Personal Description:

I am bilingual in German and English and live in Scotland with my husband and my two children. I love everything about teaching and enjoy coaching learners to achieve their full potential.
I love reading and studying and in my spare time I am doing all sorts of courses to learn something new.

Teaching Experience:

I am a qualified and GTC registered teacher for German and English for all levels at secondary school. I can teach English as a foreign language too! I have taught in Scottish schools for over 20 years and have tutored many youngsters to successful Higher, National 4 and 5 exams in English, German, French and Spanish.
I am a headteacher who is missing the thrill of teaching pupils to successful completion of qualifications.

Teaching Approach:

I use a variety of teaching methods to make sure that I take different needs and learning skills into account. I have a wide selection of revision materials for specific exams and make sure that tutorials are enjoyable and relaxed while at the same time making the best of the hour we spend together to help you be successful.

With the national qualifications leaving many parents wondering what it's all about, I can offer support and clarification for parents and pupils and make sure that learners are coached appropriately - with all the background knowledge I have as a former principal teacher for languages and a headteacher.
