Boehl GmbH, Hückeswagen

We came into contact with Ms Webb dut to a recommendation from Ridder, another company which like us is a part of the ITW group ...

The courses consisted of technical and office workers with different levels of English knowledge. Both courses were avidly attended by our employees and progress could be ascertained after only a short time. She even managed to teach the English language to the "most difficult of cases" owing to her friendly and affable manner, her good didactical abilities and her English humour.

The lessons were always varied and interesting and the material was always practical and conveyed in a disciplined and determined, yet relaxed manner. Furthermore, she was a great help with the preparation for an LCCI course as a billingual secretary.

She also worked for us as a translator for technical texts and operating manuals, as well as English presentations. Also here she worked in a practical, good, fast and reliable manner.

She was an enrichment for our companyand was equally valued by management and employees. We are very sorry that we are no longer able to continue with the training due to company decisions made. Nevertheless, we will continue to trust her with our translations in the future. We can stongly recommend the training with Ms Webb.

We wish her all the best for the future and thank you for the nice time.
