Student Testimonials

This Is My Third Year Taking A German Class With Tri-State German American School.  Fortunately, I Have Had Mr. Manoff Every Year.  He Is An Excellent Instructor.  His Classes Are Very Interesting And Enjoyable, And I Highly Recommend Him To Anyone Thinking About Starting To Learn The German Language.  Another Aspect Of This Class Is That The Students Are All Very Friendly And Helpful With Each Other.  It Is An Ideal Learning Experience.

I Am Participating For The First Time As A Student In Your School This Session. I Am A Senior Citizen. My Son Found Your School For Me As He Knows I Really Like Learning More German. In My Opinion Your School Has A Well-Organized Program And I Find It Very Professional, As Well.
I Know Having To Present Your Subject Matter On-Line Is Especially Challenging, But You Have Handled These Challenges Quite Well. I Find, As Well, That Your Teaching Staff Is Very Knowledgeable And Does A More Than Satisfactory Job Presenting The Material To The Students.
I Am More Than Satisfied As A Participant In Your School.

I’ve Been Taking Classes At The Tri-State German-American School For About Five Years, And The Experience Has Really Helped Me Improve My Speaking And Comprehension. The Instructors Are Always Ready And Willing To Explain Tricky Grammatical Points.

I Am A 4th Year Student At The Tri-State German- American School, And Have Been In Rick Manoff’s Class Since The Beginning. Not Only Has My Learning Progressed Nicely Each Year, But My Classmates And I Have Enjoyed Numerous Social Gatherings.
Herr Manoff Is An Adept And Patient Teacher, And His Laid-Back And Thoughtful Approach Makes Our Classes Both Interesting And Productive. I Look Forward To Continuing My Association With The School.

We Joined The Tri-State German- American School In The Fall Of 2011. In Total We Have Studied With TSGAS For 6 Years.  The School Has Provided The Community And Intellectual Support We Have Needed To Learn To Speak, Write And Read German. The Education We Have Received From TSGAS Has Enabled Us To Buy Our Dream House In Germany And Live There Half Time.
Online Classes Have Been Terrific For Saturday Mornings. The Faculty Is Always Top-Notch! They Are Well-Trained And Incredibly Experienced.
We Are So Grateful That Such A Well-Run School Has Always Been There For Us.
