German language (or literature) lessons (beginner, intermediate and advanced) from native speaker
This class is for anyone who wishes to learn German from someone with native level skills. Whether it is to learn the basics as a beginner or to hone essay-writing skills. Can comfortably adapt to any curriculum (IB, A-Level, GCSE).
Alternatively, if desired, I can help develop more analytical literary skills and give guidance on how to study German Literature.
In both cases, I prioritise verbal dialogue as well as writing tasks, particularly for more advanced levels.
I am very flexible when it comes to the structure of lessons/their intensity and feel it is usually best to discuss this on an individual basis.

French classes - from beginners to uni (proofreading if needed)French studies classes – Linguistics, History, Literature, Civilisation – Proofreading possible, available for students with specific needs
Bonjour, I’m a native French student in English studies and I have been a tutor for four years now, to students from the age of 9 to 18 with various learning profiles (dyspraxia, autism, dyslexia).
As a future teacher, the most important thing for me is to learn how to adapt to the students needs and ways of learning. There is no one perfect way to learn a language, and my goal is to help you or your child to find out more about yourself/themself and how your/their brain works ! Always searching for innovative ways of teaching, I will provide a personalised service to help you master French !
I accept beginners as advanced students in French studies who need tutoring or help on their essays.
I had my French baccalaureat in Economics with honours. I am fluent in English and has the IELTS certificate at 8 level.
If you need more details or want to discuss a specific situation, feel free to contact me ! Belle journée à vous ! :)
Luciano
Qualified Italian student giving Latin and Ancient Greek lessons in Edinburgh.I am studying Social Anthropology and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. Classics are one of the biggest interests of mine; I started studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages and literature 6 years ago and I have been teaching for three years. I think studying these languages led me to be more aware of who I am as well as understand what is really worth.
Latin (Ancient greek too) lessons consist of two different parts: grammar and literature.
By studying grammar you are not going to just receive boring notions about the structure of the language, but you are going to deepen processes and rules that form Latin; with this method we are going to discuss about Latin and Greek mindset and then discuss about important themes studied by ancient people in literature. Furthermore, according to your needs and goals, we can exercise on translation of texts.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Some Reviews:
Chevaan:
Catherina is without a doubt THE best tutor we know. She is exceptionally committed and is always looking to inspire her students. She has consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help our son with his German. She provides excellent study material, engaging homework and follows up to ensure that her students have really grasped the subject matter.
Brian:
Catharina has been teaching our 11 year old daughter for the past few months and we are very impressed with her excellent progress in this short space of time.
Catharina has developed a very good rapport with our daughter and is patient and knowledgeable. Our daughter always looks forward to her next lesson and even hands in her homework on time! We would highly recommend Catharina to anyone who would like to learn a new language.
Afeisha:
Very professional, friendly and informative. I feel like Catharina will help me to reach where I need to. She doesn't just teach from the book, she teaches in a way that will allow you to blend in with ease. I am excited to learn more from her.
Egle:
Great tutor! Catharina adapts lessons to ones needs, gives very clear explanations and most importantly works on the pronunciation of the language. With every lesson she provides lesson material.

Daniel
Individualized German tutoring by Cambridge certified tutorI have a master's degree in German Studies, and I am C2 proficient in English. Besides extensive work as a translator, I have experience tutoring university students from abroad, as well as refugees, and even my Czech girlfriend. Not just in English and German, but also specifically working to understand the Swiss dialects. Thus, I have a broad knowledge base that deals in all possible lingual backgrounds. I think in any language, learning is easiest when respecting the unique backgrounds of people and their language, and focusing rather on the commonalities than the differences. Being knowledgeable about linguistics certainly helps in achieving this.
I believe in a personal approach, thus I would sit down with you and figure out what your goals are, your strengths, and your resources, either in person or via online tutoring.
Nadine
German (Native) and English (Fluent) Online - ClassI’m a 28-year-old German native speaker with a passion for teaching languages, including German, English, and Thai. Currently, I’m in my 4th year of medical school, but I’ve always been enthusiastic about languages and cultural exchange. I have experience working as an English teacher in Japan, where I developed strong teaching skills and an understanding of different learning styles. Additionally, I’ve babysat while incorporating a bit of language exchange, further enriching my teaching experience.
Growing up bilingual, with a German father and Thai mother, I have native-level proficiency in German and conversational skills in Thai. I’ve also traveled extensively and spent several months in Australia and New Zealand and currently I am studing in English, which helped me achieve fluency in English and even understand Australian slang.
I offer 1-on-1 tutoring sessions tailored to your needs, where we can focus on conversation, grammar, and vocabulary. Whether you're looking to improve your language skills for travel, work, or cultural understanding, I’m here to support your learning journey. Feel free to ask questions or request specific lesson structures—I’m flexible and eager to help you reach your goals.
