Personal Description:
Highly qualified, extraordinarily buzzy and very well experienced bilingual teacher of German from KS2 to post gradua**Contact Detail Removed**vel with over twenty years experience - all ages and abilities, with lessons tailored to individual learning styles and preferences. Vast experience of UK examination boards, expert preparation for exams (GCSE and A Level as well as A/B/C levels recognized by the EU), and entertaining sessions designed to motivate, inspire and boost confidence whilst ensuring swift progress.
Teaching Experience:
I've taught German for over twenty years to all ages and abilities, and adore the language. My teaching experience has predominantly been in state schools in the UK, and many of my former students have been inspired to continue with their German studies at advanced level and at degree level. I have also taught natives in Cologne, focusing on literature and language acquisition, and have tutored adults in business and recreational German. My KS3, KS4 and KS5 experience is tailored to the exam boards Edexcel, AQA and OCR, and having been a head of department for most of my teaching life, I am very adept at providing students with creative .materials to support them in every step of their exam preparation
Teaching Approach:
I work closely with tutees to provide an approach which complements their preferred learning **Web Address Removed** more of a focus on visual or tactile learning via flashcards, match-up vocab cards, games such as snakes and ladders and online activities, and more of an auditory focus via teaching through lyrics, reading materials, grammatical tasks and thorough and concise explanations. I love using songs and arias to teach vocab and tricky constructions - with students completing gap fill and sequencing tasks. It's fun and makes the language more accessible to all levels.

Danke dir Emma und bis gleich !!
My daughter only started lessons with Emma during year 11 and at the time she had very little confidence in her language skills. However, working with Emma restored both her confidence and her interest in the German language. My daughter enjoyed her lessons and it was lovely to see how confident and relaxed she was throughout her GCSE German exams. Emma made a world of difference to her whole approach, as well as her grade (she ultimately achieved a Grade 8). I can’t recommend Emma highly enough!
