Information about Barbara

Hi, I am Barbara and am native German. In 2013 I started German Conversation sessions and it highlighted to me just how quickly you can improve a language and the confidence of the speaker by getting the pronunciation near correct. This is especially important now with the new GCSE`s curriculum.
I have lived in the UK with my English husband for the past 20 years. Our two children were raised bilingual by me and my eldest has passed the German GCSE with an A grade in year 9. My adult students` ability varies and my sessions are totally tailored to their specific needs.
In addition to being a German tutor I am also a professional pet photographer where my flexibility and patience comes in handy.

Availability: Generally speaking I work from Mo - Sat between 9.00am to 6.00pm. Mutual times to be agreed around already booked sessions.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Previous clients included adults/children/teens with pre-existing knowledge of German as well as no existing German for relocation purposes or for business relationships with German speaking clients.

When I started German Conversation in 2013 my sessions were with private school primary school children whose parents relocated to England after spending some time in Germany/German speaking countries. Some of these children have now moved on to private schools such as Eastbourne College and Tonbridge School, where they can continue to use their fantastic German pronunciation skills that they kept alive since their move to England.

Since then I have taught primary school children with no prior knowledge to German whose parents were relocation to a German speaking country. The emphasis here was not to go by the book but rather to impart knowledge of key phrases and customs to them to ease their transition to a new life in a different country.

Other clients include adults who want to brush up their knowledge of German prior to relocation to Germany, going on holiday or tutoring alongside the Goethe Institute courses.

Below is some feedback from recent years:

"I highly recommend Barbara as a tutor for German."

“As a native German speaker Barbara has helped my sons develop excellent spoken German, a skill they are often complimented on and which has helped them gain excellent results in their exams.”

"As well as being an excellent technical tutor, Barbara is also friendly, accommodating, and encouraging, and my sons are always happy to see her.”

"A quick note to say that we heard from Brighton College today that our son has won a scholarship?! His grades were fantastic including a number of A*s, one of which was for German! So thank you very much for your efforts with him. I`m sure he`ll have more to tell you next week."

"Barbara was in tune with the boys behaviour so as not to overwhelm them at any time. They both enjoyed their lessons. We would not hesitate to recommend her."

"Barbara has been the perfect fit for me. It was important for me to find a native Germans speaker from whom to learn the language. Barbara`s blend of humour and professionalism means I have no hesitation in recommending her as a Tutor."

Great tutoring! Barbara was a wonderful tutor. Very patient and helpful. The lessons were perfectly planned and structured which made the sessions very efficient and productive. My tutor went above and beyond to meet my needs, and has helped me improve my German language skills.
