Reviews for German Tutors

5.0
Mrs Morrison - Alan provided French tuition to my son weekly for a year before his A level. He was aspiring to study languages at university and aiming high but having taken his GCSE a year early and in lockdown he lacked confidence and was considerably behind where he needed to be. Alan worked very hard with him and helped to grow his confidence and ability so that he was able to score 89% at A level, just 0.25% off an A*. We were all delighted with this result and my son secured his place to read languages at Bristol. Alan was a great source of advice on ways to develop language skills outside the curriculum and also gave my son valuable insight on how he could use his languages in future careers. He was supportive and communicative at all times and was clearly invested in my son's success. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
Ms Cresswell - Alan is an outstanding German tutor. His deep passion for the language and knowledge of German culture is evident, adding nuance to the subject whilst teaching. His enthusiasm for German is infectious, making every lesson I had engaging and inspiring. He brings complex grammar to life and tailored his approach to help me navigate the more challenging concepts. He not only taught the German required for the syllabus but went above and beyond in supporting me, even exploring different German opportunities as a career. Alan's compassion sets him apart. He is always patient and willing to go the extra mile to help me. No question was too small, and he was genuinely invested in my success, even contacting me after exams and results to ask how they went. His flexibility was equally impressive, accommodating schedules and adjusting lessons to focus on areas where help was most needed. Alan's ability to make learning both fun and accessible has helped me make tremendous progress in German, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. Student -17 years old
Mrs D Phillips - I just wanted to say once again how grateful we are for your support of Emma and all the kindness that you have shown her. Emma has always looked forward to her lessons with you and found them both fun and engaging. You have made a difference with her approach and confidence to her work and with her overall self-belief. You are a special tutor, and we have been so lucky to have found you. The teenage years are difficult, full of challenges and there is a lot of work involved in A levels. Emma has really valued your input during this part of her life and she is even more focused on her future and determined to find an interesting and fulfilling pathway ahead. Thank you, Frances. Wishing you good health and happiness for 2023. Kind regards Denise.
Mrs Barton - Francis is a highly productive tutor and got my 12 year-old boy on the right track after tremendous efforts. My son has been learning pretty much within a very short period of time. We hope to come back to him as soon as possible after a break.
Mrs Conley - Very supportive and a skilled German teacher. Highly recommend.
Mrs Gupta - My son really liked the way Carol went through the course content with him. She prepared him really well for his GCSE and he managed to get a 9!
Miss Bowen - Colin has been such a wonderful tutor over the past several months. He has really helped our son improve upon his Economics skills for his forthcoming A-Level examinations. Colin has been accommodating and flexible with timings. He genuinely wants our son to do well in Economics. We would not hesitate to recommend Colin 100% and thank him for all of his invaluable input and knowledge in the hours spent tutoring our son.
Mrs K. Amos - Marion Trowell has been tutoring three of my children, my son who achieved top marks for GCSE, my daughter, who also achieved top grades for her A-level German. At the moment Marion is tutoring my youngest son for German GCSE. Marion is very competent in German, she has a lot of patience and a good sense of humour. I would certainly recommend her for anyone who wants to achieve good grades in exams.
Mrs S. O'connor - Marion has tutored my eldest daughter for German GCSE and Izzy achieved an A in her exams. My younger daughter and son have also been studying German with Marion and really enjoy her lessons. I would describe Marion as very conscientious and reliable. She is a very patient tutor and provides great tuition.
Mrs Armstrong - Hi Phyllis, Just to let you know that Amy got an A * in French with full marks for speaking. So she got her Cambridge place. Thanks so much again for all your help. It gave her so much more confidence having had very few opportunities to speak French.
Mrs Endler - Thanks so much for your help with German It was her highest mark at A level She's really enjoyed her sessions and there's no doubt it had a huge impact.
Lucy Thorpe - This was a super Spanish lesson! An engaging set of activities that moved along at a good pace whilst scaffolding the less able learners and challenging the most able.
Mrs Jenny Elliott - Fiona is utterly professional in every respect and I have no reservation in recommending Fiona to you.
Miss Isabella Kalisperas - Sandra was my tutor (both in person and online) for around 6 months to help prepare me for my university speaking exams. She was warm, helpful and encouraging. She was not only instructive in correcting my grammar and pronunciation but she also boosted my confidence in speaking, which was my main goal. She was an incredible tutor, who made learning and speaking languages less nerve-wracking and more fun!
Mrs S Pearson - Roger is a very experienced and diligent tutor with exceptional language ability. Passionate about his subjects, committed to trust and rapport with the student.
Mrs A Harrison - Roger genuinely cared about my son's progress and inspired him to strive for excellence. He achieved a top grade in Latin. We cannot thank him enough.
Deb - Jess has been amazing since the very first session. Our son has thoroughly enjoyed learning with Jess. He is keen to share his learning with us, and looks forward to seeing Jess each time. Jess's enthusiasm is clearly catching; she makes the sessions interesting and her methods are effective quickly.

Location
Online Tuition: Involves a German tutor on the platform of your choice to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. 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
Online Tuition: 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 German tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your 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
Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of German tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
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 online, or small group 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.
