Katja

Hello, my name is Katja.

I am a native German freelancer working in London, who has made private tuition one of her main sources of income and work, as I find working with students greatly rewarding and satisfying.

I graduated from (the German equivalent to) Grammar School with an A average after which I did my Bachelor degree for which I was awarded a scholarship here in London, graduating in the top set of my year.

I have been a private tutor since 2009. At first it served as a way to support myself throughout school and university, but it has turned into my bread and butter.

I enjoy teaching students of all ages and abilities immensely. Seeing someone develop throughout the course of our work together is extremely rewarding and the reason I have continued to work as a private tutor for all these years.

My tuition subjects are German, Maths and Physics.

Being a native German speaker, I enjoy sharing my mother tongue with students from all around the world.

I have always had a passion for science and sparking curiosity in students. Understanding the world and universe we live in, is in my opinion one of the most empowering things we can do. I do not only aim to help my students improve their grades, but encourage them to find a deeper understanding and fun in the subjects they initially might have a lack of enthusiasm for.

My lessons are tailored to the specific needs of my students. I follow their school curriculum to support their learning at school but alter from it, if I find a different approach to a certain topic would be beneficial to the student or if a certain topic needs more detailed attention.

The same goes for my adult learner students. We all have a busy daily schedule and I acknowledge that, while still keeping a focus on the goal set in the beginning of our lessons. The balance between structure and fun is the sweet spot, where learning becomes an enriching experience.

In my opinion, learning is a team effort between the teacher and the student.

I understand that times are financially challenging. Therefore I offer online lessons only, but at a temporarily reduced rate. Please get in touch if you are in need of help.

Availability: As a freelancer my availability varies. Please get in touch to find out my current availability.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Since 2009 I have been private tutoring students of different ages and abilities.

In the UK alone, I have been teaching students from the age of 5 up to adult learners in German.
Included in those were children of German parents, who wanted help raising their children bilingually, as well as UK students, who need help improving their German skills in school and adults, who want to learn the language to raise their career opportunities. At the moment I focus on students from the age of 13 upwards.

My main focus group in Maths and Physics and are students from the age of 11 to 16 (Levels KS3 to GCSE).

I am able to communicate material that might sound hard and unmanageable in school in a clearer way, so that most of my students get a much better and deeper grasp of the subject. They are then able to transfer these acquired skills to their school work.
