In short time frame we have seen a marked improvement in the feedback from school and test results for our son. With Kathy's help we are confident our son will get a good grade in his IB German.
I am really pleased with Rohan's progress. He works hard, responds well to advice and I feel confident he will achieve a very good result if he continues to work so well.
From Jasmine
I enjoy the well-defined structure of Kathy's lessons. Kathy has increased my confidence in myself about my German A-Level studies, through provision of an extensive bank of vocabulary and resources each lesson. Whenever I ask Kathy for support on a very specific grammar point that I am struggling with, for example, I get really sound advice. Kathy is extremely approachable and communicative, both within lessons and outside lessons (via email) and ensures that the lessons are tailored to my own needs and queries. I would highly recommend Kathy for support in A-Level German. ~ M.S… Year 12 student
Thanks Meera. It is a pleasure to be able to help you. I really enjoy teaching you. Kathy
From Natalie
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your work with Owen over the last couple of months. I know Owen went in to his German exam today in a much more comfortable position than had he not had the his time with you. I will of course keep you updated on his results in August but regardless, you have done a wonderful job with Owen. I hope that he will take from this that with the right support and some effort you can turn things around.
Thank you. It was great to see Owen's confidence grow and was particularly nice to learn that he was enjoying learning the language once more.

From Olu
We have only been with Kathy for 3 weeks but the impact she has made is tremendous. She is very friendly, consistent and attentive to our needs. She is one of the best we've ever had!
Thank you. It is always a pleasure to teach attentive and diligent students.
From Pree
Kathy is really friendly, keen and well-organised. Kathy was very efficient in communicating with me before we started the lessons. We only started with Kathy a month ago but my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the lessons she had and feels that it will help with her GCSEs. Looking forward working with Kathy in the future.
Thank you for your kind comments. Your daughter is hard working, well motivated and totally focussed in lessons. She is a pleasure to teach and I am confident that she will do very well.
From Nigel
Very structured, informative and supportive.
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure you will do very well.
From Laura
Kathy has been an excellent German tutor for my daughter. We only started with Kathy three months ago and the improvements have been significant. I find that My daughter is more confident in German speaking and writing. The proof of this is that my daughter achieved an 8 in her recently concluded gcse mocks. I am very pleased with her style of teaching and have no hesitation in recommending Kathy.
Valerie has worked really well and it is great to see her make such good progress. I am enjoying teaching her immensely!
From James
Kathy is extremely pleasant, enthusiastic and well-organised. James immediately felt at ease and was amazed at how much ground he covered in just his first lesson. The email sent immediately after the lesson showing what was covered and what needs to be worked on is extremely useful. James looks forward very much to working with Kathy over the coming year to refine his German speaking and writing skills, in particular.
Thank you. It is enjoyable and very rewarding to work with such a well-motivated student with so much potential. James has a great attitude and is keen to learn. I am sure he will do very well and I too look forward to working with him over the coming year.
From Elana
Kathy is an excellent tutor and my son thoroughly enjoys his sessions. He has gained confidence since he has been seeing Kathy. His German has improved a great deal and he has a better understanding of the language now. I would highly recommend Kathy as a tutor.
Thank you! It is lovely to see Jack's confidence growing.
From Stephanie
My 15 year old son found Kathy very easy to talk to and thought the help she gave him very beneficial. Kathy also replied to all my emails very promptly and couldn’t have been more helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone’s child who is taking GCSEs.
Tom is a pleasure to teach. He listens carefully and always tries his best. I am sure he will do well!
From Lara
My son who is due to start in year 8 has had 3 hour long sessions with Kathy so far. He has found them extremely beneficial and says each one has been like 10 normal German lessons in school and that he has gained so much. Kathy has been extremely professional and organised from the initial arranging of the sessions to the follow up emails containing the material covered and any homework. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who wishes to progress in learning German.
Thank you! He is a pleasure to teach and I am sure that he will continue to make excellent progress.
From Nicola
Having disliked studying languages at school I was apprehensive about learning German for a forthcoming job move. However, I needn't have worried; Kathy is keen for you to start speaking the language as soon as possible, developing the use of grammar as you progress. She is supportive but encourages you to be self reliant and I've learnt so much already. She is also very good company which is an added bonus. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Thank you. You are making excellent progress and I enjoy teaching you!
