Hello, I'm Jens. I'm the founder and director of Olesen Tuition. Originally from the Cologne area, I've been a qualified German tutor for over 20 years. I hold First-class undergraduate and graduate degrees from RWTH Aachen University and the LSE, and I have recently completed a D.Phil. at the University of Oxford. Over the past six years I have also worked as a university fellow, having taught at Oxford, the LSE and RWTH Aachen. I have successfully prepared students of all levels and ages for certificates of the Goethe-Institut (A1-C2) and other test centres; school examinations, such as GCSE and A-Level (AQA and Edexcel), International Baccaleauréat (IB) and French Baccaleauréat (Bac), and Cambridge Pre-U German; university exams at Bachelor, Master and PhD-level; for their relocation to, or job interviews in, a German-speaking country; or I have helped them to gain and improve their competence in the language more generally. Throughout my teaching career, I have brought thousands of students to fluency and many more to intermediate level with a unique combination of tailored vocabulary training, solid grammar foundation and my challenging yet motivating teaching style. In addition to my work, I am an avid traveller (particularly to my beloved Greece), and passionate about fine food and wine. Jens Olesen German Tutor & Founder and director of Olesen Tuition Contact me Introducing my team of excellent native German tutors To meet the increasing demand for high-quality German lessons, I hired a small group of excellent colleagues who teach for my company. As a team, we teach our small German classes, private German lessons, and we offer business German language training for companies in London and abroad. Hi guys! I’m Annika from northern Germany. I studied German as a foreign language at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. Having lived and worked in both Chile and Spain, I enjoy interacting with people from a variety of cultures. In my teaching I make sure to adapt to my students' individual needs in order to help them make the progress they yearn for. It’s very important to me that my students achieve their goals and gain a positive and satisfactory learning experience. I have over 7 years of teaching experience, and I look forward to working with you. Hello, my name is Anja, I have been working as a German teacher with groups and individuals for over 10 years and I am certified examiner. I have been teaching people from all sorts of backgrounds with a wide variety of reasons for learning the beautiful and challenging German language. I enjoy teaching not only because I love German grammar 😉 but also because I am very interested in each person's unique approach to learning a new language and encountering a whole new cultural universe. Hi there, I'm Kai. Originally from northern Germany, I have taught German and German Studies (language classes, Business German, German for singers, cultural studies, film) for over 20 years in the US, Germany and the UK. I know that the most important thing about teaching and learning German is that you will get loads of opportunities to speak, while I'm helping you to understand the necessary tools like grammar and all kinds of useful phrases. German is luckily quite straightforward if you get precise and clear explanations. This will enable you to enjoy speaking with confidence, and we can keep it fun and relaxing while we're working hard - it's possible! In my free time like playing tennis and the piano and read about history and current affairs. Hi, my name is Andreas. I was born in Augsburg (Bavaria) and studied German as a foreign language at the University of Dresden. In 2014 I started to work as a German teacher for the Goethe Institut and VHS in Dresden and Hamburg and since 2019 I also give online German lessons. I am very grateful for my job because I love teaching the German Language and learning about different cultures as I work with students from all over the world. Hi, my name is Uta, and I have been working as a German teacher for over 10 years. I am a qualified teacher for German as a foreign language and have been teaching students from different backgrounds and all levels. I worked for different institutions teaching German in London until I moved back to Germany. I am certified for all Goethe exams. I love teaching German, and I also enjoy learning languages myself. At the moment I am learning Italian, but I also used to learn Finnish, which supposedly is even more challenging than German. Guten Tag, ich heiße Britta und ich komme aus Deutschland. I'm originally from Aachen but I have lived and worked abroad for more than 25 years. I've been teaching German in different language schools, institutes and universities in France, Japan and in the UK and I also give tailor-made private lessons. Though students are different according to language background, interests, personality etc., they all want to learn in a nice, pleasant atmosphere with well-structured input and ... have fun while doing it! While poring over articles and cases, we also enjoy phrases like 'to have a male cat' or 'to have a bird' - which has not much to do with animals in German - look it up. Looking forward to meeting you! Hier ist deine Deutschlehrerin - Ich bin Sylvia und komme aus Bayern. Okay, now I better continue in English. I hope you like learning languages as much as I do. I also love teaching languages and even did my PhD on it. I specialise in helping people to express themselves better in German and to improve their speaking und writing skills, also on an academic level. I know the different language levels and their difficulties, and I am also a trained examiner for international certificates. If you are looking for a motivating, patient, and competent teacher with experience, you have come to the right place. I look forward to working with you. Why working with a native German tutor will help your German The aim of our German tuition is that our students read, write, understand and speak our mother tongue to the best of their abilities. Being native speakers puts us in the position of working on our students' German in all aspects of language learning - from improving their pronunciation and intonation of German words, expanding their vocabulary in "Hochdeutsch" (standardised German) to advancing their understanding of various idiosyncrasies in German grammar. Even though many of these aspects can of course be taught by a non-native teacher, only a trained native speaker of the language will know whether your choice of words is not only appropriate but also natural in the context in which you used it, and will be able to help you speak German without accent. Unlike other German tutors, we don't believe it is possible to focus exclusively on conversational German. While speaking German is an important part of the learning process, even the most basic of sentences tends to require a good understanding of several, often interconnected, grammar rules. Hence, a good understanding of German grammar is essential. Otherwise, you would run before you could walk, and unfortunately the latter strategy is often encouraged by tutors who follow a conversational approach. Instead, our lessons involve speaking, writing, reading, listening, and a thorough grammar training, so that you learn the language properly. Our approach to teaching German- simple but correct With absolute beginners to the German language, we start by looking at the basics, such as how to introduce yourself, express likes and dislikes, and talk about your hobbies. In the process, we explain the conjugation of regular and irregular verbs, and key rules regarding German syntax. We also advise on the proper pronunciation of German words and point you to those letters that sound different than in English. While building your vocabulary on a range of topics from here on, our main focus will be to keep your sentences simple but correct, before gradually adding complexity as we move along. You'll find examples of our explanations of German grammar on our German language blog "Auf Deutsch, bitte!" Beginner students often struggle to express their ideas not because their vocabulary is so basic but because they try to translate literally between their native language and German. Simple but correct stops students from translating by keeping their focus on German grammar, by showing them to simplify their ideas with ease and by encouraging them to make good use of the German words they have learnt. Even fairly complex ideas can be expressed in simple terms when you think of synonyms for what you'd like to say and you concentrate on bringing your point across. The advantages of this approach are grammatical accuracy and confidence in writing and speaking. As soon as our students have developed the flexibility to simplify with ease, we work towards increasing nuance and complexity of their sentences through text work, grammar training and discussions in class. Intermediate and advanced students also benefit from our approach as it helps them to unlearn mistakes they made in the past and develop their fluency in speaking and writing. Having used and refined our method over the last 24 years that we have been teaching the language, we are convinced that our method will allow you to learn German properly.

Read below for extra events, extra discounts and all-inclusive fees. Watch Information Videos and including small demonstrations. Detailed Information The Balkan region is known for its rich and diverse musical heritage, which has been influenced by various cultures and traditions over the centuries. I am launching this new course to share the finer things about Balkan music. The correct notes can be played by any musician, but how often do I find myself in tears when listening to a great musician who gets it so wrong, simply because they did not have the opportunity to travel, listen, and learn from native masters? Instead, they might have learned it third-hand or from a piece of sheet music. Western classical music notation cannot fully capture the essence of other types of music, and a metronome can stifle the authentic phrasing of asymmetric Balkan rhythms. I am not a native Balkan music master either, but I feel very privileged that I had the opportunity to learn from several of them, and engage in endless, wild jam sessions. In this course, I aim to convey not only the right musical feel but also the fervour and passion for this music. The weekly course primarily targets melodic instruments. Tunes will be taught by ear, initially using the voice (sheet music will be sent out beforehand), and then practiced on the instrument. Special attention will be devoted to phrasing, articulation, and, of course, the typical charisma of Balkan music to give it that truly magical sound. Whilst I am a violinist and will demonstrate and lead with the violin and voice, the course is suitable for any melodic instrument. The level is aimed at intermediate to advanced players, although ambitious and diligent lower-intermediate players will also do well. We will briefly cover accompaniment aspects, including chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and techniques. Dedicated workshops for chordal instruments and percussion will be offered as we progress. The course will run weekly and continuously, with no regular sessions during usual UK school holidays. Booking will be in advance in 5-session units. Each unit can be booked individually, or you can sign up for an annual booking and pay in 6 instalments distributed over the whole year, receiving a 20% discount on the total course fee. For precise dates and a detailed payment plan please visit the BOOKING page. Information Videos about the general aims and philosophy of the course how to achieve expressive ornamentation how the accompaniments relate to the tunes Additional Events Balkan Academy Jam Session: A music making session, 3 times a year (towards the end of each term), online and in person, where course participants and their friends can play the studied material with a full-on group, including rhythm section and vocals.  Fee: £9 for course participants, £12 for others - sheet music downloads included Dates to be announced.   Chord Progressions and Accompaniment Special: A special workshop three times a year for guitars, accordions, pianos, bass players, and similar instruments, both online and in person.
