Elizabeth is a great teacher as she brings her vast year of her own learning experience into teaching others. The thing that quite interested me was her style of bringing Native touch of the language making her teaching skills very effective. During her class and notes she also happens to touch professional conversation topics in addition to general topics like taking appointment from a doctor. I really liked her approach covering many times advanced level grammatical constructs even during her basic courses.
Yet one more key part of her teaching that I truly appreciated was her hand-crafted notes which serve as perfect blend of notes and practice material. Furthermore, she also provides lots of study and practice material online as homework for students.
Elizabeth is beautiful and kind hearted .She is a very, a dedicated and honest teacher. I also liked her professional and impart behaviour so that all students get fair opportunity to acquire German Skills from her.

Izzi ist eine großartige Deutschlehrerin. Sie ist nicht nur sehr kompetent und fachlich stark, sondern auch wirklich lustig, was den Unterricht immer angenehm und unterhaltsam macht. Sie schafft eine entspannte Atmosphäre, in der man sich wohlfühlt, spricht, Fehler macht und Fragen stellt.

Selbst wenn die Grammatik kompliziert wird, erklärt sie alles klar und einfach. Sie hat ein Talent dafür, schwierige Themen verständlich und machbar zu machen. Die Materialien, die sie vorbereitet, sind gut strukturiert und sehr hilfreich und unterstützen den Unterricht perfekt.

Dank ihres Unterrichtsstils habe ich echte Fortschritte gemacht und fühle mich viel sicherer in meinem Deutsch.
