We offer specialised courses for adult learners as well as children and teenagers.

“ Jens is a wonderful German teacher, he's very good at explaining things in a straightforward way and the small class sizes mean you get a lot out of each session. I really enjoyed his B1 course (and I passed my B1 exam at the end of it!).”

Option 2

If you're looking to learn German fast, then our 10-day intensive German courses are most suitable for you. They consist of ten 90-minute classes on each day of the course. The rate includes Zoom recordings of all sessions for your revision after class. Upon completing the course, you will have moved up half a language proficiency level, from A1.1 to A1.2 or A1.2 to A2. etc. You'll also receive an attendance certificate if you participate in every class. If you cannot devote as much time to improving your German, but would still like to make rapid progress, our 5-day intensive courses are a great alternative for you.

How do I choose the intensive course that is best for me?

If you are an absolute beginner and have never studied German, you can sign up for any of our beginner German courses. If you have studied German before and know your current level, you can choose from one of the 10-day intensive courses below and pick the classes that suit you best. Any of the listed courses can be combined. We carefully monitor each student's progress, so even if you choose classes taught by different teachers, our small team will ensure that your chosen classes form a coherent course without unnecessary repetition.

If you're unsure of your current language proficiency level, you can take our German language level test or arrange a free assessment with us. And if you cannot find a course at your level or time that suits you, contact us to express your interest and join our waiting list.

Our Intensive German Courses

Frequently asked questions about our intensive German courses

What can I expect from an intensive German course for adults in London?

An intensive German course for adults focuses on rapid skill development in a short time. In each class, you will discuss various topics to expand your vocabulary and confidence, and you’ll cover at least one important German grammar point. Classes are kept interactive and small (typically 4–7 adult learners) so that everyone participates and receives personal feedback.

Do you offer intensive German courses online?

Yes, we offer online intensive German courses and hybrid courses, which can be taken in person at our Hampstead office or online. So whether you prefer to learn German online or in person, we have the right course for you. Click on the course options below for more information.

Do you offer intensive German courses for children in London?

Yes. We offer intensive German courses tailored for children during school holidays. These courses are short (usually five or ten days long) and scheduled in half-term breaks so kids can make quick progress without missing school. Lessons are age-appropriate and engaging – we incorporate fun activities and games to make learning German enjoyable and effective for young learners.

 

Do you offer an intensive GCSE German summer course in London?

Yes. We run intensive GCSE German revision courses during school breaks, including summer holidays. These courses usually last one or two weeks and are designed to boost a student’s exam performance, covering the GCSE syllabus content, practising past exam papers, and reinforcing key grammar and vocabulary needed for a top grade. By the end of the course, students gain confidence and thorough preparation for their GCSE German exams.

 

Do you offer intensive A-level German revision courses in London?

Yes. We also provide intensive A-level German revision courses, typically during school holidays (for example, in summer or half-term breaks). These courses focus on preparing students for A-level exams – reviewing advanced topics from the A-level syllabus, honing exam techniques, and practising with past papers under the guidance of expert tutors. The aim is to refine students’ German skills and exam strategies so they can excel in their A-level German exams.

 

How are intensive German courses structured?

Our intensive courses are short and focused. They are usually offered in two formats: a 5-day course (one week) or a 10-day course (two weeks). In a typical 10-day intensive course, you attend a 90-minute German class each day. This daily immersion over a week or two helps you learn consistently and quickly. (For those who can’t commit to two weeks, the 5-day intensive option provides a similar accelerated learning experience in a shorter time frame.)

 

Are intensive German courses suitable for beginners and advanced learners?

Yes – intensive courses are available for all levels, from complete beginners (A1 level) to advanced speakers (C1 level). You will be able to choose a course that matches your current ability. If you’re an absolute beginner, you can start with an A1.1 beginner intensive class, while more experienced learners can join higher-level courses. This way, everyone from beginners to advanced students can benefit from the intensive format.

 

How quickly can I improve my German with an intensive course?

Intensive courses are designed to help you make significant progress in a short period. Many students find that a 10-day intensive course can raise their proficiency by roughly half of a CEFR level (for example, from A1.1 up to A1.2). By immersing you in German daily and covering a lot of material in each session, these courses quickly build your skills and confidence. Of course, individual results vary, but you can expect to see a noticeable improvement in your understanding and communication after an intensive course.

 

Are intensive German courses available in the evenings or on weekends?

Yes – we offer intensive German classes at various times to fit different schedules. Some intensive courses are held on weekday mornings or afternoons, and others are scheduled for evenings or weekends. This flexibility means you can likely find a course time that suits your needs, whether you want to study after work or prefer weekend sessions.

 

How many students are in an intensive German class?

Our intensive classes are kept very small. Typically, only about 4 to 7 students are in each intensive German class. This small group size ensures you’ll get plenty of individual attention from the instructor. You’ll have many opportunities to speak, ask questions, and receive feedback in every session, which helps you learn more effectively.

 

How do adult intensive German courses differ from GCSE or A-level revision courses?

Adult intensive courses focus on general language development – they emphasise practical communication skills, with lots of conversation practice, reading on everyday topics, and thorough grammar instruction for real-world use. In contrast, the GCSE and A-level intensive courses are geared toward exam preparation. These student revision courses concentrate on the specific exam curricula and skills: covering exam-relevant topics, drilling past exam questions, and teaching test-taking strategies and techniques to achieve top marks in the exams. In short, adult courses aim to build overall fluency for personal or professional use, whereas GCSE/A-level courses target success in school examinations.

Emma F.

"We couldn't have hoped for a better learning environment. The small class sizes mean that everyone gets to interact and get feedback from the teacher. We started off as total beginners with Jens (the founder) and continued through to B1 level with Anja as teachers. Both were great to learn from and we really appreciated the time Anja takes to make students confident speakers through exercises and conversations as well as taking us through grammar and vocabulary."

Lucie D.

"Jens is an amazing teacher, very passionate and enthusiastic, and always happy to answer your questions. I started the course 3 months before moving to Berlin and I am now using everything we have learned, it has been so useful!"

Rueben C.

"Jens is a brilliant teacher. Knowledgable yet funny, professional yet easygoing. He actually makes learning German fun! I only had lessons for a few months before moving to Germany. However, in that time Jens helped me build a solid foundation in German. If my next tutor is half as good as Jens I'll be happy."
