Dynamic Language Educator: German, Italian, Latin, and Biblical Hebrew 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. **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. **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. Thank you for considering me as your language tutor. I am excited about the opportunity to embark on this linguistic journey with you.

I'm currently the Head of Classics at a high performing boys' grammar school in the London area, with three years of teaching experience at top London schools under my belt. In addition to serving as head of department, I am an experienced examiner for OCR (Greek, Latin, and Classical Civilisation at GCSE and A level). I have a great deal of experience teaching students of any ability, having pioneered Greek and Latin language clinics at my last school as well as supporting candidates working towards Oxford and Cambridge entrance. I am driven, curious, and passionate about the subjects I teach. Having spent my teens and early adulthood acquiring proficiency in several languages, I am always eager to impart my particular expertise. Educated at Trinity College, I am used to working in a dynamic and competitive environment. During my university years, I worked as a private tutor of Latin, French, German, Irish, and English Lit & Lang. I also worked as a voluntary tutor on a university outreach program, teaching students from disadvantaged local schools. In addition, I spent three years as an academic mentor in my department, meaning I tutored groups of first-year undergraduates in Latin and Ancient Greek. As a new teacher and postgraduate student, I am eager to continue developing my craft. My approach is a holistic and highly personal one, and I strive to use that which drives and inspires each student to aid their education. I am highly adaptable to student needs and I am open to innovative and unconventional learning styles.

Hi! I am Eleni, a passionate linguist expert. I have been teaching Modern Foreign Languages for more than 20 years. More specifically, I teach German, French, English (EFL), Italian and Greek in any language level. I also teach Spanish to GCSE level and I speak some Japanese too. I am a qualified UK school teacher with QTS and PGCE and I am also a CIOL Member and a Chartered Linguist. What's more, I studied Law at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and I have the highest diplomas (C2) in all the languages I teach. I have lived and worked all around Europe and I am currently based in Thessaloniki, although Manchester is my second home. You can find out more about my education by checking out my profile. What is also important to know is that languages are my greatest passion and I've been studying them for all my life. I've been a teacher for more than 20 years and nothing gives me greater pleasure than to impart my knowledge to my students in a fun, interesting and engaging way that is always adapted to the personal needs of every student. I have also huge experience in exam preparation. I have prepared hundreds of students for their language exams and I can guarantee your success in your A-Level, IB or GCSE exams and I should also mention that many of my students are now studying at some of the top Universities of the UK, Cambridge and Oxford just to mention two examples. I can also prepare you for international language exams in any language level proficiency (A1 - C2) for any of the official providers (e.g. Goethe Institute for German). When I do not teach I... teach voluntarily! :-) I organise classes for children that cannot afford it and I also teach at a children's home. I try to participate to as many voluntary actions as I can, especially for homeless people. I love nature, the countryside, animals, I try to cultivate my own tomatoes and I would love to learn horse riding. I urgently need some time and a tutor for the latter! Either you are a student or an adult, either you want to prepare yourself for exams or you would like to learn a language that will help you professionally or just for fun, I would love to meet you and start our language journey together. So, take the first step and reach out to me. I promise you, it will be the first step of many!

Hi there! I'm Ilinca, and I come from a family of teachers. I have learned the essential skills one must hold to make lessons interactive, enjoyable and informative. I aim to encourage students and help them build their confidence while improving their current skills. My teaching method varies on each individual’s preferences and goals. For adults, classes are more structured and based on particular aims and goals. When working with children, I often use visual material to boost engagement. Before moving to Scotland for my degree, I attended an international school in Germany, where I lived for 11 years. I graduated as valedictorian in Criminology and Sociology, finishing with a 1st-degree classification. I also hold a B2 DELE certification, having studied Spanish for over 9 years. I am TEFL certified, passing the examinations with a 95%. I have experience teaching English, Spanish and German to both children and adults, and completed my Postgraduate Degree in Education in Secondary Languages. I am a fully qualified MFL teacher, currently working in England.

I am a highly experienced tutor with over 7 years experience teaching and tutoring in private and public schools, as well as privately and online, in the UK, France and Spain. I am familiar with all major exam boards, and have been frequently noted for the passion and rigor with which I introduce and teach my subjects. I am a firm believer in the idea that education should be available to all, and that there is is student without potential. I thus make a point to help the student see the attraction of the subject. My methodology is focused on ensuring immersion in both the more theoretical and abstract principles of the subect and their application through practice and concrete examples. I aim to get the student applying themselves consistently as soon as possible, keeping a constant eye out for areas for improvement. I studied at the University of Warwick, Sciences Po, and the Sorbonne. I have worked as a teacher, tutor, translator, researcher, as well as business research and charity. I am fluent in 6 languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German. I am also a teacher of Latin and Greek.

I'm currently a PhD student in Psychology at the University of Birmingham and have previously studied at the University of Cambridge where I completed a research-based Masters degree in Psychology. I have over 6 years experience in tutoring pupils and university students in Psychology (including statistics and research methods), German (my native language), and Spanish (bilingual proficiency). I have also taught a variety of students online for over 2 years now and feel confident that this format can work well for building a positive learning environment. I always aim for students to feel confident and happy at the end of a lesson, which I believe is just as important subject knowledge. I have in-depth knowledge of the UK GCSE and A Level curriculum in Psychology, Spanish and German (AQA, OCR, Edexcel) and use up-to-date past exam papers to guide my teaching where relevant. Drawing on my experience from successfully publishing in academic journals, I also offer advanced feedback on dissertations or other project work at undergraduate and graduate degree level. In addition, I offer proofreading and individualised feedback to personal statements for university admissions. I plan my lessons to include small pieces of information and intermittent learning goals, balancing explanations with giving students opportunities for applying and practicing the newly learnt information. To ensure continuous progress, my lessons usually start with a quiz or a quick recap of the previous lesson’s content. If desired, I provide students with further useful materials to be completed independently in between lessons. Where possible, I like to connect study material to real life examples that students can relate to. I’ve observed that when seeing the personal relevance of the subject matter, students have often shown significant learning progress, motivation and understanding. I always welcome questions and feedback. I’m very much looking forward to continue working with a range of different students!

Having recently graduated from Magdalene College, Cambridge in 2019 reading Spanish and German, I am keen to utilise my language skills to inspire others to study modern languages. The impact a teacher has on their pupils’ education is my key motivation for pursuing a career in teaching, alongside a genuine desire to reverse the trend of the high number of Britons who cannot speak any other language apart from English. I believe that I have the skills to foster a real enjoyment of Spanish and German in my students, as I am a confident, engaging and self-motivated graduate. My love of languages was nurtured at school, thanks to the excellent teaching I received, and has continued to grow throughout my higher education. I have relevant previous experience through various tutoring roles that I have undertaken. During my year abroad, I privately tutored English to Spanish children ranging from 8- to 14-year olds. I employed a variety of teaching methods to keep the students engaged, such as vocabulary games, music and short video clips. In turn, this allowed them to develop both their listening and oral skills. During my time at Cambridge, I also offered advice on Oxbridge interview preparations. In my lessons I will ensure students are in contact with the target language from the very first class whilst focussing on their individual needs. I am a committed tutor and always strive to bring the best out in my students.

I find it very rewarding to support students to make rapid progress and achieve their goals. In my free time I enjoy playing Spanish guitar, cycling, hiking, and reading. Please get in touch if you have any questions about what I offer and how I can support you in your learning.

How long does it take to learn German?

Becoming completely fluent in German takes years and lots of practice. Learning any new language requires a great deal of patience, dedication and regular practice or lessons. If you want to gain a basic proficiency in German, you can learn a decent amount in a year with regular lessons.

Is German hard to learn?

German is seen as quite a tough language as there are a lot of tenses to learn and the sentence structure is quite different to other modern languages. However, once you've got to grips with the tenses and got your 'der, die, das, den and dem' the right way round, German is actually a very straightforward language. In fact, the rules are logical and make a lot of sense!

Why Tutor House German tutors?

At Tutor House, we've been pairing students with top tutors for years. Our German tutors have helped complete beginners, GCSE & A Level German students, university undergraduates and many others achieve their language learning goals.

Want to start learning German?

Our Beginners German tutors make learning German easy! With regular German tuition, you can expect to see your fluency improve rapidly. Get to grips with German grammar, pronunciation and spelling with the help of a top German tutor. 

 

It's estimated that 130 million people speak German, making it the most widely spoken language in the EU. Germany is also a country renowned as a world leader in business, trade and commerce. Having a level of proficiency in German is therefore a very attractive asset to many employers, and picking up a second language is a big boost for your CV skillset. 

 

Enlist the help of one of our friendly, experienced tutors to get started with your German learning. It's hard to learn German on your own as a Beginner, but with the help of a tutor you can get to grips with the grammar, verb endings and sentence structure much more easily.
