German Lessons for Children and Teenagers in London and Online

German courses for kids with experienced native German tutors

Studies show that learning a foreign language early in life is easier for children and enhances their cognitive abilities. German, in particular, is a valuable language to learn, not least because of Germany's strong economy. However, fewer UK students choose to learn German in school, often due to poor teaching by non-native speakers. At Olesen Tuition, our tutors are all native German speakers with many of teaching experience. Founded in 2015, Olesen Tuition has become London's highest-rated German language school. We pride ourselves on our excellent client reviews on platforms like Google, ProvenExpert, and Trustpilot, and we are committed to providing top-quality German courses for kids that are both academically rigorous and enjoyable.

We offer in-person German lessons for children aged 4-17 and online German courses and 1:1 lessons for children aged 8-17 in London and abroad. Each of our small German courses for kids and teens is limited to eight students, ensuring everyone gets to participate actively. If you're interested in in-person German lessons at your London home, please contact us with your postcode, preferred day and time, and your child's current German level, and one of our tutors will be happy to travel to your house. Due to limited availability, we require lessons to be at least 60 minutes long.

Do your German lessons for kids follow the national school calendar in the UK?

Our weekly German classes for kids follow the national school calendar in the UK. However, during the Autumn, Spring, and Easter half-terms, we run intensive German courses for children. So, classes continue for those parents who want their kids to progress more rapidly in the language. Concerning our private German lessons for children, parents decide whether or not lessons continue during school breaks.

The schedule of our German classes for kids

Below is our current schedule of German classes for young learners. If you're unsure of your child's current German level, we offer a 15-minute assessment. The assessment is free of charge but requires a commitment to a trial class. If you don't find a suitable course, please contact us to register your interest, specifying your child's age, German level, and preferred days and times. We'll get back to you promptly to accommodate your needs. Since young learners require different approaches and materials depending on their age, we have established three age groups: 8-10, 10-12, and 12-14 years old. These groups are guidelines, so if you believe your child might fit into one of the groups but does not quite meet the age requirement, please email us to discuss further.
