Dr. Rolf Aderhold

I will equip you within eight weeks with the language skills required for your career. The focus is on your success, not on a fixed curriculum.

  • Use the contact form to arrange an appointment. In an initial consultation (up to 90 minutes), we will clarify your specific needs.
  • You are also welcome to share your concrete goals and expectations in advance.
  • In all cases, you will subsequently receive a written proposal tailored precisely to your requirements. The course runs for eight weeks—no longer.
