Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive East London sixth form like Newham Collegiate. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A strong grade in a respected language like French can make your child's application stand out. Our tutors can focus on the specific areas of the curriculum your child needs to master to secure the best possible GCSE grade, strengthening their overall academic profile.
We're thinking about top London universities like UCL or LSE. How does French tutoring support that goal?
Top universities look for well-rounded candidates who demonstrate a range of academic skills. Achieving a high grade in French GCSE shows dedication and an aptitude for complex subjects, which strengthens their university application and prepares them for the rigours of degree-level study.
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 what your child needs most – is it a confidence boost, help with grammar, or exam preparation? This will help you find a tutor with the right experience.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £55, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts, you simply pay as you go.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, allowing your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person. Tutors tailor each session to your child's specific goals.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a 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.
My child has lost their motivation for French. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A great tutor can make learning fun and relevant again. By focusing on your child's interests and building their confidence with one-to-one support, they can help rediscover their enjoyment of the subject and see real progress, which is a huge motivator.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent, personalised support is the key to building skills and improving grades over time. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it with your tutor directly.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
That's the great thing about one-to-one tutoring. The lessons are completely tailored. Your child's tutor can spend as much time as needed on the areas they find most difficult, whether that's verb conjugations, tenses, or sentence structure, until they feel confident.
