It was really inspiring to see Doreen's commitment to deliver a world class training. I had the pleasure of working with Doreen Blask in the autumn of 2015 when I moved to Sweden with my family as a Bulgarian expatriate, leading the financial team of Coca-Cola Enterprises. I and my wife were very lucky to have her as our Intercultural trainer. In our work together I appreciated mostly the efforts Doreen made to research and deliver adjusted to our specific needs training materials and presentations. Delivering a unique training in order to satisfy customers' requirements from my perspective should be one of the most valued behaviours in this type of business. Doreen has gone the extra mile providing me and my wife Svetlana (on top of the intercultural training) with invaluable advice and introduction to the Swedish Healthcare System with focus on pregnancy and child care (we were expecting our first child at that time). We were really enjoying the positive and engaging atmosphere Doreen was creating. As an intercultural trainer and teacher, Doreen earns my highest recommendation.

Doreen is one of a kind and by far my favorite teacher ever. I admire here patience and pedagogic way of teaching. Having her multi cultural experience has been a true gift for language training and relocation advice moving to a new country with my family.

Prior to starting my assignment in China, I had the possibility to get a short and intensive intercultural training through Doreen. Her dedication to the task and her insights gave me valuable knowledge for which I am thankful. Doreen is an ambitious, energetic individual with broad international experience, especially in the field of her expertise i.e. Chinese culture, Chinese mindset and the do's and dont's of the Great Dragon.

Besides being a fantastic and competent teacher Doreen also helped with organisational questions concerning my move to Austria (finding an apartment, communicating with estate agents...). She always provided the perfect solutions and materials for my needs and got the best out of me. She really makes learning fun! It was a great pleasure studying with her!

Doreen was my German language teacher for close to two years. She was very patient and although I started from a beginner's level we spent most of each course conversing in German. I progressed a lot and quickly through various exercises. I was a pleasure to learn German with Doreen and I appreciated very much her energy, very good communication skills and again displaying a lot of patience. I would happily recommend Doreen to anyone.

I have been taking German classes as a second language with Doreen throughout 2010-2011. I am very happy of the progress I have made in this language thanks to her. She managed to personalise her teaching in a way that best suited my skills and aptitudes, showing great pedagogical skills as well as innovation, and capacity of adaptation. I also valued her rich cultural background and multicultural experience. Through the year she showed great punctuality and reliability allowing me to have a steady and regular progression. I highly recommend her for this job.

I took German lessons with Doreen from February to August 2011 in Paris. Besides the usual qualities one expects from a language teacher (punctuality, motivation, knowledge of the subject, excellent teaching skills...), one of Doreen's main assets is her creativity and capacity to adapt to the trainee's needs. Also, she has a very interesting intercultural approach to language teaching, Being Brazilian myself, I was particularly interested in her views on Brazil and Brazilian people, but also on the Chinese culture. Finally, I was very satisfied with the progress I made during the period I studied German with her.
