(2 reviews)

Personal Description:

I read Modern Languages (major German and minor French) at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, gaining a distinction in spoken German. I then completed a postgraduate diploma in European Business Management. I am very enthusiastic about Germany and France - their language, culture and people. I spent an academic year at the University of Tübingen during my degree, two months on placement in Nancy (Lorraine), and three months on a work placement in Hannover during my postgraduate diploma. I am a qualified TEFL teacher, having gained the Trinity College London TESOL certificate.

Teaching Experience:

I gave English tuition to students while at university in Germany. I have been teaching on a regular basis since 2009, when I assisted the German teacher at Croydon College teaching groups of A level German students.
As well as being a qualified TEFL teacher, I also have the PTTLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) qualification. I have taught English as a foreign language to young people in a busy central London language school, and also to individuals. I have been tutoring regularly since 2011.
I currently offer German at KS3, GCSE and A level, French to KS3 and GCSE level, as well as to adult learners (beginners to intermediate), and English as a foreign language to international students a**Contact Detail Removed**mentary, intermediate, advanced and proficient levels (A1 - C2).
The lessons I offer are online.

Teaching Approach:

I like to work with the learner using a clear and structured, easy to follow approach, tailored to their requirements. I devote time to assessing the strengths, weaknesses and motivation of the student - how I can best build up their skills and confidence.
