Hi there,

My name's Nick and I'm a native German speaker. I've been teaching German to both school students (GCSE and A-Level exams) and professionals for over a decade.

I also served as an examiner for the oral portion of GCSE and A-Level exams, for both Edexcel and AQA, so I have a solid understanding of how these are run. My specialty is my strong interpersonal skills and ability to get students to open up and enjoy what could otherwise be a daunting experience: learning a foreign language.

I lived in London for a decade, although right now I'm travelling (thanks, finally open borders!) so please note *LESSONS WOULD HAPPEN ONLINE*.

> If you're a parent of a student who needs that boost for their exams, OR

> A busy professional who needs to improve their German for their work, ideally quickly

Get in touch by replying to this ad, or via WhatsApp (number should appear next to the ad).

My rates start at £35 for a 60-minute, 1:1 session.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Nick

(Students)

"Thank you for all your work with our son. We have appreciated your friendly, positive and professional approach. Your input has made a big difference and he went in to his German IGCSE feeling confident - something we could not have anticipated a few months ago!"

- Naomi, parent of Latymer Upper School student (son ended up with an 8)

"Excellent tutor - came in and immediately found my son's key weak spots and got to improving on them. He honestly learned more German within the first couple of sessions with Nick, than he did the entire previous term at school! I am happy to say that he ended up with a 7 in German, which is way above what he would have achieved without Nick's help."

- Felicity, parent of Latymer Upper School student

"I have been learning German with Nick for the last 3 months. Before I started private lessons with Nick I had tried group classes, learning online and downloading every app I could find for my phone. Within weeks of starting lessons with Nick my German improved enormously. My girlfriend, who is German, was so happy that I could finally start to converse with her and understand her when she spoke to me in German.

On first meeting Nick, he determined what level of German I was at and what areas we needed to concentrate so I could get to a good level of German. Nick goes through each topic and teaches it in a way that allows me to understand it. Nicks is very relaxed and patient when teaching and clearly enjoys what he does. I would recommend Nick to anyone who wants to learn or improve their German."

"I strongly recommend Nick as a German language tutor. He is well organized and methodical in his approach to learning the language. As a novice beginner, he made me feel at ease and tailored his lessons to meet my language needs. Nick has a passion for teaching and it was great to work with him!"

- Jeff, Retail Operations Specialist (US)

"Nick has been teaching me German for a few months now, in this time I have learnt so much.

As a mature student I was slightly apprehensive of taking on the daunting challenge, learning a new language, my fears are truly gone with Nicks guidance.

I highly recommend Nick, he's sharp, patient, attentive and accommodating.

He has numerous teaching techniques and strategies to overcome all problems.

If you follow his advice and do some autonomous learning you'll reach your goals for sure.

Many thanks Nick"

"Having already done a couple of beginner courses in German (group and private in Berlin) I found Nick the most helpful!!! After each of our lessons I walked away feeling like I had accomplished and understood more than in my other courses in Germany. I would highly recommend him!"

“I have been trying to learn German for several years for my job. I have been to classes, tried online courses, small group and private lessons, but actually lessons with Nick seem to work best for me. I really appreciate the effort he puts into tailoring the sessions to my specific strengths and weaknesses. He is a really gifted linguist and born teacher. It's not a hayride... he will push you, but it's well worth it. “

- Kristy, opera singer (Australia)
