I am a professional native German speaker living in the UK for the last 20 years.

Having learned foreign languages myself, I understand the difficulties students face and apply methods to overcome those challenges.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have a degree in simultaneous translation from the University of Munich in French, Spanish and German.
