I am a qualified and experienced state secondary school teacher. I taught German and French for 22 years in schools in Berkshire and Oxfordshire. I taught German to A-Level and French to GCSE. In addition, I was Head of Year for 8 years and therefore... have strong pastoral skills which hopefully make students feel relaxed and supported. I took a year out when my daughter started school and worked as a teaching assistant. This gave me good insight into working alongside children with additional needs and behavioural issues.
As a student, I spent a year working as a language assistant at a school in Austria and I recently tutored a friend's daughters through GCSE and catch up when one switched to German from French.
I left teaching in 2022 to support my daughter through her GCSEs.

Your child should know I am on their side to get them through the academic challenge they are facing in their school life. I have been living and breathing languages most of my adult life and love teaching Modern Foreign Languages, English Language ...and English as an additional language (EAL). My experience has been varied, teaching French, German and EAL in a European International School. When I later returned to the UK with my family, I continued teaching these languages and added Spanish and Italian, English Language GCSE tutoring and SEN support in Prep School. I have experience of teaching Junior School and Senior School pupils and have enjoyed teaching these different age groups with their different characteristics. My colleagues say that I expect a lot of my pupils, but I am fair and like to have fun in the classroom. I intend to bring this to my role as your child's tutor.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a GCSE German tutor coming to your home to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel.
Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection.
Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.
Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the GCSE German tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the GCSE German tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.
Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the GCSE German tutor is required to travel to your home.
Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your GCSE German tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition.
Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.
Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your GCSE German tutor will only be working with your child.
Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of GCSE German tutors.
Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.
Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication.
Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style.
Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.
The choice between home, online, or small group GCSE German tuition depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
