About Freddie
My approach strikes a balance between the rigour needed to make progress and the calm, positive environment that will make you or your child learn with enthusiasm. With a Starred First in languages from Cambridge, I bring hard work, experience and dedication. With years of teaching languages (German, Spanish) and 11+ subjects behind me, my students regularly reach their goals, be that meeting a GCSE or A-level target or simply learning for fun. I have taught both privately and in professional settings, including as a school teacher and as a freelance tutor to corporate clients. I use a range of resources and teaching techniques to create a productive and non-pressured study environment, particularly helpful to any school students seeking to regain the enthusiasm they may have lost at school. I am well acquainted with 11+ formats and a range of GCSE and A-level boards, as well as a variety of films and plays that may form part of your child's syllabus. If you book with me, you can expect a reliable and flexible service and, most importantly, a young professional who remembers the pressures of public exams well and who knows the tips and tricks that can make a daunting time much more manageable. My prices reflect a proven track record and the time I will take to plan and travel to lessons and set or mark homework. My own A-level results included high A*s in German, Spanish and English. I am able to offer trial lessons at a 50% discount.
My previous achievements include:
- Bringing an A level student from a predicted B to an A in her German A-level.
- Working with another A level student towards an A* in his Spanish A-level.
- Taking GCSE students to 7s, 8s and 9s in German and Spanish.
- Helping a Year 9 Spanish student make up lost ground after a difficult school year.
- Accelerating a younger German student to take their GCSE early.
- Working extensively with 11+ candidates across London.
My personal achievements include:
- 4 A*s at A level (German, Spanish, English, Latin)
- Starred First in German and Farsi at University of Cambridge.
- Certified C2 fluency in Spanish at University of Cambridge Language Centre.
- Numerous academic prizes at Cambridge, including a prize for the best exam results in my faculty and in my college.

I have spent the last years living in Europe and Asia as a languages student on my year abroad. I have always enjoyed teaching and my experience includes numerous weeks of teaching German to teenage refugees in a Berlin high-school. I learnt to be creative in explaining and demonstrating the complexities of German grammar and pronunciation to a group of non-Europeans, keeping the lessons fun, varied and tailored to the student.
I have also worked on a one-to-one basis tutoring school students in German, Spanish and English literature at GCSE level and at A-Level, helping them to overcome any difficulties they have with language and literature learning. My experience with languages and linguistics in higher education allows me to locate exactly what my students find challenging and what teaching methods will work to help them. Some struggle with grammar, some with pronunciation, some with the curriculum and some simply need to build their confidence. As a friendly, young tutor familiar with UK public examinations and with the European language framework, I can offer tailored lessons to whomever needs help - whether it be with conversation, reading, writing or listening skills.
I have a bookcase full of language resources, as well as access to and knowledge of numerous online language learning resources and a good understanding of German, Spanish and Latin American culture.
I would love to be able to help any language learners out there - please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions whatsoever.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Freddie.
Perfect! Excellent teacher! It was very easy to introduce Freddie to my son’s unusual request of an intense preparation for German exams. Freddy came up with a plan immediately. He’s also flexible with hours, which is also very helpful. He gave my son one lesson so far. Which was very informative and productive. There was also a friendly and supportive atmosphere during lesson. I’m sure my son will come to a needed result with this teacher soon.
- Freddie's response :Maxim is a very strong student with a good level owing to his bilingual background in German. There are several areas where he will strengthen his grammar and accuracy to help him secure the very highest marks at GCSE German. I have no doubt he will be able to reach that level.
Perfect! 5* Tutor
Freddie has great understanding and knowledge as somebody who has studied the language I find he is able to pass on so much more help then somebody who is fluent or native he understands exactly my needs and has helped me achieve so much in 7-8 lessons he has been polite, punctual and very flexible to suit my needs. I highly recommend
Subject : Spanish
Outcome : Highly recommend- Freddie's response :Thank you Joanna!

Subject : German
Outcome : First rate- Freddie's response :Glad to have helped Anna!
Perfect! The Man, The Myth, The Legend... Freddie
It doesn't get much better than this! Freddie is a rare find, he is engaging and inspirational as a tutor, he has created an informal environment in which I feel I am always able to challenge the next hurdle of Spanish. Spanish grammar has often been bane of my life, but not now, not since Freddie came in the picture, he's changed it all for me, he's changed my understanding with his clear teaching style. There is no doubt Freddie is a very intelligent and sociable man but often those who are that intelligent are hard to relate to when challenging an academic scenario, but Freddie is a character who allows you to think in a way that is more logical towards language. Freddie is willing to always do the hard work to make it as easy as possible for you whether it be writing out notes or making quizlet vocab sets. His commitment is reassuring when taking on the task of learning a new language. If it had not been for Freddie I would still be shrouded in the confusion of Spanish grammar, he proved to be a clear voice and also an understanding teacher who's patience is second to none.
All I can say to Freddie is thank you!
Kind Regards,
Seb
Subject : Spanish
Outcome : A clear understanding of Spanish grammar and a huge increase in quality of overall language.- Freddie's response :Thank you!
Perfect! Very friendly and warm tutor
I have had 3 lessons so far with Freddie. One from Skype and two in person. He is a young language student that is very excited about languages and he makes sure to transmit this excitement to his learners. On that note, Freddie tries to make the lesson as practical as possible.
In only 3 lessons, Freddie has helped me to start speaking German with my native German partner by providing weekly exercises.
Subject : German
Outcome : I highly recommend Freddie for beginners- Freddie's response :Thank you!
Perfect! Fantastic tutor
Freddie is a phenomenally good tutor. He covered German language and German literature with my daughter - he was effective, clear, concise, thorough, engaging (the adjectives could go on!). In short, you'd be lucky to get him!
Subject : German
Outcome : My daughter is now thoroughly engaged with German and very keen to continue - entirely thanks to Freddie.- Freddie's response :Thank you!
Perfect! Really good
Freddie has been helping our daughter prepare for her German GCSE oral. He has been fantastic. Great suggestions as to how to maximise points in the oral and written exams. He also had some good suggestions of extra materials to use. Wish we had found him sooner!! He is very pleasant and professional to be around and is punctual and flexible. Highly recommend!
Subject : German
Outcome : Improved confidence in GermanPerfect! Highly recommended
I am really inpressed with Freddie, he is an excellent tutor. He has been able to motivate my son with his German language studies again. Freddie gives great advice, tips for learning and delivers the online lessons with enthusiasm. My son has improved significantly since working with Freddie as the lessons are tailored to his individual needs. I chose him because he is young and would relate well to an 18 year old and also because he has a first class academic record. Freddie is easy to deal with, flexible and reliable, qualities I value. I’m sure my son will continue to develop his German with Freddie’s support and I look forward to writing another review after his exam results!

I have known Freddie for one year and have been his supervisor for the German Tripos papers at Pembroke College Cambridge. He is a delightful, reliable and kind person whose academic work has been excellent. He would make a very good tutor and I can recommend him in good conscience and whole-heartedly on scholarly as well as personal grounds.
Dr Marion Kant, Cambridge, 24 July 2018
Pembroke College CambridgeFreddie is an incredibly talented linguist and comes highly recommended as a tutor in German, Spanish, Latin and English. At Latymer Upper School (where he was Head Boy) he served as an Academic Mentor, tutoring younger pupils in a range of subjects, and he has also worked at a school in Berlin teaching refugees Spanish (in German!) Freddie has excellent people skills and will quickly build a rapport with pupils and parents alike.
