Marlene Franke

I am a native German speaker with extensive experience in teaching (and learning) foreign languages. I have been teaching German for over 12 years now. I have a Master's degree in Trans-cultural studies and, in addition, I completed a 'Diploma' in teaching German.

During my studies, I worked in the Foreign Language Center of the University of Bremen and the Carl Duisburg Centrum (a school that teaches German as a foreign language) and assisted students of all backgrounds and ages in their learning process. Since then, I have taught and am still teaching German privately and in schools and language institutions.

I have a variety of experiences when it comes to age, group size, and educational backgrounds. I have tutored and taught on "one on one" basis and in (smaller) groups. My youngest student was 6 years old and the oldest one was 83.

I have lived in Australia for the past 5 years and have recently relocated to London. I am offering private 1:1 classes or group classes. I love teaching German and it is important for me that my students love learning German. Learning a new language can be a wonderful experience if done right. I'm always trying to make my classes fun and engaging.

I usually work with German language books in my classes but it depends on the student and their learning goal. The majority of my classes are online which is very popular with my students. But I'm, also happy to do in person classes, either at my place or at the students place if it is not too far.

If you would like to start or continue your journey of learning German or need some revision, please do not hesitate to contact me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
