Tandem

TANDEM language school is located in the Südstatt area in the centre of Cologne. Ten minutes by underground from the central train station, it is a lively, cosmopolitan district with parks, a walking path along the banks of the Rhine, shops, bars and restaurants. The school occupies a magnificently renovated former monastery, where you will immediately feel at ease as the beautiful light filters through the large bay windows. The school contains 9 spacious classrooms and a small, pleasant garden in the courtyard. An open study area and a kitchen where tea, coffee and non-alcoholic drinks are offered free of charge will make students feel right at home. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. The motivated, qualified instructors teach German with dynamic, tailor-made lessons. Here, learning the language of Goethe is a pleasure! During summer, the school uses additional buildings in order to meet the demand for its complementary summer courses.
