We’ve had a wonderful experience with Mr. Shyam as our son’s German teacher. He is incredibly patient, kind, and engaging, which is so important when teaching a young child. Our seven-year-old looks forward to every lesson and is always excited to share what he’s learned. What stands out the most is his ability to make learning fun while still being structured and effective. He uses age-appropriate materials and always finds creative ways to keep him interested through songs, games, and interactive activities. Since starting lessons with Mr. Shyam, our son's confidence in speaking and understanding German has grown tremendously. We are so grateful for his dedication and the positive impact he’s had on his language learning journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm and professional German teacher for children!

I am incredibly grateful to my tutor, Shyam, on Preply for his exceptional teaching and dedication. His lessons were always well-prepared, interactive, and customized to suit my learning needs and pace. Shyam patiently explained concepts, answered all my questions, and ensured I understood everything thoroughly. What truly stood out was Shyam's ability to make learning enjoyable and motivating, which played a significant role in helping me pass my A1 level.
