David S.

"Learning German with Jens has been excellent. I’ve learned faster and gained more confidence in such a short period of time. In person or remote lessons have been really convenient. I can’t recommend highly enough."

Alisa B.

"I had an excellent experience learning German at Olesen Tution with Annika. As a complete beginner, I was initially hesitant to take online German classes, but Annika's teaching style made it easy to follow and understand. I was pleasantly surprised by the progress I made in a relatively short period of time, and I found the lessons to be well-structured, engaging and focused on practical usage of the language.
Annika is an excellent teacher who is supportive, encouraging, and knowledgeable. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the classes and would highly recommend Annika to anyone interested in learning German.

"Jens is an excellent tutor. I now work with Anja who is fantastic and makes a real effort to maximise the advantages of online German classes (for example using the chat to post corrections). Would 100% recommend working with Anja!"

Our German courses don't adhere to a term-based or fixed-week structure. Instead, they continue to progress from one level to another. Students work with us until they achieve their language goals, whether that means being conversational or even fluent in the language. 

​

If you're unsure about your current level of German, you can either take our German language level test or arrange a free assessment with us. Please note that while assessments are complimentary, you must commit to a trial class to secure your assessment slot.

Online German Courses- Learn German in London

Online German courses vs. in-person German classes in London

Some language learners are concerned that online German courses might be less effective than traditional in-person classes. Based on our first-hand experience as German tutors for many years, we are convinced that the medium of teaching is not the decisive factor when it comes to effectiveness. Our online German courses offer an immersive and interactive learning experience comparable to in-person classes. 

How we organise each German language course for optimal learning

In our German language courses, we prioritise an intimate class size to provide ample opportunities for honing spoken German and enhancing listening comprehension. Each session is designed to be engaging, striking a balance between enjoyable learning experiences and comprehensive language development. Structured around texts spanning various topics, our classes aim to enrich your vocabulary and bolster your confidence in the language. 

Recognising the pivotal role of grammar in language acquisition, we dedicate time in every session to cover essential topics. Starting with the foundational aspects of German word order, we delve into the intricacies of the four cases, prepositions, and adjective endings. Over the years, our grammar training has proven highly effective, earning our students commendations for their proficiency in German. Explore our German language blog "Auf Deutsch, bitte!" for a deeper insight into our teaching methodology and grammar explanations, including our tips on how to learn German properly. Further details about our approach are available on our website.

Reviews of our German classes London

Lucie D.

"Jens is an amazing teacher, very passionate and enthusiastic, and always happy to answer your questions. I started the course 3 months before moving to Berlin and I am now using everything we have learned, it has been so useful!"

Laura K.

"Attended the group classes for about a year before moving to Berlin and it was the best decision ever. I'm now able to find my way around and I can easily build on the knowledge I already have. Doing evening classes can be tough sometimes but it was always fun with Jens as he has a great attitude towards teaching and he always has his inventive ways how to exlain the grammar. Thanks, Jens!"

Rueben C.

"Jens is a brilliant teacher. Knowledgable yet funny, professional yet easygoing. He actually makes learning German fun! I only had lessons for a few months before moving to Germany. However, in that time Jens helped me build a solid foundation in German. If my next tutor is half as good as Jens I'll be happy."
