I am a native German and a fully qualified secondary school teacher with QTS and up to date DBS.
I have lived in London for 20 years, completed a BA(Hons) quailfication (First Class), worked as a film editor before completing my PGCE in MFL in 2010.
I have been working as a secondary school teacher for over a decade now, teaching KS2 & 3 French, as well as KS3, KS4 and KS5 German. I am experienced in teaching students of all abilities ranging from age 8 to adult learners.
Alongside my teaching career I have also conducted exam preparation revision courses at private Sixth Form colleges in Central London and tutored many students over the years on a 1:1 or 2:1 basis.
I specialize in exam preps for GCSE and A-Level German and have been a GCSE examiner for two exam boards for 10 years now meaning I have in-depth understanding of the exam requirements.
Whatever your requirements - we all learn in different ways - I can adapt to each learning preferences and am keen to make a plan that works best for you. I have a huge range of resources, past papers, grammar exercises etc!

Silke has been teaching my son for his German AS level for about 2 months now and he has made a great progress. Silke is puncutual and reliable and very well organised for each session which sound good fun too. There are always great notes of vocabulary after each lesson which is very helpful.
