Penelope

Hi, I'm Penelope, and I'm glad glad you've stopped by. Here are some wonderful words from my students and their parents:

“Penelope has been very professional, organised and engaging . My son enjoys his lessons and has started to develop interest in German within first few lessons”. - Parent of a Year 11 student.

“Miss Penelope is a wonderful teacher. From the very first day she motivated my son to study French more. She is very punctual and professional. Just after one month my son’s French has improved significantly. Exactly what I wanted.” - Parent of a Year 11 student.

“Penny is an excellent communicator and teacher. She is very supportive and is always enthusiastic. We are very pleased how well she is able to explain aspects of the German language and is always engaging. We are very happy to recommend her.” - Parent of a Year 11 student.

“Penelope has helped me progress greatly in German and French. She is engaging and very knowledgeable. I always look forward to her lessons, they are tailored to suit my needs and most importantly fun! Penelope is an excellent tutor, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn a new language.” - Adult learner.

“Penelope is a professional German tutor; she tailors the teaching material so that it fits the student’s needs. I had German lessons with her for over three months now and I feel my language skills have improved significantly. I also add that She has a nice personality and her classes are really enjoyable. I definitely recommend Penelope to people seeking to improve their language skills in a structured manner!” - Adult learner.

“Lovely tutor. She makes my daughter relax and actually enjoy learning German / French. I highly recommend her.” - Parent of a Year 9 student.
