Julia Underwood

My background is working with children and young adults offering learning support in lessons as well as after school.

Here in the UK, I started teaching German as a private tutor in 2009 and soon had a fast growing client base, ranging from private clients, school students as well as companies, covering all areas of German language learning requirements.

Having worked with many secondary schools in this area, I have experience with all major exam boards for GCSE and A-level exams and have a wide range of teaching materials. Often, school students come to me with one or two specific areas they are struggling with, for example pronunciation or just lacking confidence in speaking German. Others have problems with some of the grammar.
Whatever the issue, I can help!

I have a 100% success rate for my GCSE students who completed their German lessons with me.

My private clients include a family with young children, who own a holiday home in Austria and are learning how to order food and drink, buy train tickets and go shopping, etc.
Another client had lessons with me before securing a job in Germany, where he has now moved to.
A young lady who is currently having lessons is a professional singer and wants to improve her pronunciation for her Classical singing. I tailor make every lesson to fit the student's goals, skills and learning style.
I strive to make my lessons engaging, motivating and fun as I believe these are the conditions students learn best.
