My passion for languages began when I was young. In my 20’s I left England for Germany for a year to learn German and ended up staying for over 30. I initially tutored German school students from 3-16 years and did translation and editing work, in particular medical papers, and most recently translating an autobiography for a German fighter jet pilot. I taught 3-16 year olds in a private children’s language school.
Later, I set up my own company to teach English and German privately, in language schools and for businesses. After qualifying to teach foreigners English and German I was also employed in a government-run project teaching English and retraining unemployed people from 18-60 of 15 different nationalities. During that time, I brought up four children (bilingually, of course), who are spread across the USA, Europe and the UK.
Since moving back to England I have worked for many private companies, taught German at West Suffolk College and Bosch, taught adults to read and write, given private tuition to children and adults of all nationalities to high performing GCSE and A-Level standard in both English and German with a long track record of high marks and excellent grades in both written and verbal language skills.
I thrive to instil my passion for languages and their complexities, the German cuisine, culture, people and their idiosyncrasies into my students and lead them to outstanding GCSE results.

In my spare time I love travelling, visiting my children and grandchildren all over the world and friends and family in Germany, singing in the Bach choir, visiting the opera, gardening and in particular tending to my vegetables and cooking for friends and family.
