Natascha

I am Natascha, originally from Zurich, I came to Oxford in 2017 to read Medieval German. I love teaching German language and literature. In my research, I specialise in illustrated and illuminated manuscripts, therefore I am always happy to talk about books! I have been a private tutor since 2012, working at Heidelberg University and from 2018 at Oxford University. If you are looking for highly personalised, focused and entertaining tuition, you have come to the right place!

Tutoring Experience

I am a highly qualified German tutor and have worked at Heidelberg University, Oxford University, as well as private schools such as the Oxford High School for Girls, Cherwell School, and Headington Girl's School. Besides this I have taught in the Oxford area helping students achieve their personal goals: be it relocating to Germany or passing your GCSE with flying colours! I have also worked with Learnlight and Berlitz Oxford, teaching students from their first German lesson to debating current political affairs and cultural topics.

Tutoring Approach

My strengths are in creating an engaging learning environment and delivering the lessons at a suitable pace for the student. I provide tailor-made lessons based on an analysis of my students’ needs and goals. In order to do so, I create relevant lesson content using a mixture of applicable grammar points, current original language materials, and engaging exercises, on and off-line. I am an experienced tutor having taught students of all ages and levels, from absolute beginners to highly fluent professionals. My main goal is to help students to become competent and confident speakers.
