About Lotta

My name is Lotta, I grew up in Germany and am a native speaker of German. I was raised bilingual with English being my second mother tongue, and learned French from when I was six years old. Currently, I am doing a PhD in English Literature, having previously completed an undergraduate degree in German and English literature and Linguistics in Germany, and a Master's in World Literatures in English at the University of Oxford. I am teaching German as a foreign language at BMW in Oxford, and English literature and translation studies for undergraduate students and I am also working as a translator of literature and poetry (from English into German).
I am passionate about languages, literature, the arts and translation, and I love teaching languages skills and literature.

About the lesson

English and German as a foreign language: my approach is that language learning should be fun, efficient and useful. I am more than happy to take a grammar-based approach as well, if the student wishes that, or if there are certain areas that the student wants to improve - but generally, I try to make my lesson as practice based as possible, involving lots of speaking, by having conversations with the student and by asking the student to do little presentations on their chosen topics. In my opinion, languages give you the opportunity to explore a different perspective on the world, to get to know another culture, and they are learned in the best and most efficient way when students learn to overcome their initial hesitation and develop a confidence to speak and to have conversations.
English literature: through doing an undergraduate degree, a Master's degree and now a PhD in English literature I have a lot of experience teaching students, either 1-to-1 or in small groups, and I know the expectations that schools and universities have of their students. My approach in tutoring is to strengthen the student's skills, to identify areas such as analytical skills, writing skills or others that the student wants to improve and to offer tailored excercises, advice and lots of material to practice these skills.
All my tutoring is tailored to the individual student's needs, and I will structure sessions and practice material individually to help students improve their skills and to excel in their chosen subject.
