Manuela Catenacci

As someone preparing for the TestDaF for university admission, I needed a teacher who truly understood the examination requirements. Manuela's comprehensive knowledge of the German academic system and exam formats was invaluable. Her detailed feedback on my writing and speaking helped me identify subtle errors I wouldn't have caught otherwise. I passed with scores higher than required!

After struggling with app-based learning for months, working with Manuela transformed my German learning experience. Her academic background brings structure to lessons, while her genuine passion for teaching makes each session engaging. I particularly appreciate how she incorporates German music and films that match my interests into our lessons.

Manuela's background as both a native German speaker and multilingual teacher makes her exceptional. When I struggled with certain concepts, she could explain them in Spanish, which is my native language. Her personalized approach meant she quickly identified my weaknesses and tailored exercises specifically to address them.

Manuela helped me prepare for a job interview at a German engineering firm with incredibly specific vocabulary practice and mock interviews. Her background knowledge of professional German contexts gave me insider tips I wouldn't have known otherwise. I got the job and continue lessons with her to improve my workplace communication.

I can't express how grateful I am for finding Manuela as my German teacher. As someone who struggled with languages in school, I was apprehensive about learning German for my relocation to Berlin. Manuela's patient approach and ability to explain grammar in multiple languages (she helped me in English when I was confused) made the seemingly impossible become achievable. Within 6 months, I passed my A2 exam with confidence!
