Bio
I am a qualified, experienced language teacher with a passion for teaching children. I have been teaching adults as well as children aged 5 - 18 languages for 16 years. I believe in interactivity!
I am a patient teacher who understands children, because I am a mother of two and have been teaching kids since 1993. I enjoy having fun with students while they are learning. I love languages, therefore it is only a pleasure for me to help them understand concepts and apply them. I would love to help as many students as possible become more fluent in English, German and Afrikaans!

Reviews from others
“Hanna is an amazing German teacher. She was well-prepared for the lessons and guaged my son's aptitude fully in the first lesson to understand how she needs to take him forward. My son (year 11) felt challenged as well as motivated to learn German and I noticed he was very eager and looking forward to the lessons. I highly recommend Hanna for German tutoring. ”- Kiran
