Our IB German Lessons

Anna B., A-Level German 

"Jens is a brilliant teacher. I studied with him for 8 months via Skype to prepare for the language papers at German A-level. As a grammar teacher Jens is superb, both in explaining complex grammatical points and in particular in ensuring that his students develop a high level of accuracy. This is carried into all aspects of his teaching and provides an invaluable foundation. His lessons are always well-planned with excellent resources and consistently challenging and interesting discussion. He is good at both incorporating relevant work for the A-level while going far beyond simply preparing one 'for the exam'. Over the course of our lessons, I noticed a significant improvement in my German and I would certainly go back to Jens in the future if I wished to take the language further. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

Richard K., GCSE and A-Level German 

"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."

Charles P., IB German

"Jens is one-of-a-kind. Very impressive with his command of the intricacies of the German language, he also reads his students very well and matches their needs with a specific path to mastery designed for them. He is tough, though, and expects his students to put in effort, although when they don't, he doesn't harp on it, but simply moves forward, just as determined and tough as he was before. In the end, Jens accomplished getting my son to a level in his IB German exams that other teachers said was impossible. Perhaps. But not with Jens."

Frequently Asked Questions about IB German Tuition

Do you offer IB German tuition for both Language A (Literature) and Language B (SL and HL)?

Yes. We provide tutoring for both IB German Language A: Literature and IB German Language B at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL). Our tutors are experienced with all IB German courses, whether you’re a native or near-native speaker taking German A or a second-language learner taking German B. We tailor each lesson to the specific IB syllabus and level. For IB German Language A (Literature), we help students analyze literary texts in depth and craft strong essays. For IB German Language B (SL/HL), we focus on developing language skills across reading, writing, listening, and speaking in line with the IB curriculum. This ensures support for any IB German student – whether you need focused IB German HL support for the more advanced material or guidance at SL, we can assist you in achieving success.

 

Do you offer one-to-one IB German tutoring as well as group classes?

Yes. We offer both personalized one-to-one IB German lessons and small group classes. Individual tutoring means you get the teacher’s undivided attention and a custom learning pace targeted to your needs. In contrast, our group IB German classes (usually about 4–8 students) provide a collaborative environment – you can practice conversation with peers, learn from others’ questions, and enjoy a more social learning atmosphere. Both formats are available, so you can choose what suits you best. Many students opt for one-to-one lessons for intensive support on specific areas, while some enjoy group sessions for additional practice and interaction.

 

Can IB German tutoring help with exam preparation for Paper 1, Paper 2, the Individual Oral, and Internal Assessments?

Absolutely. Our IB German tutoring is designed to prepare you for every component of the IB exam and coursework. We cover Paper 1 (the written task) and Paper 2 (reading and listening comprehension) in depth – practising past paper questions and improving essay-writing and text analysis skills. We also help extensively with speaking: students get lots of practice for the Individual Oral (the internal oral assessment), including discussing themes and polishing presentation skills. In addition, we guide you through Internal Assessments or any coursework requirements – for example, we assist in planning and refining the written assignments or oral exam materials you need for IB. By focusing on all areas – writing, reading, listening, and speaking – our tutoring ensures you are fully prepared for each part of the IB German SL or HL assessmentibo.org.

 

How does IB German tutoring complement what students learn at school?

IB German tutoring is meant to enhance and support your school learning, not replace it. In school, teachers have to follow a set curriculum for the whole class, which means they might not always have time to address every question or individual challenge. Private tutoring offers personalised attention tailored to the student’s needs, something a one-size-fits-all classroom can’t always provide. Our tutor can focus on the areas you find most challenging – whether it’s a tricky grammar topic, a difficult chapter from a novel, or pronunciation – and reinforce them until you’re confident. We also provide extra practice and revision that go beyond what you might get in class (for example, additional exercises, past paper practice, or speaking drills). By aligning with your school’s IB syllabus and giving one-on-one feedback, the tutoring fills gaps in understanding, solidifies key concepts, and helps you apply exam techniques. In short, it complements your school IB German classes by targeting your specific needs and ensuring you fully grasp the material, which ultimately boosts your performance in class and exams.

 

What are the qualifications of the IB German tutor at Olesen Tuition?

Our IB German tutor is highly qualified and very experienced. The tutor is a native German speaker with over 25 years of teaching experience, including experience teaching IB German at Halcyon London International School (a top IB world school). They are Oxford-educated and have a strong track record of helping IB students achieve excellent results in their exams. In addition, many of our tutors have served as examiners (for example, Goethe-Institut examiners), which gives them expert insight into language proficiency standards and exam expectations. With this background, you can be confident that your IB German tutor thoroughly understands the IB curriculum and knows how to guide students effectively through all aspects of the course.

 

Do you offer online IB German lessons for international students (e.g., in Singapore or Hong Kong)?

Yes – we provide online IB German lessons to students across the globe. Our tutoring is conducted via an interactive online platform, so you can learn from anywhere. We have many years of experience working with IB students in different countries and time zones, including places like Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as Europe and the Americas. We schedule lessons flexibly to accommodate various time differences, meaning you can get tutoring at a convenient time, whether you’re in the UK, Asia, or elsewhere. The online sessions offer the same high-quality, face-to-face instruction as our in-person lessons. In fact, whether you’re looking for an IB German tutor in London or need support while overseas, our online tutoring makes it easy to get expert help wherever you are.

 

Is your IB German tutoring tailored to the official IB curriculum and syllabus?

Absolutely. Our IB German tuition closely follows the official IB syllabus and exam requirements. We plan our lessons around the IB curriculum – for IB German B, for instance, we incorporate the five prescribed themes (Identities, Experiences, Human Ingenuity, Social Organization, and Sharing the Planet) to ensure you practice the content required by IB. For IB German A: Literature, we focus on the works and analysis skills you need for that course. We also make sure to cover the exact skills that IB assesses: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In fact, we use real IB materials like past exam papers, sample questions, and authentic texts from the IB syllabus to prepare you. Because our tutors are very familiar with IB standards (some have even been IB examiners), they can provide insights into what examiners look for and how to approach IB-style questions. This means every tutoring session is aligned with what you’ll actually encounter in your IB German class and exams, so you’re always studying relevant material in the right way.

 

Do you provide IB German practice materials or past exam papers?

Yes. We supply plenty of IB-specific practice materials to help you prepare. During lessons, we work with past IB German exam papers and sample questions so that you become familiar with the exam format and question types. We also provide additional exercises – for example, extra reading comprehension texts, listening practice audio, grammar and vocabulary drills, and example Paper 1 essay prompts or Individual Oral discussion topics. All these materials are geared toward the IB curriculum. By practising with past papers and IB-style tasks, you’ll gain confidence and be well-prepared for the real exams. The tutor will give you feedback on these practice exercises, helping you learn from mistakes and improve steadily.

 

Do you offer intensive IB German revision courses or short-term tutoring before exams?

Yes, we do offer more intensive support for students who need a short-term boost before exams. In addition to regular weekly tutoring, we run intensive IB German revision courses and workshops (for example, during school holidays or the weeks leading up to exams) to help you review material quickly. These intensive sessions are designed to cover a lot of content in a condensed time – perfect for last-minute revision or catching up. We focus on exam practice and strategy: working through past paper questions, reviewing key topics from the syllabus, and drilling important skills like essay writing and oral responses. If your IB German exams are around the corner, we can also arrange more frequent one-to-one lessons to reinforce everything you’ve learned. This flexible, intensive approach is great for achieving rapid improvement when it’s needed most, ensuring you go into your exams feeling prepared and confident.
