  • Susan (German and Swiss German student)
    "What would you do, if you could find a teacher who was able to make learning German a pleasure?  If she explained the grammar in a way that made sense?  If she tailored your lessons to suit your needs exactly?  If you never felt you should be learning faster or remembering more than you can?  If you could look forward to every lesson, knowing the time would by fly without a boring moment?  You would probably call her immediately to arrange to meet her.  Her name is Lianne Fatzer and her number is 076 587 3060.  Viel Spass!"


  • Marcus (Deutsch Schüler)
    “My experience of learning Hoch-Deutsch with Lianne has been a positive one. She is knowledgeable, patient and lots of fun. She formulized a curriculum that targeted on my end goal which was more conversational German and grammar. Because she went through the same experience of learning High German and Swiss German as an English speaking Expat, I found that she picked up on my frustrations and confusions very quickly and encouraged me a lot more. As a result of her classes, I have had more confidence in speaking German and my understanding (listening, grammar and vocabulary skills) have improved immensely.“

  • Stephanie (German student - Skype)
    "Lianne is exactly the kind of person you want teaching you the German language.  She knows what you are trying to say and always explains grammar and syntax from a perspective to make you understand.  Her lessons are varied and interesting and I am constantly learning something new.  Our hour together always seems to go by too fast and I look forward to our sessions.  I only wish I could converse with her more often."


  • Peggy (German student)
    "I enjoy working with you and feel your teaching style has been very effective.  I want to thank you for being such a wonderful and supportive teacher."

  • Norman (Deutsch Schüler)
    "I appreciate the effort and patience you have shown and I am making progress (in German).  Your teaching skills and lesson preparation are excellent.  Thank you, Lianne."

  • Pedro (Schweizerdeutsch)
    "I started with Lianne with little knowledge of Swiss German but within a few months my understanding was dramatically improved and I even found the confidence to speak with my Swiss colleagues at work! Very supportive and patient. Many thanks Lianne."

  • Patricia (English student - exam preparation)
    "Lianne is a very nice person.  She is every time happy and ambitious.  She can always help me if I don't understand something.  She has always good ideas." (Her own words.)

 

  • Christine and Adriano (English students - conversation English)
    "Lianne is a professional English teacher.  She gave us personalised lessons that match our level of English, so we've improved our knowledge in a short time.  We have particularly appreciated her availability and efficiency."  (Their own words.)
