Tutoring Experience:
For over 10 years I have been teaching private students one-to-one, beginning from 6 years up to 60+ years old.

In February 2023 I completed a Teaching Assistant Course with a specific focus on supporting special educational needs students (SEN, Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia).

I am experienced in:
*online and in-person lessons
*beginners / intermediate level
*GCSE / A-Level exam preparation
*Goethe A1 / A2 exam preparation
*conversational German with focus on fluency, grammar and vocabulary expansion
*assisting in UK schools from nursery to A-Level

Tutoring Approach:
You will become a fluent and confident German speaker.

My lessons are tailored to your needs and cover listening, speaking, reading and writing combined with a lot of fun. Your mind will be kept interested during our interactive and varied lessons.

Tools you will be using depending on your interests and goals:
*Zoom or Skype for our lessons
*Quizlet
*Google (slides, docs, Jamboard)
*Audio and video files
*Songs and song lyrics
*DOC and PDF files
*Games / online games
*Articles and news
*Student books

I am very patient and encouraging as I know how hard the German language can appear. Everybody learns in a different way and I am very flexible to adjust to yours to support your progress and make you a confident German speaker. No matter which learning stage you are at, with my help you will be improving your skills easily and quickly.

To practice reading comprehension and writing I offer a WhatsApp service as well. This can be booked in addition to lessons or on its own.

I can't recommend Steffi highly enough. She has been able to progress my level in German to a place that I couldn’t have believed was possible. She has a gentle enthusiasm, and has guided me from a beginner in German to steadily build my confidence to the point where I feel sure footed about my ability to communicate in German, whether in writing or verbally. I found the lessons well organized and fun and have especially enjoyed learning from our conversations, which are a highlight of my week. What sets Steffi apart from many language teachers is that she is able to bridge the gap in understanding, not only in language but also in culture, having lived in the UK for many years and having an English and German family. What a great teacher! Danke.

I’ve been learning German with Steffi for just over 18 months and can thoroughly recommend the experience! Steffi is a brilliant tutor: very well-organised, very encouraging, very skilled, and passionate about her vocation. I’ve learned so much but just as important, I really enjoy our sessions. Sign up, you won’t regret it!

Steffi is a skilled teacher who imparts her knowledge with empathy and understanding. She quickly assesses your level in your language journey and offers bespoke support whether it be for exam preparation or your own language development. She can offer Zoom type lessons or face to face teaching for local clients. I would highly recommend her.
