My son who is in year 8 was really struggling with French so I set about finding a kind, calm and effective tutor to bolster his confidence and to enjoy learning a language. Very happy to say we found just this with Louise. My son enjoys his lessons and is really learning the fundamentals much better than school have taught him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to the University of St Andrews. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. A strong grade in a subject like French can really strengthen a UCAS application. Our tutors can help your child master the curriculum for their Highers, aiming for the grades that will make their application to competitive universities like St Andrews as strong as possible.
We're worried about the jump to National 5 French. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common concern and our tutors are here to help. They are experienced with the SQA curriculum and can break down the complex grammar and vocabulary that often challenge students at the National 5 level, building their confidence one step at a time.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We know that finding the right personality match is essential. That's why we have a 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 do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before you book a lesson. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in speaking French?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors are brilliant at building confidence through patient conversation and positive feedback.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are from the UK and have passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we cover all school subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors who can help your child explore a new hobby or skill. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to singing and chess.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to focus on a topic without your child losing concentration. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best, but it really depends on your child's goals. You can discuss what's right for your child with your tutor – whether it's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.
Are the tutors background-checked?
We understand that life can be busy. Our cancellation policy is flexible – you just need to give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
