Online British-curriculum tutoring in Germany

Learning Loft tutors British-curriculum pupils across Germany in IGCSE, GCSE and A-Level subjects, live with UK-qualified teachers on LoftClass. Germany is one hour ahead of the UK.

Who this is for

British-curriculum provision is spread across Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and Düsseldorf, largely serving corporate relocation families. Many pupils are in bilingual or German-system schools and take British qualifications alongside, particularly in English.

Why families in Germany come to us

  • Corporate relocation families keeping a UK school re-entry route open
  • Bilingual pupils formalising English attainment with an IGCSE
  • Early-afternoon slots that suit the shorter German school day
  • Continuity across postings, where a family may move country again within two years

Qualifications we support

Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE are both present, with A-Levels and the IB at sixth form. Families on fixed-term corporate postings often need to keep a UK re-entry route open, which shapes subject choices from Year 9.

Time zones and scheduling

Germany is UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, one hour ahead of the UK throughout the year.

German school days often finish early in the afternoon, so 15:00–19:00 local time is unusually workable compared with other European markets.

Sessions are booked as a fixed weekly slot wherever possible, so the appointment becomes part of the week rather than something renegotiated every Sunday. If a school trip or a family holiday gets in the way, the slot can be moved.

How the sessions work

  1. Tell us the school, board and year group. That is what determines the right tutor — not a general subject label.
  2. Free 15-minute discovery call. We check the match before you pay for anything.
  3. Live sessions in LoftClass. Our own virtual classroom, built for teaching rather than adapted from business video-conferencing: shared whiteboard, document sharing, recordings.
  4. A short written summary after each session so parents in a different time zone still know what was covered and what to practise.

Frequently asked questions

We may move again in two years. Does that matter?

No — that is precisely why online tuition suits relocating families. Your tutor and your child's record move with you, regardless of the next posting.

Can we book afternoon sessions?

Yes. Because German school days often end early and Germany is only an hour ahead, mid-afternoon slots are available in a way they rarely are for Gulf or Asian families.

Which qualifications do you support?

Cambridge IGCSE, Pearson Edexcel International GCSE, domestic GCSE and A-Level. We do not teach the Abitur.

How do I request a tutor?

Tell us the pupil’s year group, subject, exam board and preferred times. We will match a suitable UK-qualified teacher and confirm an available slot.
