Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to the University of Dundee or St Andrews. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our French tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong academic profile needed for competitive university applications. They can focus on achieving the required National 5 and Higher grades that will make their application stand out.
We're worried about the National 5 French exams at Harris Academy. Can a tutor help with specific curriculum challenges?
Definitely. Our tutors can tailor their support to the specific demands of the SQA curriculum your child is following. They can help with everything from past paper practice to specific areas of grammar or vocabulary that your child finds difficult, giving them the tools they need to succeed.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will click with.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find a tutor that works for your family. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
What if we don't get on with the first French tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in French?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them replace anxiety with self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What if my child's schedule is already packed with activities?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find a session that fits around school, sports, and other commitments.
How long will it take to see my child's grades improve?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like French, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding languages like Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
