Private German lessons in London

Private, one-to-one German lessons in London for adult learners, taught by native-speaking tutors at your workplace or home. Lessons are arranged around your schedule and goals, whether self- or company-funded.

I’ve had weekly lessons with Stefan for a year now. He is a great teacher and lessons are carefully tailored to your level and individual learning goals. I highly recommend for anyone wanting to improve their German skills in a focused and supportive environment!

How one-to-one lessons work

Every lesson is built around your level, your pace, and what you need German for, whether that is work, exams, family, or an upcoming move. One-to-one tuition means the whole lesson is spent on your speaking, listening, reading and writing, which is why progress is faster.

Teaching takes place where and when it suits you: at your office, at home, at flexible times including before work, over lunch, or in the evening. Online lessons are also available if in-person timing is not possible. Lessons at your office or home save travel time and fit easily into a busy week.

Structured German lessons, A1 to C2

Lessons are aligned to the CEFR levels, from complete beginner (A1) to near-native fluency (C2). Your tutor starts with an assessment of your current level and goals, then builds a syllabus around them, which shows you where you stand and what comes next.

  • A1Beginner
  • A2Elementary
  • B1Intermediate
  • B2Upper intermediate
  • C1Advanced
  • C2Proficiency

Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan adjusted as you go.

German lessons for your goals

Private lessons work for a wide range of reasons to learn German: professional and business German for meetings, presentations, emails and phone calls; relocation or regular travel to German-speaking countries; and exam preparation, including Goethe exams and university language requirements.

German for a partner and their family is one of the more common reasons people come to us. If your partner is German, Austrian or Swiss, lessons can focus on the German you will speak with them: conversation over a meal, visits to their parents, phone calls with relatives, and following what is being said around you at a dinner table.

Many of our private learners have their lessons funded by their employer. Lessons stay individual, while still giving the structure and progress tracking organisations expect from sponsored training. If you are looking to train a whole team rather than one person, our corporate German training may be a good fit.

Getting started

If you are looking for a German tutor in London who comes to you, the first step is a short assessment of your level and goals. Your tutor then builds a lesson plan, and lessons begin at a time and place that suit you.
