Katja's Feedback

Katja has been tutoring my 16 year old son online for a number of months to help him prepare for his GCSE in German, specifically his spoken German exam. Not only has he enjoyed the lessons, but his progress during that time has been excellent - he has gone from being hesitant and self-conscious to much more confident and comfortable speaking German. His teachers at school have commented on how much improvement he's made in such a short space of time. Running the lessons via video call has worked very well. I would recommend Katja to anyone looking to achieve similar progress.

I have really enjoyed my German language tutoring sessions with Katja and definitely feel my German has improved since starting with her! She is very friendly and adapts to what your needs, goals, and expectations. The sessions are well-organised and include a variety of activities to tackle all aspects of language learning.

I would definitely recommend her as a tutor.

Katja is an excellent tutor who is really supportive but keen to challenge as well. I've tried other means of learning German in the past but I feel I have gained a lot of knowledge already from these 10 sessions alone.

I find 1.1 online tuition works well with my learning style and my schedule and she is flexible to work around my commitments and work.

I have plenty of opportunity to practise speaking in German as well as complete a good amount of continued learning outside of the sessions from the work set by Katja. She offers a lot of flexibility with the progression of the learning so that it works at my pace and my understanding. I would thoroughly recommend her as a tutor.

UPDATED after nearly 2 months:
The classes are going v. well. My daughter has learnt a lot in both Maths & German. Katja is patient but thorough and goes through each topic then after this goes in, they do Practice exam questions. I can see my daughters confidence already increased. There will be a short gap for when school restarts Then a revised schedule to fit in with school.

Very pleased with teaching & support from Katja. Especially at times the personal support she has provided my daughter. With Covid guess they need another outlet (besides whom they see).

Very happy to have done this. First Tutors has been great too.

Initial feedback

Katja comes across v professional for the initial arrangements for lessons etc. For the lessons she is straight to the point, with clear concise ways of sharing the knowledge then Backing it up with question practice.

My daughter finds her teaching methods v helpful and it helps her to pick up & reestablish Maths foundations. For German lessons her speaking it naturally means the right accent is picked up. A brand new language & Katja is v. patient in teaching her the basics but with grammar etc. Once the system is known one can apply it to other words/ sentence construction that will help her in the b language.

Very happy with our choice & can see this going to GCSE. Thanks Katja!

Katja provided outstanding Physics and Chemistry GCSE support to my daughter on a weekly basis, over an extended period. She provided the support reliably, sensitively and accessibly, resulting in higher attainment levels across both subjects, as well as increased confidence for my daughter. Thank you Katja!

I'm an adult learner of German and so glad I managed to get Katja for this, can't recommend her enough. She combines various teaching methods to make the lessons dynamic, and uploads homework for every session - usually bespoke to my interests and the learning style that suits me best.
She often checks in advance if there is something specific I want to focus on for the next lesson, and makes suggestions too. With a combination of grammar exercises, reading out loud, free speech, watching videos together, analysing texts and subtly increasing the difficulty each time, I felt I was improving after each lesson and gained so much confidence to use the language sooner than I thought. I would highly recommend Katja to anyone looking for an enthusiastic, fun, organised tutor who is adept at tailoring her lessons to your interests and way of learning.

I would definitely recommend Katya. Katya worked so well with my daughter who was initially resistant to having tuition. Katya worked on building a great relationship with her but was also challenging when she needed to be. She was adaptable to her needs and as a result my daughter made really good progress in her maths. An excellent tutor!

Katja is great.

Incredibly thorough and proactive and accommodating.

My understanding of the German Language has advanced so quickly and allows me to understand the rules by which you can form sentences .

I very much recommend Katja

Over the past year since Katja has taught my daughter, her confidence in maths and German has improved immensley. Her lessons are always taught with enthusiasm and she is given tasks which keep her challenged. As a result her test grades in school have improved a lot. We would highly recommend Katja to other students!

Katja has been tutoring my daughter who is in year 9 in preparation for her GCSE’S for almost a year. My daughter is now excelling in Maths at school. Katja is friendly, reliable and a great communicator. My daughter now really enjoys her Maths at school and enjoys her tutoring with Katja. I highly recommend Katja.

Katja has been teaching Physics and Maths, preparing my son for GCSE for past several months. She is a fantastic teacher and I would recommend.

Katja is everything and more than I could have hoped for. As an adult learner (mid 40s) I was apprehensive to begin with but Katja is super friendly and brings tremendous positivity to the sessions… with kind patience and understanding also. Katja is reliable, punctual and has made each lesson engaging, thought provoking and enjoyable. Her ability to break down a language and explain it in a way that is easy to digest has been a revelation for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Katja to anyone who is considering her instruction. Nothing is forever, so my suggestion would be to trial a few sessions and I'm sure you will soon agree with the above. Good luck.

Katja was a big help to my son who was struggling with his Maths. An opportunity to have some one to one sessions was really beneficial and rekindled his interest in this important subject.

Katja has been a reliable and personable tutor who has helped me progress in my German a great deal at quite a strange stage in the language.
She’s always punctual and creative with lesson plans and giving homework.
I’ve had in person and virtual lessons now and have found both experiences very beneficial.
I highly recommend Katja from my experience for any tutoring need.

Super friendly and very accommodating! I had a say in what was done each lesson and so it was always enjoyable and meant that we made the most of a limited number of lessons over the summer. She helped build up my confidence with prounciation and has left me a lot more confident going forward. When I wanted to fit in extra lessons I was able to have two in a week or have a single longer lesson. If I am back in London again I will certainly be wanting more lessons with Katja.

I really enjoyed learning German with Katja - she is organised, patient and explains everything clearly. The exercises she gave me were interesting and at the right level for me.

I would definitely recommend her as a tutor!

I could not have passed my numeracy skills test without you Katja. You are knowledgable, kind and very supportive. Thank you.
