Lorna's biography

Lorna currently teaches at a competitive grammar school ranked in the top 10 highest achieving schools in the country. She is a qualified German teacher, with both German and school entrance tuition experience making her both a fantastic English school entrance and German tutor. At her current school, she teaches German from beginner to University level, with experience of IB and A level teaching. After having done so successfully during her year abroad, she is also very comfortable in teaching or tutoring English.

Lorna studied Modern Languages at Durham, graduating in 2010 with an Upper Second. She specialised in German, spending a year living and studying in Frankfurt. This led to her spending some time working as an au pair in Austria and a teaching assistant in a German high school. Lorna particularly loved this experience, so much so that she went well beyond her initial responsibilities, starting a debating club for her students and tutoring them in the evenings. This made her realise her passion was in teaching, leading her to train through a highly competitie teacher training course in 2011. Throughout her teaching she was consistenly graded at the highest possible grading of "Outstanding".

When not teaching or tutoring, Lorna loves travelling, and after University spent six months visiting South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America. She also loves volunteering and charity work, having run a half marathon for the Breast Cancer Campaign and taught in a primary school in Thailand.
