My lessons are relaxed, structured and built around you. In our first lesson, we'll chat about your goals and I'll get a feel for your level, so I can plan lessons that fit your needs, whether that's homework help, exam topics from school, grammar, or building confidence to speak. Each lesson usually starts with a short warm-up conversation, then moves into the main topic, explained clearly with examples, followed by practice through games, role-plays, reading, writing or listening activities, depending on your age and interests. I use materials that match your real life, like your schoolbook, songs, articles, travel situations or work emails, so English feels useful rather than abstract. I focus on getting you speaking as much as possible, gently correct mistakes without interrupting your flow, and finish with a quick recap so you know exactly what you've learned. I'm new to tutoring, but I recently completed a 168-hour Level 5 TEFL diploma covering lesson planning, grammar, pronunciation and all four language skills. Over 10 years of professional work, I've also trained and supervised university students, given presentations and explained complex topics simply. And as a German learner myself, I know how it feels to be on the other side of the lesson!
