Annette Juckes

I am a professional linguist with a wide range of experience: I have worked for many years as an interpreter, translator, editor and language tutor with English, French and German. I like to teach languages because I enjoy interacting with my students and seeing them progress.

Our first meeting is free: We will discuss what you would like to cover in the lessons, and I will tailor the lessons to your needs and wishes. We can either concentrate on preparing for an exam (GCSE, A-level, preparation for specific university programs) , follow a text book, or use authentic material from the internet to start a conversation, on topics such as current affairs, daily life, history and culture. You can choose the topics! In this way, you will not only improve your spoken German/French, but also enjoy a stimulating conversation on a topic which you find interesting. I regularly spend time in Paris and keep up with current affairs and social and cultural developments in France and Germany, and enjoy sharing my discoveries with interested students.

After each lesson, I will send you a document with the phrases we have used, the grammar points we have covered and my corrections and recommendations for study. If you wish, I can set you some homework (grammar, vocabulary or writing exercises).

Please get in touch if you have any questions or requests.
