French and German graduate, currently living and teaching in Germany, offering language lessons for KS3/GCSE and above.
EFL, Maths GCSE also available.
ONLINE LESSONS ONLY.

I am a 24 year-old languages graduate with a joint honours degree in French and German from the University of Nottingham. Since having graduated, I have been working in Secondary School in Germany, teaching English to German students.

I grew up in a family whose parent spoke and still speak multiple languages and so was exposed to French, German and Spanish from a very early age. I learned French at Primary School and have been studying German since Secondary School; all of which led to me reading Modern Languages at university. During my third year (year abroad), I spent six months working as an English Language Assistant for the British Council in Nieder-Olm, a small town in Rheinland-Pfalz.

I offer tuition in German and French, from beginners' to A-Level/International Baccalaureate (IB) standard. I am also able to tutor GCSE Maths.

Tutoring Experience

Throughout my Sixth form and GCSE years, I supported my fellow classmates through their German, and Maths courses. I also helped younger students in school through a lunchtime support club.

During my university career, I tutored a few students in GCSE Maths and German, all of whom found our lessons both enjoyable and useful.

As part of one of my final year modules, I worked in a school in Derbyshire, where I taught German to two different Year 9 groups, and so have recent experience with the UK syllabuses.

Since graduating in 2019, I have worked full-time at a Secondary School in Germany, where I teach English and French to a range of students, across different year groups and of differing abilities.

My experience of working with students means I can easily establish a rapport and therefore a good working relationship with a new student. We can then move forward, in order to consolidate and extend existing knowledge.

Tutoring Approach

I am an enthusiastic and patient person, with a friendly and pragmatic approach to tutoring and exam preparation. Since I remember clearly the anxieties of public exams, I can easily relate to students' worries and concerns. My main aim is to build confidence in my students so that they are not intimidated by the subject and thus can achieve their target.
