A-Level German Tutor London and Online

Preparing for A-level German and International A-level German can be a very stressful and time-consuming experience. Not only is German one of the most challenging European languages to learn, but the gap in levels between GCSE and A-level German is much wider than many students anticipate. So, doing well in your GCSE exams does not necessarily indicate success in your A-level German exams.  That's where my colleagues and I step in to help.

Our track record as German A-level tutors

A-Level German tuition London With An Excellent Track Record

I'm Jens Olesen, the founder and director of Olesen Tuition, one of the UK's leading German language schools. My colleagues and I offer exam preparation for A-level German and International A-level German with a proven track record of success. 95% of our students have achieved an A* or A in their final exams. Having graduated with first-class degrees from RWTH Aachen University, the London School of Economics, and the University of Oxford, I possess over 25 years of experience in preparing students for A-level German, with a thorough understanding of what is required to excel, regardless of the exam board. In 2024, I also acted as a teacher-examiner responsible for conducting the speaking exam on behalf of an independent school in London. In addition, I published several posts on my German language blog with resources for A-level German students, such as revision guides on "Goodbye, Lenin!", "Das Leben der Anderen", "Der Besuch der alten Dame", tips on how to excel in all three papers, etc. You'll find links to some of the posts at the bottom of this page.

"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."

Victoria W.

"When we got in touch with Jens 2 years ago, to ask if he would be able to tutor our then 17 year old daughter through the whole of the German A level (as her school wouldn't teach it), we knew we were taking a bit of a risk.We did not know Jens and knew noone who did. However our instinct that he would be brilliant at teaching our daughter was totally right. Not only is he extremely bright and competent at what he does, but he is also highly reliable and hard working. Our daughter loved working with him from start to finish and, despite the fact that she had to work extremely hard, she would also always be laughing with Jens too. We cannot recommend him highly enough to teach A level German; he is absolutely brilliant at teaching and keeping it interesting and fresh too.Our daughter achieved a high A in her German A level result and now wishes to continue to study German, alongside her main degree, at university. Thank you for everything Jens"

Sam R.

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Jens as an ‘A’ level German tutor.Jens is extremely knowledgeable and has superb people skills. He is kind, friendly, organised and focused.Jens tutored my daughter Sasha, online, up to the May 2021 ‘A’ level exams. Sasha’s confidence and skills grew Immeasurably over this time and she was able to secure an A* in her German ‘A’ level, leading to a confirmed place at her first choice of university. Thank you so much Jens from Sasha and us, her parents x"

Frequently Asked Questions (A-level German Tuition)

How do online A-level German lessons work?
Online A-level German lessons are delivered via
Zoom in a live, interactive format. Lessons include targeted grammar instruction, structured essay practice, exam technique training, and oral exam preparation. All materials are shared digitally, and sessions are tailored to the student’s specific exam board and needs.

 

Do you tutor both AQA and Edexcel A-level German?
Yes, we offer tuition for both AQA and Edexcel A-level German. We are familiar with the differences in exam structure, assessment objectives, and set texts. Lessons are adjusted accordingly to help students meet their specific board’s requirements.

Do you prepare students for International A-level German?

Yes, we offer International A-level German tuition and have many years of experience preparing students for this qualification. We have successfully taught numerous private students as well as learners from a prestigious Swiss private school, helping them achieve top grades through tailored, exam-focused instruction. Whether you are studying for the Edexcel or Cambridge International A-level German exam, our expert support ensures you are fully prepared for all components.

 

What if my school doesn’t offer A-level German?
You can still study A-level German independently with private tuition. We provide comprehensive support for self-taught or external candidates, including structured teaching, past paper practice, and guidance concerning exam boards . You would register as a private candidate at an exam centre.

 

Can you help with A-level German retakes?
Absolutely. Many of our students are retaking A-level German to improve their grades. We focus on identifying past weaknesses, rebuilding grammar and vocabulary knowledge, and refining exam techniques to maximise marks the second time around.

 

How long does it take to improve from a C to an A or A?*
This depends on your starting point and how often you study. Most students see significant improvement within 4–6 months of regular tuition and independent revision. For a Grade C student aiming for an A, weekly lessons combined with focused grammar and essay writing practice can make a major difference.

 

Do you offer trial lessons?
Yes, trial lessons are available so you can experience our teaching style and decide whether it suits your needs. Trials are typically one hour and cover the same structured material as a full lesson.

 

Are lessons one-to-one or in groups?
We offer both. Private one-to-one lessons provide tailored support, while our small group A-level German classes (with a maximum of 8 students) offer structured progression and peer interaction. Many students combine both for the best results.

 

When do your weekly A-level German classes run?
Our weekly A-level German classes run during term time from September to May, with revision intensives in July and August. Classes are available for both Year 12 and Year 13 students, including those preparing for exams or oral assessments.
