"Best teachers I've ever seen!"

Marinela Oboroceanu, student from Germany

I liked:
1. The teachers are extraordinary: they correct us, they are very patience, definitely experienced with all levels of students;
2. The place was good for eye contact in free dialog between students, clean, worm and close to Bahnhof which is really important;
3. Activities in course: complete menu (listening, reading, writing and free dialog);


I didn't like:
The mix between 2 levels of students too far away from each other in knowledge.
I would split our group in 2 categories: students that still struggle to read and pronounce the basics with much effort and students that can improve significantly with the right speed and just need more practice and more vocabulary.

Until now (when all of us got into the new module: A2.1), everybody had to wait for the same explanations on some basic topics over and over, seminars in row, which is definitely decreasing the productivity of some of us. If I miss 3 lessions in row and I come back, I don"t fell like i missed a lot of information.

I like the tolerance of teachers with all of us, but a better split among us as students would help a few people going further much faster than is happening now.

"Fun class"

Valeria Haro, student from Germany

FOKUS is a great school. It is easy to get to by train, and the train stop is right across the street from the school. The staff is friendly and nice. The teacher has been wonderful. She explains everything in detail and always includes a "cultural moment" in her class and that makes her class stand out!

"Helpful early on, but becomes slow."

Abhinav Sinha, student from Germany

I was a little tentative early on, because I had enrolled in a beginner's class which had already started. However, I was able to adapt well and my teacher was quite helpful. She was very detailed in explaining grammatical rules and I enjoyed attending her classes.
I found that after a while, I was a little ahead in my class, and unfortunately, there were no other classes at a time that would be suitable for me. I also found that even at late stages of the course, new students were being added. This provided a very constructive atmosphere in the classroom, however, the classes became very slow for my liking.

I also found that it is not very easy to apply for days off. There is no scope of an additional class if you are unable to submit the vacation schedule well in advance. This was troublesome for me as I knew I would be unable to attend a class the next day, but since the school wasn't very close, I tried to call and check if I could take the day off. I was informed that it would still be counted as a regular class for me.

I understand that it is the school's policy, however, it can become difficult for working professionals.

Overall, I did enjoy most of my classes in this school and I would like to praise my teacher there, who helped me in every way.

"Ganz tolle Sprachschule!"

Fumihiko Ito, student from Germany

Our teacher was very good. Her explanations were very clear. My class had seven participants. That's too much for me because I want to talk more. If there was a free working space, I could learn by myself. Otherwise I am satisfied.
