The document describes a student's experience taking German language lessons with a tutor named Frau Henny to prepare for the TestDaF exam. The student found Frau Henny on Twitter in 2011 and had weekly 2-hour lessons, which increased to 2-3 times a week in early 2012. Through focused practice of grammar, vocabulary and TestDaF exam papers, the student was able to pass the exam in June 2012 and gain admission to a German university program. The student credits Frau Henny's patient, clear teaching style and extensive lesson materials for their dramatic German language improvement and ability to pass the exam on the first attempt. The student recommends Frau Henny to others looking to study in Germany.

Deutsch Einfach’s
twitter account and
decided to check out
her website.

the TestDaF test by
mid 2012.

deciding to give this
tutor a try because
she lives quite close
to my home and
she’s a graduate from
Germany.

few text messages
and agreeing on a
time, we started
having lessons once a

that, I decided to
take a break because
I was too busy
working on my
Bachelor degree’s
thesis.

I continued my
lessons with her, this
time increasing our
weekly meetings to
2-3 times a week at 2
