I taught French and German for 30 years in London secondary schools before taking early retirement in July 2022. Since then, I have been offering private tuition in French, German and EAL at all levels.
I have excellent testimonials from satisfied past and present clients. These can be made available on request and can be independently verified.
I have access to the most up to date materials and resources needed to successfully deliver GCSE, IGCSE, A level and IB tuition in both French and German.
I have marked GCSE exams for both AQA and Edexcel so understand what is required to succeed in MFL public exams.
I am a well qualified and experienced teacher of Modern Foreign & Classical Languages with over 30 years experience teaching in local State and Independent Schools and in adult and further education colleges. I have taught French, German, Spanish, Italian, Classics and Latin from Key Stage 3 through to A- Level and am a GCSE examiner for the Pearson Edexcel exam board. I am a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists.
In my lessons, my goal is to teach you, with fun, humour and encouragement, how to use language confidently in listening, speaking, reading and writing and of course backing this up with a very sound knowledge of those building blocks called grammar. In Latin, the grammar based language study is backed up with a fun and detailed look at the historical period and the set texts. We all have differing learning needs and goals which are worked out well in advance of the first lesson so that the approach is tailor made for you so that you ultimately find the learning experience a rewarding and enjoyable one. When teaching , I use my experience of being an examiner to show you what the exam paper is really asking for and how you can ensure you get the marks and ,quite easily, exceed target. Just ask any of my former pupils! I am very friendly, patient and approachable, always encouraging with a strong belief that bit by bit you will succeed in whichever goal you have made for yourself?
I am really looking forward to meeting you all soon and helping you with your studies.

Harriet lived in Spain on the Costa Blanca for sixteen years where she grew up speaking the Spanish language with fluency. During this time Harriet taught at an International Language School in Spain and decided to return to the UK, where she was educated at Rugby School and then went on to obtain her degree in Spanish at the University of Chester.
In 2010 she set up The Spanish Academy, offering Spanish tuition to adults & children of all ages, and also became a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists. She has taught in a variety of secondary schools across Norfolk & Cambridgeshire and specialises in Spanish GCSE & A level tuition. After ten successful years, she is now tutoring on an online platform as well as face to face and teaching students from some of the UK’s top public schools such as Eton, Harrow & Radley.
Langauges that are offered at the Spanish Academy include Spanish, French, Italian and German. All lessons are also available to be carried out online via Zoom at a time to suit you weekly.
I have been tutoring for over 10 years and concentrate mainly on GCSE. I teach many adults from scratch or picking up where they left at school. I teach as I learned, not as a native speaker, but as a language lover who enjoyed languages at school and at university and aim to support my students by helping them with grammar and vocabulary so that they can make good progress.
When my own children were doing their GCSE's, helping them lead me to discover how much I loved teaching. All my lessons are very much tailor-made to suit the needs of each person and if teaching on-line I email notes after each lesson. I always go the extra mile for my students particularly in the run up to important exams and assessments.
I am foreign language conversation assistant at Dame Alice Owens School in Hertfordshire.
Trial 30 minute lesson on Zoom, Skype or face to face free of charge.
Review via Nextdoor Oct 2023: A friend and I are enjoying Skype based lessons with Paula. She is always very well prepared. She is flexible and ensures that our conversation and grammar lessons are integrated into the other work we are doing. She provides full and helpful notes of our sessions, together with relevant homework. We laugh a lot too as she also has a good sense of humour
Fiona: Paula has such a gift for languages and is able to teach in a way that gives her students a real understanding and love of the language. You can see how much confidence she gives to her students and their exam results clearly reflect this.
I highly recommend Paula!

I possess over ten years of experience in teaching and private tutoring.

I am an academic by profession and I have been a personal tutor for 8 years on various website including online and in person. My goal is to share my knowledge with people of all age groups who are interested in learning a foreign language and humanities subjects either for personal exams or just for fun. I also aim to make my lessons as enjoyable as possible not just for the sake of breaking the "monotony" of classroom style teaching, but also because I want to engage with my tutees in order to help them achieve their best results in the most efficient way possible. Plus, I personally believe that everyone is competent and capable of learning any subject or language as long as the relationship between tutors and students are on the same page, and the lessons are made to be more engaging and reachable.

Hi, I´m Helena, I am a native German and I simply love tutoring. I am enthusiastic about languages, and I hope I can inspire you. At school, I learned 3 foreign languages and so I was also in the position of being a second-language learner myself and can relate to the struggles, but also the passion, of learning new languages. I would love to help you improve your German: whether spoken, written, improving your accent, or simply building your vocabulary. I also help with or conduct German translations. I will first find out the level of German you are currently at and what you intend to learn. I will measure your strengths and weaknesses and create a tailored lesson plan. The focus of my tutoring will be set on the area which is the most difficult for you to learn, whether that is grammar, vocabulary, conversation skills or other. I work with a great variety of materials, ranging from traditional documents and task sheets to films, articles, and language games. In my opinion, it is very important that you have fun during lessons, so I always try to come up with new ideas. I give my best talking slowly and understandably, so you will see progress quickly and benefit from the lesson. I have already recognized my passion for teaching as a German, Maths and English tutor and as a sports coach in Germany. More recently I began teaching German here in the UK both in person as well as virtually. To make sure that I support my students in the most effective way, I informed myself about the UK school system and the existing expectations regarding both curriculum and exams. Additionally, I could already gain some tutoring experience for international students. I have a great deal of satisfaction when I see students building confidence, becoming competent and being able to speak German more and more fluently. I am from a small town in Bavaria, the southern Germany. After my studies of health promotion and 3 years of gaining work experiences, I decided to do one year off and spend it in the UK. I love to travel and doing sports like playing soccer, going running and hiking.
I’ve been learning languages since I was a child and taught them for many years, most recently German and English. I have an Honours Modern Languages Degree from Trinity College Dublin and spent my year abroad in West Berlin. I'm proud to say I have achieved a near-native speaker level competency in German. Over the years, I've developed my own way of doing things and I've found by experience that the best way to learn a language is by consuming interesting and useful material, such as video clips, audio recordings with transcripts, dialogues, articles and other material. That's what I use to help my students both during tuition and in self-study. To learn, you need to actively engage with the material, not passively watch it, skim over it or try to listen to it in your sleep! You need to work intensively with the text or transcript and do follow-up exercises. You need to hear it as well as read it. Too many course books neglect audio and rely too much on the written word. As well as a tutor and content creator I am also a content curator. I select media from YouTube and the German-speaking media and carefully produce transcripts, exercises, side-by-side translations, vocab lists and grammar explanations, all saved electronically in my Mediathek or media library. I have built up several course books' worth of material. For beginners and new learners, I can provide samples of course books that you can purchase online and can recommend online language learning services that you can use as part of your German language programme. By the way, I consider the concept of ‘homework’ to be outmoded. Instead, you need to do lots of self-study as well as group or 121 lessons. I provide audio, video and written materials to students in advance of the lesson rather than during the lesson. Students can study them and prepare them at their own pace. Then in the lesson, we can concentrate on practice, consolidation and having a fun time reading aloud, acting out dialogues and roleplay as well as looking at interesting grammar points. I provide follow-up materials, including lesson notes, translation and writing assignments, recommendations for further study. I often talk about good language learning methods as well as some questions about the underlying principles of language learning Fun, flexibility, fluency. That’s what I aim for in my courses and tuition. Language learning should be fun. It should be an interesting, stress-free, enjoyable activity, not a chore! I’m flexible, that means I always try to accommodate the interests and ability of my students. If there are occasional last-minute changes of plan, that's not a problem. Payment is flexible too. Fluency is a key goal, but accuracy is important too. You can be fluent in a language, but make lots of errors. You can have a high level of accuracy, but lack fluency. We should aim for a good balance between the two. I have developed a different approach to grammar. It's better to learn grammar within the context of the material that you’re working with. Every word, phrase and sentence of the foreign language provides you with examples to learn from I encourage my students to be like Sherlock Holmes, to actively look out for patterns and clues that will help them to learn. In mid-2021 I started to do short themed courses on specific topics. The first one was for intermediate level students on the subject of the police in Germany, using video clips and roleplay and articles. Further course topics include 'Simplifying the German cases', 'Living in and escaping from the GDR' and 'Differences between Germany and Austria'. My courses and tuition are open to anyone, anywhere via Zoom. I offer all my courses via Zoom and despite its occasional technical shortcomings, it works extremely well. I can teach students anywhere and in the Age of Covid, it’s 100% safe. For all sessions, I write notes as we go along and display the file on screen. That serves as my whiteboard and as a diary of everything we’ve covered. Where necessary I can record audionotes, a mini-podcast of around 5 minutes summing up the main points of the lesson, including pronunciation of difficult words. I'm tech-savvy and make full use of present-day technology. My journalistic experience is useful for language learning. I also have experience with filmmaking and drama. In group sessions, we often adopt a theatrical approach with dialogues, as if they were the script of a play or movie. That makes it more fun and more challenging. You don’t have to have great acting ability, although speaking a foreign language is actually a little like acting.
By the way, air travel is a favourite theme of mine. You'll see it in my profile photos and videos. I used to work at an airport. It's a theme that's very relevant to language learning. So why not join one of my group courses or become one of my one-to-one students? And you can try one of my themed short courses as a taster. Just get in contact, I can usually reply straight away or within a few hours. Vielen Dank, many thanks!
