About Dr Anneke
Hallo! I'm Anneke, a native German speaker and qualified teacher based in Devon, but teaching online. I hold a PhD in Education; I'm bilingual in German and English; and I've been tutoring German privately for over 20 years—working with teenagers, university students and adults at every level.
Whether you're preparing for GCSE or A-level exams, studying German at university, or picking up the language later in life for travel, work or pure curiosity, I'd love to help you get there.
My teaching adapts to you. Sometimes that means structured grammar work. Sometimes it's conversation practice, close reading, or project-based learning. What stays constant is that your goals shape the sessions, and I meet you wherever you are.
I've spent more than a decade teaching and developing courses online, so remote lessons feel completely natural to me. And because I also work as a journalist and writer, I bring a real feel for how language works—the rhythms, the nuances, the moments where German does something English simply can't.
What I love about one-to-one tuition is that it lets me build a genuine relationship with each learner. That trust is what makes it possible to teach in a way that's truly tailored to how you think, learn and grow.
Qualifications:
—PhD in Education, University of Exeter
—PGCE in Secondary Education with Qualified Teacher Status, University of Exeter
—MA in Religious Studies (Distinction), University of Chester
—BA (Hons) in Humanities with Philosophy (First), The Open University
I also spent some time working in the British school system and conducted doctoral-level research on education in English schools. During this time, I co-authored a student textbook and a CPD handbook for teachers and teacher educators.

So, what would a German lesson with me actually look like?
That depends entirely on you. Every learner is different, and I always start by finding out where you are, where you want to go, and what kind of learning feels right for you. From there, we build a plan together.
Here's what I can help you with:
—Grammar and literacy: from the basics through to advanced sentence structure
—Reading and listening comprehension: using real-world texts, podcasts, news and film
—Conversation and speaking confidence: building fluency at your own pace
—Writing skills: from short exercises to extended academic or professional writing
—Exam preparation: GCSE (AQA, Edexcel, OCR), A-level, IB, and university assessments
If you're an adult learner, you're especially welcome. Maybe you studied German years ago and want to pick it up again. Maybe you need it for work, or you're planning to spend time in a German-speaking country. Whatever your reason, I'll make sure the lessons feel relevant and enjoyable.
As a personal learning coach, I also help students develop study and research skills they can carry into every subject—and every stage of life.

I started working with Dr Anneke during my A-levels because I needed help with my English — academic writing, research skills, how to put my ideas together clearly. She gave me the confidence to apply to university, which I never thought I'd do. I ended up studying Social Sciences, and we carried on working together through my first two years — she gave me feedback on my writing and helped me sharpen my research skills. I honestly don't think I'd have made it that far without her.
As a German software developer working with international colleagues, I needed to improve my English skills. Anneke is a wonderful EFL tutor who stands out for her remarkably structured approach to teaching. Her clear, step-by-step system makes even the most challenging aspects of English easy to grasp and follow.
I never imagined I could learn a foreign language so thoroughly until I worked with her.
Her personality is patient, reliable, and professional, making every lesson a great pleasure.
I wholeheartedly recommend her.Ich bin Frau Dr. Schmidt unglaublich dankbar! Meine Tochter hat sich in den letzten Montaten enorm verbessert und freut sich sogar jetzt auf die Schule! Ein großes Geschenk!
Sehr interessanter, individuell abgestimmter, und einfallsreicher Einzelunterricht. Definitiv weiterzuempfehlen.
My son has benefitted from his private lessons with Anneke for two years now, and he still enjoys them. Anneke is an experienced, knowledgeable, and patient teacher who’s helped him through his learning journey. Thank you so much.
Anneke is a brilliant tutor - focused, involved, creative, and very professional. I never get bored!
Anneke is such a great teacher. She has been my language teacher for several years. She's extremely knowledgeable, creative, and reliable. I have never been bored!
