I took a month-long online German Telc B2 Test Preparation course taught by Helga, with 3 other students from diverse backgrounds. It was just like being in a live classroom. She brought us through the different sections of the test with realistic simulations, focused on the areas where each student was weakest, and provided helpful tips without which I could not have passed the test. A major portion of passing the 82 Tele test is understanding the test format and especially how Germans phrase questions, how Germans think. Helga explained these things well during the simulations. In addition, we had lots of opportunity to speak, which you need both for the test and for real life. With a good balance of appropriate correction and allowing students to just speak, Helga kept digital blackboard notes and made them available as extra and very practical material. I recommend Helga to anyone looking to improve their overall German ability.

Participé en un curso intensivo de alemán B2 el cual estuvo bajo la enseñanza de la mae:
Helga Kessinger-Hager. Las clases fueron impartidas via Online debido a la situación actual con la pandemia, sin embargo fueron de alta calidad, con una buena organización, excelente atención a cada alumno con buena resolución de dudas, y una dinámica fluida con la que se mantenía siempre la atención y se aseguraba la retención d
conceptos nuevos en cada clase.
Recomiendo ampliamente los cursos de alemán sean intensivos o de preparación para exámenes de certificación con la maestra Helga Kessinger-Hager.
