Katja is a great tutor, especially if you need help with grammar!

Katja`s lessons were good for my daughter: they gave her confidence and she enjoyed maths, which was fabulous.

Peter (Mr)

We needed some short-term and short-notice help with some exam topics. Katja was flexible and helpful in sorting out some tutoring and tailoring this to what we needed.

Katja was given quite a task, to help my niece achieve an improved GCSE maths grade in a short time, but my niece says that it is working and her confidence and understanding have improved, since the lessons began.

Katja’s so nice and fun. I’ve really enjoyed my laid-back sessions with her and would definitely recommend her for someone who isn’t so keen on science and maths because she’ll explain everything super clearly. Thanks, Katja!

Katja is an extremely pleasant person. She very quickly made friends with our daughter and introduced maths in a friendly manner. I could see her moving from assessing child`s current level into teaching smoothly. She kept load just a tad above child`s current level to keep challenging but not pressuring. They both were in a flow doing maths and simply forgot about time and overrun our lesson, which didn`t bother Katja at all which shows her true passion. Pleasant, friendly professional who has a natural charisma perfectly matching children`s needs. Outstanding attitude towards sessions.

Katja is a lovely person, very polite and organised.

Katja taught our son both iGCSE Maths and Science. We were extremely satisfied with Katja`s teaching skills, her positive style, her patience and understanding. Our son really enjoyed his lessons and is feeling more confident about his forthcoming school term. We would therefore strongly recommend Katja.

Katja`s approach is excellent. She is very good at explaining things and takes time to ensure you understand. I am an adult learner and have found her methods very helpful.

Katja has been tutoring my 13 y/o son for a few months. He finds maths a challenge but he has found Katja great support. She explains things clearly; she knows the curriculum; she is patient with him and occasionally fun too. She sets good homework. He did really well in a maths test at school last week - we have no doubt it is because of Katja (and some hard work).

Katja was really friendly and put me at ease. I’m doing an entry exam for a business school which requires quantitative reasoning, about higher GSCE problems in a problem solving setting. I sent Katja a few problems in advance and she prepared the methods and solutions before she came! Then we went through them all and she helped me re-learn a lot of specific rules and methods that were relevant to the test. I’m really grateful to Katja for the effort she went to to help me. I would definitely use her again if I ever needed it.

Katja is an amazing tutor and our son absolutely loved his lessons with her. Although his course was short-term, our son made a remarkable progress. Katja has a systematic approach to teaching and is able to inspire and encourage the students to do their best. Thank you!

Over the past few weeks Katja has been online tutoring my daughter, who intends to study A level German and currently has lots of spare time now that her GCSES are cancelled due to covid. The tutoring is proving very successful. Katja is engaging, thorough and lively. My daughter is keeping up with her German conversation whilst also consolidating existing, and learning new, grammar. Plenty of homework to keep her busy in lockdown too. We are really pleased.

Wendy (Mrs)

I am enjoying my lessons with Katja very much. She is very friendly and professional. The materials she has provided me with are clear, succinct, easy to understand and allow me to practice what I have learned. She is helping me to keep motivated and interested in progressing with the learning. Five stars.

Katja is an extremely accomplished Physics tutor. In just two lessons my son’s knowledge, understanding, enthusiasm and test outcomes had greatly improved. Katja has a lovely way which my son appreciated

Christian (Mr)

Katja was my maths tutor preparing me for my GCSE`s for 4 months. In that time she drastically improved my abilities at problem solving and understanding of maths. She was also extremely accommodating for unforeseen situations such as the recent pandemic. Lessons with her were fun and went by quickly and after every lesson I felt that I had improved or at least found a weakness to work on. Every lesson felt thought out and deliberate and she was extremely encouraging even when I made simple mistakes.

Katja is a really great German tutor, I am so glad we found her for my son. He takes German for his GCSEs, and was really struggling before. One hour a week with Katja, online, and all his problems are sorted. I am also very impressed that Katja gives him material to help him revise - such as the list of German verbs (I think? I don`t know German at all, just saw that he is printing booklets from Katja) and rules of grammar. Really really impressed. We are definitely keeping the lessons all the way until the GCSE. One complaint about the site: the online lessons via the tutorhunt platform didn`t work at first, but were sorted the week after (not a complaint about Katja at all, obviously - she was great and we found a temporary solution for that week).

Kate (Mrs)

We cannot recommend Katja highly enough. Our daughter was really struggling with German GCSE after a succession of poor teachers had destroyed her confidence. Within a week of working with Katja she got her German mojo back, and she actively looks forward to the lessons. Katja has been extremely professional, enthusiastic and responsive to work with and we are very grateful to have found her. We would strongly recommend her to any prospective student, and take this opportunity to thank her sincerely for all she`s done for us.

Ravender (Mr)

Katja is an excellent teacher who will explain everything in a clear and engaging manner, for example German cases, which I struggle with. I can`t recommend her highly enough.

Bernardo (Mr)

Katja is a truly dedicated, creative and patient tutor!

Agata (Ms)

Literally the best language teacher I’ve had (and I had many!). Everything is explained logically with examples and is fun. Katja pays a lot of attention to detail and corrects my speech, writing, etc. I wish I had met her in my primary school. It would have been my favourite subject then!

Izzy (Miss)
14/03/2019

I`ve been having lessons with Katja for a couple of months now and am finding our lesson extremely helpful. As my A-levels are approaching, she has been very supportive and adaptable with what I need to learn and has made me feel more comfortable with German as a whole. Overall I feel that my German has improved with Katja`s help.

Emily (Mrs)

Katja has been really great for my daughter. She has given her confidence and helped her for her mock exams. Katja is really flexible and when we have had to change our lesson at short notice this has never been a problem.

Gabriela (Ms)

Katja is a very professional german teacher and always makes sure her students engage with the topic.
I would recommend her for those wanting to learn german!

Jane (Mrs)

Katja was excellent at my introductory lesson. She made me feel at ease, listened to my goals and outlined a flexible way forward to suit my requirements as I am feeling my way in which this language will work for me. She also has a good way of bringing to life points she makes.

Benjamin (Mr)

I am very happy with choosing to learn with Katja. She was welcoming and helped me past first lesson shyness :).

Stella (Mrs)

We only had the introductory lesson, but the accommodation was not suitable for tutoring a child of 9 years old and tutor was unable to commute to our home. We were unable to proceed. Katja was friendly and my daughter would have enjoyed being tutored by her, but unfortunately it was not meant to be.

Giorgio (Mr)

Katja is very competent, helpful and her teaching method is effective.

Kieran (Mr)

Katja is an excellent tutor. There are other great tutors on this site but what I believe sets Katja apart is:

1) her stage training means she has an excellent, technical understanding of pronunciation - she is very good on where exactly to place one`s tongue, lips etc to produce those strange German sounds.

2) she is a native German speaker but also has excellent English and is therefore able to explain, in English, tricky grammatical concepts which someone with a poorer grasp of English would struggle to make clear.

3) she is very good on where colloquial usage differs from more formal ways of speaking which might, in some contexts, make one sound quaint or old fashioned. There are several habits I was taught in school which I am am unlearning!

4) Katja is flexible about what aspects of the language are taught in our sessions. I am comfortable learning vocabulary in my own time and as such we focus on grammar and conversation.

5) she is also flexible on when sessions take place, which is particularly useful as a freelancer myself.

Joyce (Mrs)

Excellent tutoring. She is very flexible, which works well for my son. I love her method of teaching German and I feel more relaxed about the progress he is making in school since he started with Katja.
