Information about Mara

Hi, my name is Mara. I am 23 years old and currently studying Speech and language Therapy at the University of Greenwich. I am German and moved to England in 2019 to work at the Sheiling Ringwood, a school and college for special needs. I initially began as a volunteer, I relished the role and therefore strived to gain full time employment. My job as a support worker included the role of a teaching assistant. After working as a full-time support worker for two years, I decided to widen my horizons and went studying.

Availability: I will be teaching on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 16:00 and Friday I am available all day.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Working in the school and college gave me insight into the latest teaching methods and developed my skill to cater to differing needs. As a result, this ignited my passion for teaching others of varying educational levels.
Whilst I was working, I completed the IAO Diploma Level 3 for residential childcare. The course covers child development, including development theories and legal backgrounds for children in care. It also encompasses learning about neuro-typical children, and those with SEN. Additionally to my Abitur (German A levels), I obtained my IELTs test for English proficiency here in England and Functional skills level 2 in maths. This fostered my passion to assist others on their academic journey and further developed my recognition that every student has their own individual needs and requirements. This gave me knowledge of how to teach English as a foreign language. The process of completing the IELT made me reflect on the basics of the language and how would be best to teach the language building up.
In my tutoring lessons, I will be focusing on conversational German, German for adult learners, KS3 and GCSE level. When I learnt to speak English, I found this was the most sufficient way to learn the language and become confident in speaking it. I will assess your level and tailor the lesson accordingly to encompass the areas that need addressing. I hope to boost your confidence and in turn zeal for German. This will be through targeted exercises. I will incorporate interactive and engaging games throughout the lesson; this is to ensure the lesson remains engaging and fresh.
I did not attend school in the UK, but I have done thorough research into the curriculum to ascertain what topics are relevant in these subjects for each stage. Moreover, I have a mentor, who is an experienced tutor, and they will help me plan the lessons and check the lessons reviews. I am new to online tuition, but I have done in-depth research about teaching methods and had many conversations with my mentor about what successful approaches are. I will also draw on the skills I gained when working as a teaching assistant.
Please contact me if you are interested in signing up for lessons. I look forward to helping you/your child flourish and excel. My goal is to help my students achieve their full potential. I am keen to help foster a passion for learning languages and additional topics. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have been learning with Mara for a while now and she is fantastic, she is really good at explaining things to me in a way that I can understand. Mara prepares the lesson beforehand and also asks if there’s anything that I’d particularly like to learn or could find useful in German. Thank you

Mara is super! She spends time listening to what I would like to focus on and my goals, and creates fun lessons with different activities to focus on these. Mara spends time explaining any questions I have and I have already noticed how much confident I am at speaking. I would 100% recommend Mara :))

Mara made me feel very much at eas, listened to my goals and discussed how we could achieve them in subsequent lessons. I have been learning German via duolingo; Mara has already helped with pronunciation, sentence structure and useful phrases. Mara set me a piece of homework and I look forward to our next lesson.
