Taisiya Luchina, student at Universität Wien, Vienna, Austria, https://www.facebook.com/taisiya.luchina

I am from Moscow, but I graduated from high school in Slovakia. German has been taught since the 7th grade, but it always seemed to be a rather unapproachable language and often caused panic. But I needed to get a C1 level certificate to enter the University of Vienna (Universität Wien). Realized that school curriculum I don’t have enough, so I turned to Google and came across the site of Ekaterina Alekseevna.

The site itself is very competently designed, certificates of knowledge of the language are attached, net hours are calculated for mastering one or another level. It somehow immediately motivated and everything seemed not so hopeless.

Among the many tutors that I found, Ekaterina Alekseevna seemed to be the most competent, endearing and knowledgeable teacher. Without thinking twice, I turned to her for help, and this was my best decision in all this unequal struggle with the German language. Thank you very much for your understanding and willingness to help. All lessons were extremely intensive and productive, the course was well structured and organized, for the first time I encountered the fact that the teacher is so devoted to his student.

The homework platform was very easy to use, and I still use it just in case, as access remains open even after the end of the course. The material that Ekaterina Alekseevna provided me was really very useful and varied, everything was extremely useful for learning German.

My course lasted 3 months. For starters, I needed to tighten up B2, as it was in a rather deplorable and chaotic state. The first couple of classes were already able to clarify my school knowledge, and everything began to make sense. Having mastered B2, we started preparing for the Goethe Zertifikat C1 exam. The difference in levels was quite noticeable, but nevertheless, Ekaterina was always ready to explain everything in an accessible way.

For the first time I passed the exam in Moscow at the Goethe Institute, but I did not have one point for written part, so I had attempt number two. A month later, an exam was held in Saratov, at the Lingua-Saratov linguistic center. And this time I have already comprehended C1, scored 71 points. 48 points for the written part and 23 points for the oral part. This is not the height of perfection, there is still something to strive for. My path to German was thorny, but Ekaterina helped me a lot, I am immensely grateful to her.

I successfully entered the university, with currently in the first semester of the Japanologie course.

To everyone who has the same difficult relationship with German that I had, I recommend contacting Ekaterina Alekseevna: a very warm and kind person, and a first-class teacher.

Asem Pilyavskaya, doctor, Kazakhstan, https://vk.com/id243162237

As a practicing doctor, further professional growth is very important to me, so the idea of ​​moving to Germany came a long time ago. I started learning German from scratch a year ago with a tutor, but unfortunately the tutor didn't pay enough attention to my mistakes. To work as a doctor in Germany, you need to know German at level B2.

3 months before the exam, I started looking for another tutor on the Internet and accidentally stumbled upon the website of Ekaterina Alekseevna, where it was proposed to check my level of German. Then we agreed on the time of the oral part of the test. My German level was B1.

As a result, we decided with Ekaterina Alekseevna to conduct an experiment - to prepare for the B2 exam in 3 months. It was a busy 3 months for me, but it was worth it.

Ekaterina Alekseevna built an individual lesson schedule for me. During the classes, she devoted time to all parts of the exam, we did not lose a single minute of time. I want to say that for the most part thanks to the “pedantry” (in the good sense of the word) of my teacher, I managed to keep myself in good shape and not relax, to prepare for every lesson, even on duty. Ekaterina Alekseevna is not only a strict and demanding teacher, but also a kind person.

The experiment was a success! I successfully passed the exam, in a month I will receive a B2 certificate and I can search for a job.

I want to express my deep gratitude to Ekaterina Alekseevna for the competent, professional teaching of the German language. As a result of my search, I found a great teacher! I advise Ekaterina Alekseevna as the best tutor!

Roza Krylova, accountant with 30 years of experience, Sebezh, Pskov region, Russia, https://vk.com/treasure_2020

“Live a century, learn a century” - not in vain it is said. So, in my 18+, due to the circumstances, I needed help to pass an interview for German to level B1. I urgently searched in the vast expanses of the Internet for an accelerated course online. Accidentally stumbled upon the site of Ekaterina Kazankova, I decided to take the test. Before that I had A1 (Goethe certificate). As a result, having developed an individual program at an accelerated pace, Katyusha (I can afford to call her that because of my age), in 10 lessons she prepared me for an interview at the embassy. I tried, I remembered my student years during the sessions and taught at night, did the tasks prepared for me by Ekaterina. But, most importantly, a positive result!

Thank you so much! And further success!

Vera Rumyantseva, https://www.facebook.com/Vera2Rumiantseva

I am a resident of Ukraine. The German language is necessary for me to study at a professional school of horticulture. Since I did not have the opportunity to attend German language courses, by a lucky chance I found the official website of Ekaterina Kazankova on the Internet. I passed an online test to determine the level and a trial online lesson, after which I received full information about my knowledge and the chances of passing the exam at the A2 level.
It was necessary for me in a short time, namely 3 weeks before the exam, to prepare for the written and oral parts of the exam. Each online lesson evaluated my knowledge according to all criteria: vocabulary, grammar, phonetics... Thanks to Ekaterina's professional help, I improved my writing and speaking skills in just 5 online lessons. They studied smoothly and clearly according to the structure of the exam. During the learning process, the identified gaps in knowledge were eliminated, and practical advice and recommendations came in handy for me in the exam in a timely manner, thanks to which oral part I got 24 points out of 25. I am very pleased with my result of 89 points. I want to thank Ekaterina Alekseevna for her support and result-oriented work in teaching German.

Natalia Sheludko, Faculty of Medicine, https://vk.com/id17127807

I am a dental student and have almost three years studying in Germany at the University of Bonn. I studied German at the Goethe Institute. During intensive preparation for the C1 exam, I wanted to work out with a tutor for several months. One of my teachers advised me to contact Ekaterina Alekseevna.
Ekaterina Alekseevna is a wonderful and very attentive teacher, she is also a very pleasant, energetic and kind girl. All classes were held in a friendly atmosphere, at the same time she is very demanding and sets a lot of homework. The classes were clearly structured, took place at a fairly intense pace, and we really did a lot in one and a half hours. It has always been very important for me that I work during the class as efficiently as possible, and not a minute of working time is lost. Ekaterina Alekseevna pays attention to all four aspects of language learning: Schreiben, Lesen, Hören, Sprechen.
Speaking was the most difficult task for me, so Ekaterina Alekseevna trained my conversational speech the most. Ekaterina Alekseevna is very familiar with the Goethe exam system, this is very important if you are preparing directly for the exam. Before that, I had the experience of studying with three tutors who did not have enough information about the exams at the Goethe Institute, so I clearly see the difference.
I passed C1 with 94.5 points (sehr gut) and I am very grateful to Ekaterina Alekseevna for her knowledge and support!
Ekaterina Alekseevna, I wish you and your students enthusiasm while learning the language and success in the exams!
