Build accuracy, listening and speaking skills with exam preparation matched to the pupil's current level and goals
Effective exam preparation is about more than revising vocabulary. It means knowing what to expect, understanding where marks are gained and practising the skills needed to perform confidently under exam conditions.
We use recent assessments and school feedback to identify the areas where your child needs the most support. This may include:
Lessons are planned around the specification, your child’s level and the areas where they can make the most progress
Develop answers that sound natural rather than memorised. We work on pronunciation, fluency, interaction, role-play or discussion as required by the exam.
Formulate well-organised answers that address every part of the question.
Find the information needed for each question
Identify key details, even when you do not understand every word
Yes. I can arrange a free video chat so we can discuss your goals and availability, talk through how the lessons could work, and get to know each other before you decide whether to book.
I support AQA and Pearson Edexcel GCSE and A-Level German, National 5 and Higher through Qualifications Scotland (formerly SQA), and IB German. We confirm the exact specification before tuition begins.
Yes. A mock can help identify the most urgent language and technique gaps. The plan then prioritises the areas most likely to improve performance and confidence.
Yes. Lessons can cover role-plays, photo cards, prepared themes, conversation and follow-up questions according to the relevant specification.
Earlier preparation allows more time to strengthen the language itself, but shorter focussed programmes can still target urgent weaknesses before mocks or final examinations.
I cannot guarantee a particular grade. Tuition provides targeted teaching, practise and feedback; the result also depends on your starting point, work between lessons and examination performance.
Lessons start at £45 for a 60-minute session. Each session is planned around the student’s course, current level and exam priorities, with practise and clear guidance on what to improve next.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please give at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible. This helps me manage the timetable fairly and offer the slot to another learner.
Payment is preferably made once a month, in advance, for the lessons scheduled during the following month. Payment is by bank transfer, and I will confirm the amount and payment details in advance. For greater scheduling flexibility, you can also book a block of 5 or 10 lessons to use over an agreed period.
Send the qualification, exam board, current working level and any areas of concern. I’ll then suggest how tuition could be structured around your child’s needs.
