German GCSE Tutoring for Students of all Abilities
Learning a language at school can be a daunting prospect, especially when there is an important exam at the end of it. As somebody with both a GCSE and A-Level in German, and much subsequent experience with the language including through translation work, I am eager to pass on my skills and advice and help students to thrive in their German GCSE, regardless of their ability.

GCSE History can pose considerable challenges to the student, predominantly due to the often unfamiliar way of approaching questions in the exam, and thanks to the wealth of information a student has to learn. My aim for this class would be to consolidate their learning, explain historical themes and concepts and offer guidance on exam technique. I am, however, flexible, and will respond to whatever each student needs. Though I am not a specialist in all fields of history, I have a broad understanding of historical themes as a whole, and can quickly absorb new information to benefit all students in their learning.
The Crusades are an often misunderstood period in world history, and this can make understanding them a complex task. As somebody who has studied the Crusades both at A Level and at undergraduate level (indeed, writing my dissertation on an aspect of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem), I feel I am well placed to pass on my knowledge and skills. I am happy to help in any aspect of study, be it in understanding the period, people and events, or with other facets such as exam technique.
Having studied Modern Britain at A-level, and pursued my interest in it throughout subsequent years, I am well placed to offer clarification and advice to all students. This could involve discussion of the key themes, trends and political figures, advice on exam technique, or how to approach the exam. I am, however, flexible, and will respond to whatever each student's needs may be.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching. I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Memorise the timetable.
2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods.
Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude.
I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.
What will not be covered in the course:
learning lists of verbs;
learning lists of nouns with articles;
learning words with their translations;
flashcards;
doing school exercises;
following the syllabus of a booklet;
imposing the English grammar on the German language.
What is particularly important to me:
to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm;
to encourage his creativity;
to befriend him with the language;
the letters and their sounds;
to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop;
to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences;
to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...;
to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary.
A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
Sebastian
Fun and Effective German course with Money-Back-Guarantee!I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French, and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German (in a fun and relaxed manner)!
I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations.
I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :)
Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together.
All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music, and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level!
Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of whom I even have met in real life.
I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages!
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs, and your wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you.
See you soon!
Bis bald!

German, English, French and Spanish for beginners, intermediate and advanced studentsI help both for private purposes, business and for school. My lessons are mainly result-oriented. It is my intention to achieve a maximum result in a pleasant way. I have already helped many children, young people and adults.
I adapt to the level and the intended result
I keep my lessons varied but still challenging.
I also really enjoy teaching students. I can teach them the basic knowledge they lack, while also working on the new knowledge they need to acquire.
I do my work with passion and 100% motivation.
It makes me happy to see that my students are also enjoying their progress, that's why I have a very good relationship with my students.

German for Beginners (Basics / Grammar / Vocabulary)Do you want to improve your knowledge of German, or would you like to start and learn the basics of this language? My advanced skills in German (Several years of teaching economics in German in higher education [ES level, tertiary B], various language stays (Berlin, Lucerne), practice in a professional environment), allow me to offer you the support and adequate monitoring in this language.
I offer you tailor-made support to help you better understand how this language works, in particular by reviewing the following points:
- Declensions (Nominative / Accusative / Dative / Genitive).
- Personal, reflexive, interrogative, relative, indefinite, demonstrative, possessive pronouns.
- Adverbs of place, time, manner.
- Prepositions with accusative, dative, genitive.
- Prepositions of place and time.
- Conjunctions (Such as: dass, weil, als, wenn, wann, ob, wie, während, bevor, nachdem, bis, seitdem, sobald, obwohl, ...).
- Conjugation (Present, past, perfect, past perfect, simple future, future perfect).
- Numbers (A 20, in letters, ordinal, to 100).
- Reading and understanding of texts.
- Oral.
- Introduce yourself.

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.

German course from A0 to C2 Level - Exam preperationHello dear student,
My name is Heba, I worked as a German translator for years, then I worked in a language school in Hamburg. There I gained valuable experience in the methodology of teaching foreign languages to children and adults.
According to my students, learning languages with me is a lot of fun and this makes me very happy because I help my students stay motivated until they reach their goal because I simply create an individual learning program for each student tailored to their needs. Language skills and needs.
So far I have met and worked with amazing students (of different ages) from all over the world.
My students achieve excellent results, which makes me very happy and proud!
Students often tell me that they have no knowledge of the German language or that they have already forgotten what they learned or that they have a language test soon and if I can help and my answer is: yes of course.
I work at your pace and according to your needs. Basically, the course covered several areas such as reading comprehension and pronunciation.
Since I love my job, I support my students via WhatsApp outside working hours and thus I am available to you at any time if you have any questions or need help. So feel free to contact me!
If you need more information, write to me and I will be happy to answer your questions.
I look forward to having you on my team soon because you deserve the best.
I'll see you later
