Experienced language teacher

"I refer to my personal experience during six months as a student of the German language with my tutor Andy Oberholzer. My frame of reference is based on having participated in similar intensive language training courses during the past 13 years spanning five continents.The training offered by Mastertalk is of the highest standard. Key factors include significant experience with such training courses, excellent preparation, good understanding of the student's need and the process of learning. I find the course material always relevant and appropriate to the current level of competence."

"I have had the opportunity to study, learn and apply German for two years under Andy's tutelage.He has been patient, firm and extremely flexible in his training and his handling of my learning needs. I have been able to improve substantially my ability to understand and use German in both social and business situations. I have had the opportunity to compare Andy's training with that of a formal educational experience (six years of Spanish), and of other professional companies. His approach is first-rate. Any student of his is lucky to have him."

"I find Andy to be very professional, as well as helpful, courteous, and have an appropriate sense of humour and fun.He is very flexible to my requirements, so I can schedule my courses to fit in around my business needs; and in the event that I have urgent matters to attend to, he helps me in rescheduling my classes."

"To potential language students: I am a native English speaker who has been a student of German with Andy Oberholzer for almost 2 years. I am not a natural linguist and always found language learning difficult and frankly tedious. Andy was able to motivate me to enjoy the learning experience with the right mixture of conversation and written work. lt says a lot about Andy' s teaching that I continued to take lessons for the whole period of my stay here in Switzerland.,I thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone who is contemplating learning a language here in Zurich."
