What if we don't click with the first French tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and all in one place.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking French?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors use conversation-based activities to build fluency and correct pronunciation gently, which is often the key to unlocking a child's confidence.
