But mostly, I doubt it'll feel like a lesson in the first place, but just a casual conversation with a good friend :)

My name is Richard White and I lecture in Architecture at Dundee University.
I have known Doris as a friend for five years now and she is a caring and patient person with a kind heart and great sense of humour.
You will certainly enjoy your German lessons with her.

I met Doris 5 years ago and we became good friends.

We share similar interests and have enjoyed day trips and overnight stays to cities around the UK and Ireland.

I admire Doris for her organizing skills both professionally and personally. She is patient, enjoys a challenge, and is hard-working.
I was never good at learning languages, but over time Doris has taught me German and I feel confident to now converse in the language.

She is calm, dedicated, family-oriented, and a fun person to be around. Liked by friends and those she meets and teaches.

It's a privilege to know her and have her as a friend and teacher.

Doris has been an amazing teacher. She’s very approachable and makes the classes easy. Doris creates a friendly atmosphere which makes me feel like I am talking to a friend rather than a tutor. My language skills have improved significantly thanks to her teaching. I can highly recommend her for anyone who wants to learn or improve German language.

I´ve been learning German with Doris for two years. In my first lesson, I could barely say hello, but now I work and communicate in German on a daily basis. Doris is extremely patient and supportive, she speaks and explains things clearly. The lessons are always enjoyable without any stress. She is one of the kindest and most inspiring teachers I´ve ever had.

I have worked with Doris since mid-2023 on my German language journey. She has consistently been supportive, explaining the nuances in the German language that would sometimes frustrate me without ever getting frustrated herself. Without her help and gentle correction of my mistakes with the German language structure, consistent positive support in my understanding and struggles with German articles, and her suggestions for alternative sources for better understanding of German, I would not have successfully passed my German B1 certification as quickly as I did. I will continue to work with her to better refine and improve my verbal communication skills as I work toward true fluency.

I have been taking German lessons with Doris for the past 3 years. She is fabulous, I can remember my first lesson, I was really stressed, but she managed to make me relax and speak. She is always encouraging, and helps to feel at ease during each lesson. One of the best teachers I have ever met !
