"Excellent, uncomplicated, easy going, will go there again!"

Vera Maria Klingels

Uncomplicated and super fast answering my questions via email in German.
Very nice teacher, which progressed quickly. That I learn at home was assumed.
School is right in Xintiandi, opposite K11. So perfect to spend time there. Very touristy but nice. Metro, taxis, ... all within a minute.
Yes, I can only recommend.
I had a private course with Lauren and will be back at her next Shanghai trip for 10 hours.
Xiexie!
