Personal Description:
Welcome to my profile! I am an enthusiastic and experienced language teacher specialised in German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew. With a rich background in academia, I served as a university lecturer for seven years. Since 2018, I have dedicated myself to teaching German, Italian, Latin and Hebrew at all proficiency levels.
Teaching Experience:
**GCSE, A-Level & IB**
I am particularly skilled in preparing students for key examinations, including GCSE (National 5), A-Level (Higher) and IB across various boards such as AQA, EDEXCEL, SQA, and more. Over the past six years, I have successfully guided numerous pupils through these critical assessments.
**Professional Development and Personal Enrichment**
In addition to academic tutoring, I have collaborated with professionals seeking to enhance their language skills for career advancement or personal enrichment. My flexible scheduling approach accommodates the diverse needs of busy professionals, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
Teaching Approach:
**Customised Learning Approach**
Recognising that each learner is unique, I craft personalized lesson plans to align with individual goals and learning styles. I believe in a student-centred approach, allowing learners to progress at their own pace without the constraints of a rigid methodology.
**Assessment and Goal Setting**
Our journey begins with an initial assessment to gauge your current proficiency. Through conversation and a brief reading exercise, I quickly ascertain your starting level. This evaluation is crucial in developing a structured learning plan with clear milestones, which are particularly beneficial for GCSE/A-Level pupils. Regular goal setting fosters motivation and ensures efficient, cost-effective learning.
**Comprehensive Feedback and Support**
I am committed to providing continuous feedback and support throughout your language learning journey. Homework assignments are an integral part of the process, and I review and provide insights on the work submitted.
**Balanced Lesson Structure**
Each lesson is thoughtfully divided into three complementary segments:
1. Speaking and Listening - Enhancing conversational skills and auditory comprehension.
2. Grammar - Building a strong foundation in language structure.
3. Reading - Developing reading proficiency and comprehension.

Andrea's Feedback

"Andrea is a kind and helpful tutor whose lessons are really informative and I feel that I have made a lot of progress with him, not only speaking German but also getting to grips with grammar. His homeworks are targeted specifically towards my strengths and weaknesses so that my knowledge is consolidated and he always has time to answer any questions I have. Thank you!"
Andrea seems to really understand how best to teach people by introducing concepts really clearly but then not allowing things to be too easy and comfortable meaning the knowledge consolidates well.
Clearly hugely knowledgeable about language meaning he can explain why things are as they are (also very fun so gives **E-mail Address Removed** to help remember things!)
Could not recommend more and really excited to keep learning with him!
