Lisa-Marie

I am a young professional, based in Manchester. I am an open-minded, friendly and reliable person who loves working with children. I am a native German speakers and studied German in university. I feel comfortable teaching German to all ages and levels of language proficiency.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience as a teaching assistance for German in Finland and Egypt. I used to work as a nanny for 1 year in London, mainly assisting with homework and tutoring.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that the most important qualities of a good tutor are adaptability, enthusiasm, empathy and respect. I am convinced that I am able to represent all of those qualities within my tutoring approach.
My approach varies depending on the student’s needs and learning style. However my teaching philosophy is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible. I start from topics the students are comfortable with and move gradually towards more complex areas as their confidence builds. I use questions and examples to check understanding continually. I don’t lecture to students or ask them to memorize things. One of the most valuable lessons tutors can share with their students is a passion for learning, which I will bring across in every session.
