KS3 German Private Tutor for Year 7, 8 and 9

Learning KS3 German in Year 7, 8 or 9 at school or as part of a home schooling journey can be simple for many students. However, there are other years 7s, 8s and 9s who find the German language a challenge. Whether you find the German language easy to understand or a little complicated, don’t worry! I would be happy to help you or a child you know to:

1. Develop confidence in speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and translation
2. Practise KS3 German material in detail
3. Stretch and challenge a bit further
4. Prepare for GCSE German examinations early
5. Catch up with the language level of other students if you have moved schools and changed languages

Hallo! I am Sabina. I am a fully-qualified secondary German teacher with over eleven years of language teaching experience. I am currently based in South Lincolnshire, but am an online, private KS3 German tutor to students in England, Scotland & Wales, as well as home-educated students (aged 10 to 13) in France, China and other countries too . If you are looking for an international private German tutor in London, France, China, India, Hong Kong, Dubai or anywhere else, I can help you with online tutoring. A device and a good enough internet connection are all you will need!

As a qualified KS3 German teacher who is extremely enthusiastic about teaching languages, I can help you to improve your confidence from the very first lesson! In turn, aiding you to achieve the grades you deserve and build up the confidence to succeed in your German learning journey.

With a little support from me, all of my KS3 German students in years 7,8 and 9 will be able to:

1. develop confidence in all exam skills, including: speaking, listening, writing, translation and reading
2. build vocabulary by topic and through use
3. understand grammar points more easily and use them in ‘real’ examples
4. improve skills and techniques for tests
5. gain an understanding of how to improve grades
6. enjoy learning the German language

• I am a fully qualified KS3 German teacher
• I have both German language and professional teaching qualifications
• I have over 11 years of teaching experience
• I visit my family in Germany regularly
• I have an unwavering passion for the German language
• I love helping students to achieve their goals, whether it’s developing confidence, understanding or improving grades

I feel it’s important to be an example for students and so having German language qualifications is important:

1. GCSE German – Grade A* – (highest grade at the time in 2003)
2. A Level German – Grade A – (highest grade at the time in 2005)
3. BA (Hons) Modern Language Studies in French and German  – 2:1 (whilst working full-time and studying for a Diploma in Management Studies and studying for my Cert. TESOL)

With eleven years of private teaching experience, college level teaching experience and four years of teaching experience in secondary schools in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, I have taught thousands of students at different levels and with different needs and have relevant teaching qualifications.

1. Cert. TESOL (2008) PASS
   Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
2. QTS (2015) OUTSTANDING
   Qualified Teacher Status
3. PGCE (2015) MERIT
   Post Graduate Certificate of Education Secondary Modern Languages

My teaching method at KS3 German level, and in general, focuses on you and your needs. I have a lot of experience as a private KS3 German tutor. In addition, I believe the following steps help my year 7, year 8 and year 9 students achieve the best results.

1. During the first lesson, we’ll establish what you feel are your ‘problem areas’ and your strengths – I am happy to have an informal, no obligation chat with parents beforehand to confirm that I can help.
2. We’ll spend about 20-30 minutes doing some varied diagnostic activities on speaking, listening, reading, translation, writing, vocabulary and grammar in the first lesson to check the student’s current understanding and level.
3. I’ll suggest areas of improvement and we’ll begin working on those, combined with the issues the student feels they would like to develop.
4. We can decide on the frequency of lessons, depending upon availability and affordability.
5. I offer a homework task to consolidate learning, if required between the lessons.
6. Completing homework for KS3 German certainly accelerates progress in year 7, 8 and 9 students, especially if you want to progress quickly.

Every student has different needs, but one of the key factors for most German language learners is confidence. Building confidence is often really important. Knowing that you can speak, or that you can understand a language makes a huge difference at KS3 level and beyond.

We work on your confidence with plenty of fun, interactive and effective activities. These check, test and push you to feel more confident communicating in German. I teach KS3 German to home-educated students, students who study German in years 7-9 at school, as well as students looking to take their GCSE German exams early. I have also worked with adults to help them improve their German too! Below, you fill find some reviews from a few students that I have taught recently

I have been teaching German at KS3 level for nine years in secondary schools and privately. Not only have I had and have had fantastic success with private students, some who I’ve tutored for one year before sitting their GCSE German examinations and some for just 3 months, but I’ve also had excellent results with A Level students who have achieved Grade As whilst working with me and got into Russell Group of Universities to study.

If you or someone you know needs a bit of help or support with their German in Years 7, 8 or 9. Or if you know someone looking for a private KS3 German tutor to teach on-line or in person, please do get in touch. I am based in West Pinchbeck, South Lincolnshire near Spalding, Stamford, Boston, Peterborough and surrounding areas. I teach KS3 German from my premises, as well as to learners all over the UK and the world via Skype online.

I have helped private KS3 German students who need a bit of private tutoring, students in years 7-9 who need help building confidence, as well as home-school students in-person and online.

Online lessons produce just as good results as face to face lessons, providing you have a good internet connection! I am friendly, approachable and really willing to help. I generally have Monday to Friday day-time and evening availability and so can normally work with you to improve KS3 German at a time that suits.
