Testimonials

What our German Students Think About Learnmate


CarolineReviews rating

Rita is a vibrant and inspiring French tutor. Her flexibility with my needs as a year 12 french student has allowed me to improve in listening, speaking, reading and writing simultaneously. She provokes me to explain and consolidate my new understanding and she puts an immense amount of effort into the preparation of each lesson. The most valuable part of my lessons with Rita is the way in which she writes down all the questions I have regarding grammar structures and creates her own tasks to specifically target my weaknesses.

LilianaReviews rating

Lise is a brilliant teacher. I always look forward to her classes as we always have a lot of fun together. Since first going to her my French speaking, writing and listening skills have greatly improved. She knows the VCE requirements which is very helpful and is able to adapt to my learning needs. Anyone, at any level of French, would highly benefit from Lise’s assistance as she caters for all.

LiviaReviews rating

Lara has been great. She is very knowledgable in Italian and teaches in a way that's easy to understand. She also has the ability to look at the big picture and identify areas of need.

RahulReviews rating

It has been 3 weeks since my son has been tutored by Charan for French (year 8). My son has been enjoying it and Charan has been excellent in his communication and teaching. He is prompt, very responsive over emails and SMS as well which is an added bonus. He has been reviewing the school material and provides guidance during the sessions. Charan has provided regular feedback as well.

JaneReviews rating

Karuna has been such a blessing for us. She has forged a wonderful relationship with our son, and has re-ignited an interest in French. She has readily taken in the challenge of guiding our son to be VCE ready and his confidence has grown immensely. Cannot rate her highly enough. Thanks Karuna.

WenReviews rating

Emily is very nice, she helps my daughter improve her French Oral, she is flexible in session time to meet our needs.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do tutors on Learnmate teach German for VCE, HSC or IB curriculum?
Yes — Learnmate’s German tutor network includes graduates and teachers with experience across VCE German (Victorian curriculum, VCAA study design), HSC German (NSW curriculum, NESA), and IB German at both standard and higher level. Each curriculum has different assessment structures, text types and oral examination formats. For VCE German support specifically, browse the VCE German tutors page from the directory below to find tutors whose experience matches your study design.
Can I find a native German speaker to tutor me in Australia?
Yes — Learnmate’s German tutor network includes native speakers from Germany, Austria and other German-speaking backgrounds who are based in Australia or offer online sessions from their home countries. Native speakers bring first-hand fluency, authentic pronunciation and cultural context that complements the formal grammar and examination preparation that curriculum-experienced tutors provide. Browse tutor profiles and check the language background section to find a native speaker who suits your learning goals.
How does German tutoring through Learnmate work online versus in person?
Most Learnmate German tutors offer online sessions via video call, which works well for German tutoring — tutors can share annotated grammar notes, conduct oral practice via video, review written work in real time and use digital vocabulary tools. Online sessions make experienced German tutors accessible to students across regional and rural Australia where specialist language tutors are rarely available. In-person tutoring is available in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Can Learnmate tutors help with Goethe-Institut or other German language certification?
Yes — several tutors on Learnmate have experience supporting students through Goethe-Institut certification preparation at A1 through C2 levels. Goethe-Institut exams assess reading, writing, listening and speaking in German and are widely recognised for university admission, professional registration and German residency applications. Students seeking Goethe preparation should check tutor profiles for experience at the specific level they are targeting and confirm the tutor’s familiarity with the relevant exam format.
What age groups do German tutors on Learnmate teach?
Learnmate’s German tutors cover every stage of learning — primary school students beginning German through school language programs or heritage language instruction, high school students in Years 7 to 10 building German foundations, Year 11 and 12 students preparing for VCE or HSC German examinations, and adult learners developing conversational or professional German for travel, work or personal goals. Browse tutor profiles and filter by year level or learning context to find the right match.
When should a student start German tutoring?
Early is generally better for language learning — students who build German foundations in Years 7 to 10 enter senior secondary German with stronger vocabulary, grammar and listening comprehension. Year 11 and 12 students benefit most from tutors who know the specific VCAA or NESA study design, SAC structure and oral examination format for their curriculum. Adult learners can start at any point, and many find that a structured tutor relationship produces faster progress than self-directed study or language apps alone.
