Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. While tutors focus on the French curriculum, their guidance can be invaluable for a university application. They can help your child achieve the high A-Level grades needed, and their mentorship can build the academic confidence that shines through in personal statements and interviews.
My child attends a high-achieving school like Durham Johnston. Can a tutor keep up with their demanding curriculum?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students from academically demanding schools. They can tailor their lessons to match the pace and depth of your child's schoolwork, helping to consolidate their learning, fill any gaps, and even stretch them with more advanced concepts to help them aim for top marks.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. We recommend finding someone with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE exam technique or A-Level literature analysis.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does a French tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you'll know the cost upfront with no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed specifically for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a convenient and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child with French speaking practice?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. Your child gets a dedicated conversation partner to practise with in a low-pressure environment. Tutors can help them improve their pronunciation, build vocabulary, and gain the confidence they need for their oral exams.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence, which is often the key to unlocking better academic performance.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding, or get into music production, we can help.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for their A-Level French exams specifically?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support for exam preparation, focusing on past papers, marking criteria, and effective revision strategies. They can help your child understand exactly what examiners are looking for to secure the highest possible grade.
How can a tutor help my child with French speaking practice?
That's where online tutoring really helps. You can find tutors who offer lessons in the evenings or at weekends, fitting them around school, clubs, and family commitments. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile before you book.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
