Information about Kim

Available for 1-2-1 and group French and German tuition.

Patient, reliable, hard working and friendly, I am able to work at the pace of the learner to achieve their objectives. This may be that you’re working towards GCSE/A-level exams or perhaps a mature learner keen to learn a new language or revisit an existing one. Each of my lessons is tailored to you and your requirements and I use activities involving all language skills in my lessons - comprehension, listening, translation, speaking, grammar and writing.

I am very familiar with the AQA GCSE & A-level syllabus and am able to work alongside students, who wish to have tutoring for exams.

I launched my own tutoring company in 2014 and offer tuition to local learners as well as those further a field via Zoom. I focus on tutoring KS3, GCSE and A level students as well as teaching beginner, intermediate and advanced levels to adults in French, German and English for Speakers of Other Languages.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: After graduating in French and German, I worked full time in an international company using my languages and worked my way up to being a Global Customer Care Manager for EMEA. I was in charge of a multi-lingual department and worked there for 11 years, regularly travelling to France, Switzerland, Austria and Germany using my languages.

In 2014 I set up my own tuition company, specialising in French and German tuition for adults and children. My corporate clients have included Fox and Bahlsen as well as having worked at Wycombe High School, High Wycombe taking YR12 & 13 French A-level conversation classes.

As well as running my own company, I work part time as a Bucks County Council Adult Learning Tutor (since 2014). I currently teach beginners through to advanced French and German classes to adults. I was nominated for the Bucks Adult Learning Tutor of the Year Award in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019. I have also been given the role of Language Mentor for new language tutors at Bucks Adult Learning.

I am a mother of three and also have a valid CRB certificate as well.

I can’t recommend Kim enough. Every lesson is engaging and fun with a mix of conversation and more traditional learning of the grammar. Kim’s approach is really flexible and can tailor the lessons to the areas that you want to learn. Fantastic.

Mrs Kim has been helping my son with his GCSE French via online lessons. He has found her lessons interesting and has enjoyed them and it has also resulted in an improvement in a significant improvement in his predicted GCSE grade. We have no hesitation in recommending Mrs Kim should you be looking for a French language tutor.

Kim quickly assessed my current level of German, and listened and responded brilliantly to what I wanted to get out of German Tuition. She prepares for sessions tailoring them to my preferences and needs. She has been really helpful in introducing me to appropriate texts, and on line support. I can recommend her highly.

I would sincerely recommend Kim to anyone looking to see any improvement in their language studies. Kim tutored my son, Kieran for roughly 5 months, aiding him in his A Level German studies and I can’t express how large the transformation was. We sought the help of Kim following a disappointing result in Kieran’s mock exams, when he attained a grade D in German, especially since he needed a B to go to his chosen university. Kim’s friendly and welcoming manner made Kieran feel at ease and he genuinely enjoyed going to Kim each week. Every week, Kim’s lessons were fully planned and she always had extra work on hand for Kieran to take away if he either struggled with something or for further practice. If Kieran wrote an essay, Kim would always thoroughly mark it and work through any mistakes which had been made and would always base the lessons around what Kieran needed. Throughout the 5 months, Kim covered a huge wealth of German whether it was reading, writing, listening or practice for the oral exam. In terms of value for money, Kim is worth every pound as the work which she put in, as well as the results which come as a result are incredible. We are so glad that we chose Kim to be Kieran’s tutor and would recommend her highly.

Kim is an excellent tutor - patient, professional, and highly organised. She has been helping my son through GCSE French and German and his ability and confidence have grown massively. Thanks to her tuition, he has gone from a looking at a middling B to being confident of achieving A*. Highly recommended.

Kim! Always prepared, lesson organized from the first minute to the last one, but also ready to do something else when you need it. It is always pleasure to see her fun as well.

I have only had one lesson with Kim so far but can confirm that she is professional and patient, which is exactly what I was looking for. Having tried for two years to find a local tutor, I am very pleased to have found Kim (Mrs) whom I would recommend to anyone.

Kim is a wonderful tutor and I would highly recommend her. My son is sitting his German GCSE this year and in the 6 months that Kim has been working with him, his grades have improved considerably, his confidence has grown in both his written and oral German and he really enjoys the lessons with her. She is very organised, her lessons are well prepared with plenty of resources, she is reliable, friendly and she always provides lots of encouragement and helpful advice.

Kim was excellent at boosting my daughters confidence in preparation for A level speaking exam. She always did comprehensive research to assist in topics discussed making each session productive and a solid stepping stone to exam.

Kim is a very engaging teacher, always prepares lessons in advanced and keeps to a pace that’s right for me. I am very happy with my progress so far and would highly recommend her. Everyone leans in different ways and I feel she has adapted to my way of learning which is keeping me motivated and helping me not just to learn the language but to also understand it.
