GCSE German tuition in London and online with an excellent native tutor
Preparing for the GCSE German exam can be a challenging experience for several reasons. Not only is German widely considered to be one of the most difficult European languages, but it is also a tougher subject in which to excel than many others. Worse still, German is often taught fairly poorly at schools, leaving students unmotivated and without the support they need to succeed in their final exams. That’s where my teaching experience proves to be an invaluable asset. Having taught German for over 25 years, I know how to connect with my students and help them achieve top grades.
My experience as GCSE German tutor in London
I'm Jens Olesen, the founder and director of Olesen Tuition- one of the UK's leading German language schools. Having been educated at RWTH Aachen, the London School of Economics, and the University of Oxford, I have over 25 years of experience preparing students for GCSE and IGCSE German and a thorough understanding of what is required to do well, irrespective of the exam board. My GCSE German tutoring has been reviewed by many parents whose children I successfully prepared for their exams and has been rated "excellent" on Google, ProvenExpert, and Trustpilot. To meet the growing demand for lessons, I have hired a team of experienced native tutors who know what is required to excel in GCSE German
Track record of my IGCSE/GCSE German tutoring
Over 95% of our students studying toward IGCSE German or GCSE German have achieved grade 9/A* with an average preparation time of three to nine months of weekly German tuition. So, how would we prepare you for your GCSE German exams?
We tailor texts and grammar exercises relevant to your specific IGCSE/GCSE papers, run through past papers with you to explain typical questions and requirements and advise you on how to achieve full marks in all parts of your exam. In particular, German grammar can be challenging for students to grasp. However, my explanations will ensure that you master every grammar topic- from the use of German articles to German word order. Having prepared thousands of students for IGCSE/GCSE German, I am confident in my approach.
My team of German tutors and I also prepare students for GCSE German exams as an outside option if their schools do not offer German. Enhanced DBS and references upon request.

Reviews of our GCSE German tuition in London and German GCSE tuition online
Mabel N.
"My daughter did her GCSE this year. She tried few tutors before, finally she decided to stay with Jens. The lessons with Jens are never boring but useful. Her marks jumped from 70 and to over 90 after one year of lessons with Jens. In the end, she got a 9. Highly recommend Jens for teaching German."
Richard K.
"Jens is simply excellent. We have used him for my son's GCSE and A-level, and he is unwaveringly perfectionist, 100% professional and very easy to deal with. His teaching is comprehensive, covering written and spoken German and examination curricula in all detail."
Isabelle N.
"I highly recommend Jens Olesen as a German tutor. Our son Paul has been tutored by Jens for both his GCSE and A level in German. Jens has done a stellar job preparing Paul, enabling him to achieve A* grades in both exams. While being methodical and clear in the way he teaches, Jens also makes lessons a lot of fun which is so important. Paul always looked forward to his Sunday evening Skype call with Jens. Thank you very much for all your hard work, Jens!"
