Cambridge-trained polyglot and linguist, I am an experienced tutor and examiner. I revel in sharing my passion for language learning and guiding my tutees towards making progress and achieving results beyond their expectations, supporting them towards fulfilling their potential. Academic and cheerful, I am fully appreciative of the importance of providing each and every tutee with personalised learning experiences to make learning as enjoyable and impactful as possible as well as sustaining progress and motivation in the long-run. Working as an active committee member of the ALL London, I strive to keep my teaching skills and resources up-to date to provide my tutees with the best learning experiences possible. Currently tutoring at Westminster School, St Paul's Girls School as well as The Lady Eleanor Holles School, I deliver individually-tailored and personalised learning plans with guaranteed results for IGCSE French, German, Italian and Spanish. Preparing candidates for the IELTS, Fit auf Deutsch and CNED French and Italian is also an area I have developped expertise in. Formerly delivering the IB French at the best IB school in the world, my recent positions as an examiner for the IB and Cambridge International Examinations enable me to equip my candidates with solid exam skills boost their confidence with valuable insights.

I studied Linguistics and Semitics at university in Germany, achieving Ph.D. in Vienna. With seven years as a university lecturer in classical languages, I bring deep academic expertise to my tutoring. Since 2018, I have focused full-time on private language teaching from my base in Edinburgh, Scotland.​ I specialise in German for GCSE, A-Level, IB, National 5 and Higher across AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas and SQA boards, preparing students for exams with targeted grammar, past papers and speaking practice. I also teach adult learners and professionals seeking conversational fluency for work, travel or personal interest. My experience spans beginners to C2 level, helping students build confidence through clear explanations and steady progress. Lessons follow a structured 60-minute format: initial assessment conversation to identify strengths/needs, followed by balanced practice in speaking/listening, grammar foundations, and reading/writing with exam-style tasks. Homework receives detailed feedback with specific next steps. I create personalised plans allowing progress at your pace, with flexible online scheduling for UAE/Europe/US timezones. First lesson includes full level assessment and learning roadmap.

My name is Joana and I am a 28 year old Linguistics Master Student at Georgetown University. I am German, but have lived in Italy, the Netherlands, the UK, France, Argentina, and now in the U.S. I have been teaching German for 10 years, with a focus on developing the speaking and communications skills of my students, including pronunciation, structure, and vocabulary. My successes include a Brazilian student who obtained a position as a surgeon in a hospital in Germany, an Italian student that acquired a position at the 4GAMECHANGERS Festival in Austria, and a British student who has obtained a full-time position as a ski-instructor in Austria. My diverse linguistic repertoire and knowledge in linguistics, provides the advantage of being able to explain material to most students in their native tongue, and to explain grammatical constructs in a context-related manner. Whilst learning and teaching languages is my absolute passion, my other hobbies include running, volleyball and skiing.

I graduated from my Master’s degree in Finance from the Frankfurt school of Finance and Management. Previously, I attended King’s College London, where I studied History and German with a Year Abroad. In my Bachelors, my studies focused on German language and literature, as well as the British Empire as part of my History modules. Here, I focused on key German language principles through the core language modules. From these, I took a particular interest in New German Cinema in East and West Germany, as well as studies into Brecht, and Georg Büchner. This culminated in a successful year abroad, where I gained a place at the renowned Heidelberg University. In my final year, I received distinction in German speaking. In my Master’s, we covered core concepts in financial statement analysis, financial products and modelling, as well as risk management. In particular, I focused on financial accounting and advisory, looking into M&A Accounting, restructuring & strategic management control, and corporate valuation. I also conducted an advisory project with an SME based in London. I have found great interest in both German and Finance, and collected good experience in both fields over the last 6 years. I believe both language learning, and an understanding of key financial principles are key to navigating any future career path.

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).

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.

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 have recently graduated from Durham with a 2:1 in French and German. Having lived in both Germany and France for 6 months each I believe that I have both the ability and the confidence to tutor these languages. Whilst working abroad I fully immersed myself in the culture of the countries, which demanded complete fluency. My tutoring experience includes teaching Maths, French and German up to GCSE level, as well as the 11+ and 13+. Whilst at Durham, I tutored a handful of students, all of whom managed to improve their grades in their respective subjects. Additionally I am currently tutoring a student for the Eton entrance exam. I have developed a passion for these subjects over a number of years and would like to spark a similar interest in other students. I am very patient and keen to help out students who struggle with the fundamentals of foreign languages.

Matthew H

German Tutor, Edinburgh

My family lives overseas. My son has applied to a school in the UK for his GCSE education. We found Matthew via Tutor House and had several 2 hours sessions with him over a month to prepare for the entrance exams. Matthew was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was well prepared and patient. We just learned today that my son passed the entrance test 'with high grade'. We believe Matthew was a big help.
