Tutoring
Learning a new language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about them. I provide learner-centric tutoring for German language learners from A1-C2 (Beginner to Advanced). Together we will discover the fun and quirks of language learning while ensuring your personal goals are achieved. My individual tutoring approach includes:
-
Identifying with each student individual language learning goals to define a realistic, yet challenging study roadmap.
-
Providing planning tools and teaching learning skills that aid the personal style of the learner using efficient and fun German language learning materials.
-
Aligning individual learning programs with specific study themes, individual grammar challenges, personal interests as well as topics relevant to primary, secondary or sixth form curriculums.
-
Supporting students, who would like to study in Germany, to meet UNI-specific matriculation criteria preparing for Goethe Institut, DSD I and II / telc examinations.
-
PLUS the added benefit of a native German teacher, who can help each student reach an excellent fluency level in spoken and written language.
Teaching
I am a qualified (QTS) modern foreign languages teacher with a PGCE from Leeds Beckett University and experienced in teaching bilingual and non-native children as well as adult learners.

I am currently working with a variety of agencies i.e. Learnship, SuperProf, Nachhilfeunterricht.de as a language trainer guiding and supporting German language learners on their journey to their aspired proficiency. I teach individuals and small groups across all CEFR levels (A1-C2).

At DSSG - the German Saturday School Greenwich, I have been teaching since 2016, supporting both native and foreign language learners, across A1-C1, combining native and foreign language pedagogy, and using authentic and textbook-based learning materials differentiated to meet the learning needs within learner groups of different ability levels. A strong focus is on speaking and writing, the two most underdeveloped skills, while developing profound listening skills to be able to live, study, or work in a German-speaking country.

At the German Academy, I work with small groups of foreign language learners, teaching the German Online Intensive Course across A1-B1. Some of them are preparing to move to Germany, others want to get ready to join a GCSE course at their secondary school.
-
Don't like to learn in a group? I frequently work with private students - long term and for short periods - supporting them to reach an individual learning target and I provide native conversation sessions.

Need a supply teacher able to teach/tutor EAL and MFL (English, German, and Spanish)? I have been teaching different age groups in the English education system since 2016, both in primary school and secondary school, covering KS 1-2 primary curriculum in a speech and language therapy setting and teaching in KS 3-5 preparing the students for German GCSE and A-Level at two leading Grammar Schools in the South East of London.
