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.

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 am taking my learner's learning objectives seriously in order to devise and plan lessons that focus on interactive, personalised, systematic, and action-oriented teaching and learning. Politics: I studied International Politics as my undergraduate in a bi-national programme in Germany and France (B.A.).

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'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!

I am an experienced and highly motivated languages and humanities tutor, having recently graduated from Oxford University with a first in German and Turkish. I have recently been through the whole exam process from GCSE to Uni applications, so I am well-equipped to help you across a range of subjects. I have worked as a one-one German tutor up to A-Level and as a classroom assistant in a primary school, meaning I have a range of experience across levels and age groups. I like to teach in as friendly and fun a way as possible, always looking for new ways into a subject; I also tailor my lesson plans to individual students' aims, needs and interests. I teach a range of subjects from languages (German, French, Turkish and Latin) to humanities such as English Language and Literature, History and Politics, as well as personal statement and Oxbridge application help. In my spare time, I love films, music and anything culture-related. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am an encouraging and patient, native and certified German language teacher. Throughout my time of working in secondary education classrooms I have learned how to make language learning engaging, rewarding, and effective. I would love to create a personalised learning environment for language learners in which they can reach their individual goals. In 2021, I have successfully completed the Professional Graduate Diploma in Education in teaching German as a foreign language at the University of Edinburgh. In my role as a newly qualified German teacher at Larbert High School in Falkirk, Scotland, I have prepared and taught German classes to students and gained experience in supporting students so they can achieve their national qualifications. In my freetime, I have also acquired two years of experience in one to one tutoring with pupils ranging from 11-43 years old in which I have been able to expand my knowledge of different education systems (especially the English and Irish education system).

Hi, I'm Tim. I've just stopped teaching in schools after 30 years and am looking forward to teaching online, something I've become very used to in these last ten months. I studied German with Dutch at the University of London and did my PGCE at Exeter. I've been mostly a German teacher, teaching all levels, from primary school beginners through to KS3, GCSE, A Level and IB, both IB A for native speakers and IBB. I love teaching and always enjoy planning lessons to be thorough, fun, with a good balance of listening, reading, writing and speaking. I really encourage my pupils to think and thoroughly understand through a huge variety of approaches that I've collected over my extensive teaching experience. I've also taught English, both at school to ks3 pupils and English as a foreign language. In both my English and German lessons, I love teaching literature as much as language, and have a thorough knowledge of grammar. I've always loved languages and spoke Dutch as well as English as a child, and have continued trying other languages over the year. I've lived in the US, Holland and Germany as well as the UK. I'm a very outdoorsy person, love being in nature, either walking, running or cycling. I'm very active in environmental issues. I've done a lot of amateur dramatics and sing in musicals. I also like reading, watching films and working on my website.

Is it worth taking Pre U German?

The Pre-University German course is designed to give students a strong understanding of German from which they can confidently progress on to studying German and other modern languages at university.

What will I learn in Pre U German?

The Pre-University (CIE) German syllabus moves away from an emphasis on classroom language towards an immersion in authentic language and culture - from the news media, radio, television, or internet. The course sets students up with German vocabulary which they will actually find useful in real life situations, on their university course and when they study abroad.

How can a Pre U tutor help me with German?

A Pre U German tutor can support you through your CIE exams, coursework and syllabus. With a private German tutor, you're able to go through Pre U past papers together and work on your vocabulary and technique for the exams.

Looking for a German Pre-University tutor?

At Tutor House we have a range of Pre U German tutors to suit all ages, learning styles and abilities. Once you've selected a tutor that's right for your studies, book a Free Trial Call to see if you get on well.
