Reviews for Goethe-Zertifikat B2

Loved:

The proctors were absolutely wonderful! They made the testing experience - which is arduous and stressful - so much more pleasant than I ever could have imagined it to be. I appreciated their kindness and attentiveness for whatever I needed. Would love to give my thanks to them yet again for everything they did - I could not have asked for a better experience.

Improvements:

Making sure other attendees of the school/society are aware that testing is in progress when it's happening - there were some disturbances due to people showing up for GTHS activities (these were handled with the utmost professionalism and understanding by the proctors).

Loved:

It wasn't super professional which allowed it to have a chill non anxious environment. We also got to talk amongst one another and it was fun.

Improvements:

I'm not sure.

Birgitt taught us how to make a variety of different authentic German dishes. She was patient and took her time to make sure everyone was successful and enjoyed their food.

Henrike B.

My name is Henrike Belz, I’m a native German speaker, mother of three adult „kids”, and living here in Austin since 2004. I’m teaching mainly adults at all levels (A1-C1) and all ages (16 - 86!), in person and, since the pandemic hit, online as well. Beyond that, I’m a certified Prüferin for the Goethe Exams, which is a very humbling experience. When I’m not teaching, I most often will be found in my wildlife habitat at home, gardening ‘til sunset, saving the environment one plant at a time.

Rita G.

I am a native speaker, born in a tiny town in Saxony, and moved to Austin in 2006. In fall of 2018 I began working for GTHS as an Assistant Teacher at Samstagsschule. These days I teach mostly adults in beginning levels. I like to point out the many similarities between English and German, show that not everything is hard and new, which my students find reassuring.
