Our school is an independent International Language School, directed by Oliver Lechmlair. We are part of the Tandem Network of quality language schools around the world supporting individual, autonomous language learning through partnership. Our goal is to enable people from different backgrounds to meet and understand each other.
We place a special emphasis on using efficient and creative teaching methods while remaining flexible and open to the wishes and needs of our students. We use the most professional teaching methods, the motto of our qualified teachers is: learning German should be fun! Small groups, communicative lessons, friendly and pleasant atmosphere at our school will make it a pleasure for you to learn.
And so that you come into close contact with the German language and culture outside the classroom, we will provide you with a full cultural program, private accommodation and a so-called Tandem: Enjoy the wide variety of cultural activities on offer, live with people from Cologne for a couple of weeks, and discover with your partner from our school the secrets of this fascinating city at the heart of Europe!
