Mr. Heilgeist is one of the best German teachers and doctors I have ever met. He helped me wonderfully to prepare for the FSP. He explained the structure of the doctor’s letter to me perfectly. Working with him improved both my general and medical German.
While studying with him, I felt like I was studying medicine again. He refreshed all my medical knowledge in 2 weeks. […]
We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot during the lessons. I was very lucky to meet Dr. Frank Heilgeist.
