Guten Tag!
About Me
Hi, I’m Johanna, and I’ve been teaching German to teenagers for over 13 years in both UK state schools and international schools around the world. I’ve worked with students from all walks of life—GCSE, A-level and MYP, so I know the challenges that come with learning a language, especially if it doesn’t come naturally.
Over the years, I’ve been a Head of Department and a Curriculum Lead, but what I really enjoy is working directly with students—helping them move from “I can’t do this” to “actually, I can.”
My approach is down-to-earth and focused on building confidence. I specialise in helping students who might be struggling or feeling a bit lost with German. Together, we work on building not just their language skills, but also their resilience and belief in their own ability.
I offer tailored, supportive lessons that meet your teen where they are, and help them move forward at a pace that works for them.

“Johanna gave our son so much more confidence! He even walks around the house speaking German now!"
Sarah
"After a difficult year with lots of teacher changes at school, Johanna filled in the gap and got our daughter through her exams. She absolutely loved the lessons."
Dan
“Trust Johanna 100% to know GCSE completely - she knew exactly what our daughter needed. Emma felt so much more confident afterwards.”
