About Christine
I have around 20 years of experience tutoring German and English as a foreign language. I have taught on a one-to-one basis and small groups, with children from as young as 3 years old, to primary and secondary school, to adults at university, working or in their retirement. Therefore, I have a detailed understanding of the requirements for various exams such as A1, A2, B1, C1 of the Goethe Institute, GCSE and A-level exams from various exam boards. All my students have passed their exams and for those tutees at school, I am proud to say that I have, in the vast majority of cases, been able to greatly improve their grades. I have also taught Psychology undergraduates at a residential school offered by The Open University. More generally about me: I grew up and completed my schooling in the South of Germany. Once I'd obtained my Abitur (A-level equivalent), I came to the UK as a Psychology student so I know what it's like when you're learning a new language! Alongside Psychology, I also studied German, Philosophy and Biology at university. After graduating, I worked as a research assistant (Roslin Institute, University of Liverpool), as a data analyst, then in commercial banking (relationship management and credit) for around a decade. Once I had my children, I worked in research again, as a translator and interviewer in German and, most recently, taught in a secondary school. I therefore have a wide range of experiences, gained in very different environments, and this combination of academic, business and education experience informs my teaching.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing people improve their skills, develop and grow in confidence and knowing you've helped in this process. I adapt to students - their level, personality and preferred learning style - whilst providing opportunities to practise communication skills as well as grammar and syllabus content. I am always keen to tailor my lessons to suit my students. I very much want students to be relaxed and enjoy their lessons as well as the language in general as this will ensure the best possible progress (when we are engaged, we learn and retain the most). Also, why shouldn't learning (and life ;-) ) be fun whenever possible! My lessons are typically 1 hour long but I am open to adjusting this if requested. I am a German native speaker, hold a degree in Psychology from the University of St Andrews, have worked at secondary and primary schools and have been tutoring for many years. During that time, I have tutored GCSE, A-level and university students, adult learners as well as primary school, pre-school and nursery aged children. I can provide references confirming students' satisfaction and excellent grades.
