HALO-SCHOOL-BERLIN Reviews 

I have completed my A1 and A2 course from the halo school within 4 months. The schedule is very flexible and small group, only 4 members that made the classes more focused

I did my B1 and B2 course at Halo School and I am really satisfied & happy with this school. They offer you special customized teaching with 3-5 students in per group, which is very effective. They focus on speaking & communication and that helped me get my first job in Germany. They trained me with attending the interviews with confidence in German. They did specialized mock interviews and training with relevant questions for the concerned role. It was really helpful in cracking the interview smoothly, without fear. I am really thankful to Halo School for helping me get through the interview process smoothly. Since my joining at Halo School, my confidence in speaking in German has always improved. I highly recommend this school for everyone who is looking for flexible, cost effective and professional German courses.

Thanks to its phenomenal instructors, this language school offers an outstanding opportunity to enhance your language skills in an intimate, supportive, and inspiring environment. Kirsty and Ralph are fantastic educators, passionate about helping students achieve their unique language goals. They have an innate ability to simplify intricate grammar rules and vocabulary, making learning enjoyable. The atmosphere is always positive, encouraging, and supportive, which further facilitates learning.

One of the most notable aspects of Halo School is its flexibility. Regardless of your schedule, this school caters to your needs with a range of classes and scheduling options that make language learning convenient and hassle-free. The classes are taught in small groups, creating a personalized atmosphere where students can receive individual attention and feel comfortable to participate and engage in every lesson.

I wholeheartedly recommend Halo School to anyone seeking to improve their language skills. With affordable pricing, flexible scheduling, fantastic instructors, and an inspiring learning environment, this language school offers an unparalleled learning experience that caters to language learners of all levels.

Being an architect here in Berlin, I started learning A1 at halo school. The classroom is well lit and ventilated and easily accessible by public transport. I was very nervous starting with language but the head teacher is very approachable and helped me getting comfortable. Well structured program with focus on speaking confidently. Within just 3 weeks I was able make a presentation about myself and my work in German. The overall atmosphere is lively as you will be interacting with other students, one can instantly feel at home. I highly recommend this.

I joined the school because I needed to very rapidly upgrade my German in order to pass an upcoming exam. HALO school gave me the most personalized, professional, and well planned study program that fit my personal needs and helped me achieve my goals in fantastic time. I have reached my exam day prepared for all aspect of it, from vocabulary, through grammar, to techniques of approaching exams and overcoming meine Prüfungsangst :)

I have struggled with the German language for many years, never getting to grips with the first steps. Not all of us learn the same. My setbacks were finally overcome with the school's knowledgeable staff and noteworthy pedagogic approach.

Not only is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere a unique and refreshing experience, it is combined with high professionalism and attention to details, based on what certainly feels like years of experience.

Overall, HALO school provides a superb learning experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it, and thank Herr Kappler and the rest of the school for an enjoyable and rewarding time!

I have been attending classes at Halo school for the last 3 months, and I can say, an extremely pleasing experience. The product that Ralph delivers is a unique one, where one can learn through a tailormade teaching program focusing on weaknesses and required areas of development while satisfying the specific course level material. All of that at one’s own preferable time schedule and through small groups that allow effective learning and extensive communication, of course in German, which I found extremely useful. Again, thank you Ralph for your efforts and sincerity and I hope to continue the journey with Halo in the new year.

I have been attending Halo school for two months and am very happy with the results. I am very lucky to have Ralph as a teacher as he constantly provides the needed guidance to improve one's language skills. I have been to a number of schools in the past but none have helped me as much as Halo school. At Halo, I gained the confidence to speak German effectively. Ralph is full of humor and is very dedicated to the betterment of his students. The best part about the school is that it offers very flexible solutions for working professionals. The school has a very comfortable setting with a lovely cafeteria to spend time. I recommend Halo school to anyone who is tired of boring lessons and non flexible teachers from other schools.

I reached through the individual German language instruction level B1 (TELC) in a very short time.
From my own experience I can say that the approach of Professor Kappler and his teaching assistants in teaching German is unique and extremely professional.
After completing the lessons I received excellent skills in verbal communication and can express myself grammatically correctly in all written forms.

I also had the opportunity to participate in the highly organized Digital German language workshops on topics: Innovation & Design Thinking and Social Media Marketing organized by HALO SCHOOL BERLIN and their business partner digi-forge.com

I look forward to the next Events in their organization.

Warmly recommend HALO SCHOOL BERLIN

In 2019, I sang with the Berlin Opera Academy, a prestigious international opera school with participants from over 30 countries from around the world. As part of the training, we were required to take German classes. Upon meeting Ralph Kappler and his staff from the Halo School, I was immediately impressed with the way this small and finely tailored German language school operates. The teachers traveled an hour out of their way each day to offer their lessons to us singers. They also adapted their coursework to best suit the special professional needs of the students of the BOA program. We worked quite a bit with German Lieder texts and poetry, as well as having the chance to sing in German for the group. It was particularly helpful for us because German is a rather difficult language to pronounce. I stand behind my 5-star rating of this program because of their immense friendliness, flexibility, punctuality, and the attention the staff pays to the individual needs of each student. Lastly, the Halo School is unique in that it caters to and attracts highly interesting and diverse pupils.

I would highly recommend HALO school to learn a new language! I learnt German there and partook in 1:1 classes as well as group conversational classes. The teachers are dedicated, well-organised, flexible and highly motivating. Classwork is interesting and catered towards language you will actually use. After just one month with HALO school I was excited to notice my German was improving very quickly- for me this was highly motivating. As an expat from Australia it was also lovely to meet many friendly students in the group classes. 10/10.

My experience has been wonderful ... I was able to start classes the next day after I inquired in early March, and have had daily classes that soon moved to online. Although I prefer in-person classes, the online switch has gone well, and I'm grateful we can still have classes during this time. I am learning quickly, and Ralph gives me a variety of interesting challenges, including finding songs and poems to translate, and encourages me to keep a daily journal in German. His positive attitude and passion for language learning is inspiring, and his encouragement to say "Ich lerne Deutsch" instead of "Sprechen Sie Englisch?" has helped me to have more of a chance to speak German in shops and asking for directions.

HALO-SCHOOL-BERLIN
The place to go, when you want to learn fast with a good atmosphere. The school offers E-teaching and private classes as well, so I can study private on the other side of the Globe.
As an opera-singer I cannot express the importance of learning German. Today Germany is the center of the Opera, and looking for a job without mastering the German language is more or less impossible. I have been on-off the study for a year, and it is always a joy to come back to Hr. Ralph Kappler and his wonderful team for more lessons. I can only recommend this school to everybody who are looking for a school to learn German.

I studied German with Halo School Berlin, in August 2018. I highly recommend this wonderful School, it is a really supportive learning environment, tailor made to each individual student.

I've been a student at Halo school for a few months now. The classes are tailored to your level and need, and are a lot of fun. The teachers are patient and flexible. I have seen a huge improvement in my German since starting! I highly recommend Halo School for anyone wanting to learn German in the Berlin area.
