I have more than 10 years teaching experience as an instructor for German at college and community education level.

Saira K. from Los Angeles, CA
She is the most understanding, most patient tutor I have ever had. I have a brain injury and am dealing with multiple mental issues with a couple disabilities. She has worked with me to understand the material, and even when I struggle she makes me feel calm and confident that I can do it. I recommend her to anyone that needs an amazing tutor!
Brooke N. from Los Angeles, CA
I turned to Dorit's tutoring skills as a non-German speaker needing to memorize and perform German text. This was quite a task, and Dorit helped me achieve my goal! She was extremely helpful, patient, and flexible to work within the short window of time I had.
Christopher S. from Inglewood, CA
Dorit is an excellent tutor and most patient person. She is intelligent, warm and engaging and demonstrates both a diverse knowledge and passion for the language. As a beginning student of German, I appreciate her tailoring my lessons to fit my personality and very inquisitive nature. I am privileged to be working with her.
Eric R. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
This was my first lesson with Dorit and she was very professional and patient. She made me feel very comfortable as she guided her questions to suit my level of understanding. The hour passed by very quickly and I honestly felt at home communicating in German with her. Any mistakes that I made she helped to explain in German and corrected so smoothly that it was like visiting an old friend and sharing our stories. This was a total hour of learning pleasure and I cannot wait until the next lesson.
Justin J. from Stanford, CA
Dorit was an excellent tutor and helped get me through an independent study German course in a limited amount of time. She was easy to communicate with and always prompt for our lessons. Dorit is patient and very knowledgeable and help to build my confidence with a new language. She is highly recommended and I feel fortunate to have found her.
Beth S. from Sunnyvale, CA
Dorit tutored my 6th grade son in writing for about four months. What a change! Now he tackles writing assignments with confidence and works on them steadily. She was amazingly patient with him, particularly when he was stubborn. She explored his interests and encouraged him to write about them. I'm very impressed and will turn to Dorit again if he needs more help.
Ali L. from San Jose, CA
Dorit is an amazing instructor. She knows the material and is very knowledgeable. She takes you deep into the heart of the language and the American culture. Her ability to quickly adapt the material to your needs is exceptionally effective. She is truly a master and I love her methods and highly recommend her.
