Frequently asked
-
Do you offer a free intro call?
Yes — every new client gets a free 15-minute intro call so we can align on goals before committing to anything.
-
How long does it take to feel confident in German?
It depends on your goals, but most students reach conversational fluency (B1) within 8–12 months of weekly lessons.
-
What kinds of copy editing do you take on?
Non-fiction writing — articles, newsletters, websites, flyers, books. I’m at my best with business and travel writing thanks to my background in tourism and organisational communication.
-
What do your services cost?
Rates depend on the project. Book the intro call (German) or send a sample (copy editing) and I’ll come back with a quote.
-
Where are you based, and what time zones do you work with?
I’m based in South Africa (CAT, UTC+2). I work with clients across Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Most lessons fit into evening or morning slots that work for both sides.
-
Do you take on rush copy-editing jobs?
Sometimes yes — depends on my current schedule. Send the deadline along with your draft and I’ll tell you straight if I can hit it.
-
What’s the cancellation policy for German lessons?
Free rescheduling with 24 hours’ notice. Inside 24 hours, the session is charged but I’ll do my best to accommodate the next request.

Copy editing vs. proofreading: which do you actually need?

Finding your confidence in German
The hardest part of learning German isn’t grammar — it’s speaking. Small habits that turn fear into curiosity.
