Born and raised in Germany to a German father and an English mother, I am a native German speaker fluent in both German and English, with over 15 years of professional experience in the UK. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Education and am accredited with Qualified Teacher Status, bringing a robust foundation of academic and practical expertise to my work. I have served as Head of Department for Languages and as Lead Practitioner at Harris Academy, demonstrating leadership in curriculum development, instructional strategy, and departmental management. Over four years, I taught German at the secondary level, fostering linguistic and cultural proficiency in students at institutions including Harris Academy Rainham and Brighton College.
With over a decade of teaching experience exclusively focused on German language education, my expertise spans across various academic levels, ranging from year 7 up to A-Level. Whether it's mastering the intricacies of grammar or honing conversational fluency, I possess the skills to cater to both the scholastic and practical aspects of learning German. Moreover, my familiarity with the GCSE criteria equips me to adeptly prepare students for their examinations, ensuring they excel with confidence.

As a dedicated educator, I believe in the power of personalized tutoring to unlock each student's full potential. With over a decade of teaching experience focused exclusively on German language education, I specialize in tailoring my approach to suit the unique learning styles and goals of individual learners. From year 7 up to A-Level, I offer comprehensive support encompassing both academic mastery and practical fluency in German. By fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment, I empower my students to thrive academically while nurturing their confidence and passion for language learning. With a commitment to continuous improvement and student success, I strive to make each tutoring session interactive, enjoyable, and impactful.
