The exam preparation course lasts for 15, 20 or 25 hours. The schedule is flexible and depends on the exam date and the student's availability.

Do you also offer in-person courses?

No, at the moment, we only offer online courses. To provide more flexibility, our students don't have to leave their homes to get the most out of the German course.

Which German exams do you prepare for?

We prepare our students for various official German exams at levels A1 (beginner) to B2 (upper intermediate), such as the Goethe Certificate, Fide and Telc exams, or the DaZ/DaF test.

You will receive all the didactic material in PDF format before each lesson. We will follow a textbook, and we will include external activities to address specific topics that require extra attention.

Every four units, we will have a test to ensure that the concepts covered so far have been assimilated. In case they haven't, we will review the topics that are not clear. At the end of the course, students take another comprehensive exam to assess their progress.

What Do My Students Say About Me?


“Marta is an excellent teacher!!! Super available and really prepared in every topic. In fact, she always tailors the lesson for your needs and she keeps the focus on the topics you are a bit lacking. I like her teaching method since every lesson is different but consistent (speaking, grammar, exercises and Hausaufgaben) like this, there is no doubt you will improve your German!”

— Ilaria, Italien

She is a super teacher! She is very well organized, very present during the lesson, and knows how to encourage you more. She is also very friendly, which makes it easy for a new beginner to try to speak German without having anxiety. I strongly recommend her, you won't regret it.

— Neslihan, Turkey

Increíble experiencia aprendiendo desde cero alemán con Marta! La recomiendo muchísimo sobre todo por la paciencia y cariño con los que te enseña!

— María Belén, Venezuela

As a former language teacher myself, I would say that Marta is an extraordinary teacher. She delivers the materials and topics through practice. Marta is super empathetic and knows exactly when you need a break, or just talk in language & when to challenge you. We have been practicing for 2 months, and I can already see improvements. I challenge myself more often and speak much freer in German when needed! Highly recommend classes with Marta!

— Irina, Russia

Marta is the best German teacher I ever had! Classes with her are a lot of fun and she takes great care of getting to know the students and their needs. She knows how to explain concepts in an easy way and understands German language inside out! 

— Álvaro, Spain
