"Maggie, has been a remarkable teacher to work with. She is extremely well organised, encouraging and sets the bar high. She is immensely patient and constantly supporting the students to improve their German skills. It was impressive to see how well prepared she was prior to each lesson. She has managed to instil a love of the subject in our son."

We can provide German tuition tailored to specific exams, for 13+ Common Entrance, GCSE German, IGCSE German, IB German, A Level German, and Oxford MLAT / Cambridge MMLAA Tests and other University Entrance exams. The tutors we work with help to improve exam performance by making use of past German papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of German to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
GCSE German students will need a solid grounding in German language, texts, and culture. Our German tutors will help your child develop a fluent knowledge of the language, and maximise their ability to translate German across a range of different authors. We aim to build up your child’s confidence, speed, and accuracy under pressure in German, equipping them to excel at GCSE level.
Our German tutors can help your child across all areas of the IGCSE German - Foreign Language curriculum. The IGCSE provides an excellent foundation for further study in German, and the tutors we represent will help your child take full advantage of this, reinforcing their knowledge of the language and preparing them to perform well under examination conditions.
IB German is a challenging qualification, requiring fluency in German at a high level. Our German tutors will help your child to gain a deeper understanding of the language, develop their translation skills, and make use of their knowledge successfully in an exam context.
A Level German is a well respected subject suitable for many future career paths, and students have to master the language to succeed. Our German tutors are able to focus in on those areas where your child needs additional support, help them translate accurately under time pressure, and ultimately prepare them to perform strongly in these key exams.
Both these exams are designed to help whittle down the number of students moving on to interview stage when applying to Oxford and Cambridge, and as such are rigorous and competitive tests. The German tutors we represent can help your child maximise their performance in this assessment, building on their knowledge and helping them to demonstrate the depth of their understanding successfully, as they compete for places to read German at the prestigious university of their choice.
