Hallo, ich bin Katja
I am a native German Tutor with over 12 years of experience. I have tutored numerous private students and many well-known corporate clients.
I also have worked for over a decade at the Goethe Institut London where I qualified as an examiner for all Goethe Exams from level A1 to C2. During my career I have taught German to over 1000 students and helped many people pass their exams. My work is my passion, so I want my students to succeed.
Meet the Founder
I was born in the Black Forest in Germany and now I live in London. I have been a native German tutor and examiner for over 15 years to numerous private students and many well known corporate clients, such as Deutsche Börse, the Dutch Embassy, Palantir, Coca Cola and VISA. One of the highest compliments I received was: Your lessons are brilliant. I never thought it would be possible for me to learn so much and have fun at the same time.
Helping my students to improve their rusty German skills, learn the language from scratch, or pass that tough exam makes me very proud. It just goes to show that a skilful tutor and a willing student are the perfect ingredients to successful learning.
My students often stay with me for years, a testament to my effective and engaging tutoring style. Check out my Testimonials here.
