Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help them get the French grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades to get into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific areas of the French GCSE your child needs to strengthen, building both their knowledge and exam technique to help them secure their place.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's specific goals – whether it's exam revision or confidence building – and look for a tutor whose experience matches what you need.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are shown clearly on the tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
How can a tutor improve my child's confidence in speaking French?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation, role-play, and pronunciation practice to help them become more fluent and confident.
We live in Basingstoke, so how does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It means you can access the best tutors without any travel.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all. While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English and Science, we also offer tutoring for hundreds of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or pick up a new language for fun, we can help.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can discuss arranging longer or shorter sessions directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and concentration span.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE French revision?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A tutor can create a structured revision plan, work through past papers, and focus on tricky topics to ensure your child feels fully prepared and confident heading into their exams. We can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What makes online tutoring so effective?
Online tutoring allows for completely personalised, one-to-one attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. Lessons are tailored to your child's pace and learning style, and the interactive tools in our online classroom make learning engaging and fun.
How quickly can my child start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within a few days, so your child can start getting the support they need right away.
