“Great German teachers, not just academically, but also fun to get along with, they try to make classes relevant, using a variety of materials and discussion topics to keep you interested, flexible service which is important considering my so called diary! classes are a good combination of confidence building, i.e. letting your strengths shine through and improving i.e. working on weaker areas.”

“I have been taking Spanish lessons from SIMON & SIMON for 3 months now. It was not an obvious choice to use SIMON & SIMON as it seemed the prices were slightly higher than elsewhere. I have had Spanish lessons (and other language lessons before) and have not had great results. However it's a different story with SIMON & SIMON. The teacher we got is fantastic. He has many many years experience and yet seems so fresh and energetic every time he teaches. He also has a thorough grasp of the structure of the language and can explain in simple terms "why". The one piece of advice I would give anyone considering language lessons is how good is the teacher? It may sound obvious but a good teacher is many times better (and thus better value for money) than an average one.”
