German lessons for GCSE and A-Level students from Cambridge graduate

I have been teaching German to GCSE and A-Level students and adults since graduating from the University of Cambridge in 2012 with a degree (BA and MA [Hons]) in Modern Languages. I focus on speaking and grammar, and reintroducing a love of the language, which sadly seems to be missing from many schools. When we get closer to the exam period, I focus on exam technique and giving the examiners what they are looking for.

My exam guide for GCSE Spanish and German students have been published and are currently available on Amazon, and I am also the designer for these courses on the study app and website Study Rocket!

Présentation
I work as an actor, writer and director in London. Having graduated with a degree and MA (Hons) in Modern Languages from Cambridge, I have taught languages, sport, and drama in Britain and Latin America and also worked extensively in Theatre in Education. Many of my GCSE students carry on to A-Level because of their new-found skills and love of the subject, and 100% of my A Level tutees have got into their first choice universities, including Oxbridge. I have worked as a journalist in Mexico and London, as well as in radio in Argentina, Cambridge and London. I am also a published author, recently releasing an exam guide for GCSE Spanish and GCSE German students available on Amazon, as well as the course designer for study app and website Study Rocket.

I believe that every student is unique and should be treated as such, with the lessons structured according to the individual’s needs and goals. I like to establish a good rapport and to create a different environment to school, in which one can learn with enjoyment, and without fear of mistakes.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.
