*required field

He helped me during 18 months in intensive individual training at Goethe to improve my language skills considerably. He is a pleasant person to work with, highly interested in your well-being and at the same time very demanding and really puts you at work. He is very sharp on the progress you make and is brutally frank when you make mistakes (normally Germans are so polite that they would not correct you, especially when you’re the boss..). Finally, it is really helpful that Michael uses your day to day experience to make your learning faster and more relevant to your everyday life.

I recommend Michael highly, and wish him all the best in building his own company based on his unique skills.

With regards to his teaching, Mr. Ruebenach is extremely knowledgeable in the language and its intricacies, detail-oriented and extremely competent. His excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, allow him to connect with people and to inspire them to provide their best effort. He has excellent rapport with students of all ages, having taught young graduates to older professionals like myself and every age in between.

Not only is Michael a great teacher, he is an outstanding guide for those coming to a new country and looking to adapt quickly to their new environment. He has an in-depth understanding of the complex and fascinating interactions among language, culture and society. As Consul for Canada in Germany, I had to interact with senior officials both from the political and the business circles. Michael was key in identifying the key cultural savoir-faire including values, beliefs, behaviors and local practices in order to skillfully guide me in my interactions with my German colleagues. Needless to say that it was an immense pleasure to work with Michael. His personality and creativity made every session extremely enjoyable and something to look forward to every week. In summary, I highly recommend Michael for any position or endeavor that he may seek to pursue. He will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to any organization.
