Hedwig Shackle

I provide private German language tuition in the Cape Town area, specializing in basic conversation, grammar and reading skills, as well as German literary and cultural history.

I conceptualise course outlines and source appropriate teaching materials to provide consistent, well-structured course content. I also compose and invigilate written assessments as well as year-end oral and written examinations based on course work. During the COVID-19 outbreak, I manage the language courses via the university's online platform, creating various online learning materials, online assessments and keeping track of student progress.

I composed professional CVs for German nationals across all industries using job market research and keyword optimization strategies while liaising with an international team of English- and German-speaking editors based in the USA. I managed individual projects from initial client contact and collaboration through the revision cycles to project completion. Additionally, I actively contributed towards team development and training the expanding staff writer team.

I provided one-on-one high school level English tuition to students from various schools. I also represented the German Language section of the International School of Cape Town in assisting students in their preparation for ISCT A Level examinations.
