Hi Sabine! I wanted to let you know that my son tested into third semester German at Hillsdale College! Thanks for your hard work and patience with him - you are a big reason that he did so well on the placement exam. So thankful for your time with him. He told me that your type of instruction helped so much with conversation and writing! He is now reading Der Richter und sein Henker. I am so thankful!

Sabine is a gifted language teacher and we learned so much taking German lessons with her.  Sabine makes even complicated grammar fun and interesting to learn.  Studying a language with a native speaker is the best way to learn, and Sabine provides lots of cultural context in her lessons.  We cannot recommend her highly enough!  Mit Sabine Deutsch lernen macht Spass!

Sabine is the best teacher!  She really knows her stuff—not only is she a native speaker of German, but she is also highly educated in German literature and linguistics.  She loves the subject and is very enthusiastic, you can tell she really enjoys teaching.  Sabine is very patient with beginners.  She makes her lessons fun, which is the perfect learning environment for a new language.  She uses lots of different techniques to engage learners of all sorts and ages, like skits, fairy tales, games, short stories, and more.  Sabine is very good at adapting her lesson plans to the abilities and interests of individual students.  I cannot even count how many different teachers I have had in various languages (16 or more), but Sabine is hands down my favorite language teacher!

“I struggled with studying German in school because of my ADHD. Once I began tutoring lessons with Sabine Demetz, our lessons became the best hours of my week. Sabine easily worked with my disability and our lessons were educational and humorous. I wouldn’t have the ability and love of speaking German that I do now if it wasn’t for Sabine.”

“My high school daughter has been taking German instruction from Sabine for over two years now and really loves it.  As much as possible Sabine speaks only German during class time, giving an immersion feel, which expedites learning.  She takes great care to prepare lessons that are manageable and engaging to meet the student at their level. I highly recommend her for anyone who is wanting to learn German!”

“Our son wanted to learn German as his language for high school. Sabine Demetz came highly recommended from a fellow homeschool family. Our son has been taking lessons with Sabine for the past year and a half. She makes learning fun while challenging him and pushing him to the next level. Sabine comes prepared for her lessons and she is able to bring out the passion in her students. Great teachers form strong relationships with their students, are enthusiastic, dedicated, engage students in learning and show them they care about them as people. Sabine is one of those gems. She is truly a great teacher.”
