I had a very disappointing experience…Professional teacher, but unprofessional and hostile management
I had a very disappointing experience with Wilhelm Schule. I joined their German course and was initially very happy—the teacher was highly professional, and the first lesson was excellent. However, everything collapsed due to the administration's shocking behavior.Before starting, I explicitly informed the managers that I do not use Telegram for privacy reasons. They agreed to this. Yet, after the first weekend, the Executive Director, Svitlana Sokolenko, intervened with a passive-aggressive ultimatum: either I use Telegram or I leave. Despite my suggestions for a compromise (like getting homework info from classmates), I was unilaterally expelled from the course without my consent.It is worth noting that despite attending classes and paying in full, I was never provided with a formal contract to sign. Furthermore, the refund I received was incomplete—I paid 5508 UAH via dszentrum.com, but only 5400 UAH was returned. Forcing a student to cover transaction costs after the school unilaterally breaks an agreement is unacceptable.It is a shame that such talented teachers are represented by management that lacks basic respect for students and their privacy. If you value professional communication and your digital security, avoid this school.
