Daria is a very enthusiastic teacher who makes learning German fun. She takes advantage of the lesson’s context to encourage personal discussions. Together we covered subjects ranging from cultural experiences, to current affairs, to global concerns, as well as social and cultural events. Her lessons were always stimulating and the atmosphere relaxed yet professional.

Earlier this year I decided to take Daria's course: Preparation for Swiss Nationality 2: Swiss History, Politics, Culture / Advanced...best decision! I can confidently say that experiencing this course with Daria exceeded my expectations. Daria is a resourceful, motivational, well rounded and knowledgable teacher. She uses a variety of tools and engaging visuals tailoring her methods to how her student learns best. She uses the allocated time in a structured efficient and fun manner covering each topic thoroughly. She follows up with emails suggesting links, reading material and other recommendations to further improve and encourage understanding. After completing the course, I felt like I had a wealth of information allowing me to step into the citizenship exam with confidence. I really enjoyed Daria's course, it was so rich in information that each lesson made me realize how much more there is to learn and discover. I can only recommend this course to anyone wishing to take a similar yet unique learning journey, whether for the citizenship exam or simply to further discover, understand and appreciate beautiful Switzerland.
I have recently completed a set of intensive German lessons with Daria (A1 level). Daria is a great teacher, very motivating and patient. Her lessons are very engaging, she alternates the use of traditional study books with self made videos about the art and culture in Basel. The lessons include conversations, reading, listening and watching videos, which make learning very interesting and dynamic. Daria also showed me to a lot of useful online learning materials, which nicely complemented the lessons and helped me to improve even faster. I am very happy of the progress I made in few months, thank you Daria! I can definitely recommend German Classes Basel!
I'm from San Francisco and have been taking German classes from Daria for 6 months now. She's taken me from zero to a reasonable level of reading and speaking ability in a relatively short amount of time! I noticed large improvement in reading comprehension by even the third class. She's an excellent listener and more than willing to adapt to a learning style that suits you. Through spoken everyday conversation, videos, hypothetical scenarios, and classical bookwork, it was clear that Daria has been teaching German for a long time and loves what she does. She's also very knowledgeable about the city and especially in the arts, -- this cultural aspect is a real bonus! I catch myself getting so immersed in the cultural dialogue that I derail some of the classes. :) If you're looking for a guide and mentor on all things Switzerland and the German language, I highly recommend Frau Kolacka! My professional schedule is demanding and I'm highly appreciative of Daria's consistent willingness to accommodate my learning.
It was a great pleasure to have German classes with Daria. Aim of our personally adjusted classes, was to improve my written German and correct the mistakes in spoken German. Thank you Daria for your help and for your approach.
Best German lessons I had so far! Daria has a fun and pleasant teaching style. She prepares the lessons with interesting topics that motivate to learn and practice German. Daria also offered extra activities free of charge with her students to further practice German, e.g. city walks and movie evenings. This allowed me to improve my German level almost without noticing. I started German lessons with Daria in 2016 to prepare for the Swiss citizenship application process. I successfully passed the German test and recently did the same with the Swiss citizenship interview! I totally recommend learning German with Daria!
I recently concluded a set of German lessons with Daria, in preparation for my German B1 exam and also prior to that in 2018 for preparation for the Swiss Nationality application. Daria is an excellent teacher, who clearly leads the course and learning experience in a very structured way, which prepared me excellently for the exam. Furthermore, Daria is very dynamic and keeps lessons interesting, and uses not only books but media tools too. I highly recommend Daria as a German teacher.
Daria is a fantastic teacher and flexible in her teaching style. Her willingness to focus the classes on her student's interests was a major factor in my choosing German Classes Basel and it was a great decision! Her studio is conveniently located and she is easy to communicate with. I highly recommend language classes at German Classes Basel.
