Online English Tutoring Nachhilfe Online In The Abitur – Strong Through Upper Secondary In Germany
Online English tutoring, Nachhilfe Online, is the decisive building block for many students in Germany when they want to stabilise their English grades in upper secondary and achieve a good Abitur. English is a core subject in almost all federal states, and the results have a strong impact on the overall qualification. Every day we see that young people ask themselves how they are supposed to understand complex texts, what examiners really want to see and how they can learn efficiently even when their timetable is already full. This is exactly where we start with structured online lessons.
In the upper secondary level at the Gymnasium, the demands increase significantly: longer exams, literary texts, film analysis and presentations are part of everyday life. Many students feel well prepared, although they later realise that they are missing systematic training. When we start targeted English tutoring early, we can close gaps before they become visible in the Abitur certificate.
The role of English in the German education system and in the Abitur
English accompanies learners throughout their entire school career, and in upper secondary it is usually taught as a continued foreign language. In many federal states, English is compulsory up to the Abitur exam – written, oral or in both forms. This means that anyone who is weak here risks affecting their total score, even if they are strong in other subjects.
We explain to our students what really counts in the Abitur exams: reading comprehension, analytical skills, linguistic accuracy and independent opinions. Although expectations vary from one federal state to another, they can be traced back to common competencies. When young people understand why these competencies are so important later on at university, during a semester abroad and in their careers, their motivation increases noticeably.
Online English Tutoring For The Gymnasium Upper Secondary (Grades 11–13)
In grades 11 to 13 the amount of material is large, and many courses run as basic or advanced courses. Our online English tutoring is designed so that it fits flexibly into any timetable. We work with textbooks that are aligned with German curricula, and we include current Abitur exam tasks.
First we analyse together where strengths and weaknesses lie: does someone have problems with listening comprehension, or are the right phrases missing in essays? After that we plan when which topics will be covered, and we link content such as globalisation, digital media or Shakespeare with concrete exam formats.
In addition, students can work through entire topic blocks with us in an online English course or an intensive English course online, for example “writing skills” or “speaking & presentation”. When learners prefer a 1:1 setting, we assign an experienced private English tutor who can respond individually to pace and exam type.
Developing Exam Strategies With Tutoring In English
Good content is rarely enough when there is no strategy. That is why in online English tutoring we also practise how to read tasks, how to allocate time and how to prepare mentally before an oral exam.
- In simulated exams we train how to structure introduction, main part and conclusion.
- We use targeted English grammar exercises when we identify typical mistakes, and we show how to reduce them step by step.
- Before oral exams we practise spontaneous discussions, presentations and exam conversations – often completely as tutoring in English so that students get used to the real situation.
When young people realise that they have a realistic strategy and know exactly what to do and in which time frame, their nervousness drops noticeably, even for those who actually feel insecure when speaking.
Combining Online English Tutoring And Self-Study
Many upper secondary students already use apps and videos so they can learn English online. We show them how to integrate these offers sensibly into their everyday life instead of jumping from one exercise to the next without a plan. Before or after our sessions they receive recommendations on which platforms fit their level and which exercises they should repeat.
A structured weekly schedule might look like this:
- Two short units of online English learning with vocabulary or listening exercises.
- One longer online English tutoring session with us in which we go through tasks, train exam formats and clarify open questions.
- Regular mini tests to make it clear what is already in place and what still needs to be practised.
In this way we combine the benefits of flexible self-study with professional support. Even when the Abitur date still seems far away, preparation starts as soon as the first upper secondary exam is written.
