My child attends a competitive Guildford school. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students thrive in high-achieving environments. They can tailor sessions to match your child's specific school curriculum, helping them master difficult topics, prepare for exams, and build the confidence to excel amongst their peers.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. How can a French tutor strengthen my child's application?
Top universities look for well-rounded candidates, and a strong grade in a modern foreign language like French is highly respected. A tutor can help your child secure the top marks that make their application more competitive, demonstrating dedication and a broader academic skill set.
What if my child doesn't click with their first French tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good fit before booking a lesson.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your family's budget.

Are your tutors qualified to teach French?
Yes. We take pride in having some of the best tutors in the UK. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and they are all interviewed and background-checked. You can see each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
We generally recommend one hour-long session per week to build momentum and see consistent progress. However, you can arrange a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine, whether that's more frequent sessions before an exam or fortnightly lessons.

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for real progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence.

Not at all! While we support students across all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors for hobbies and personal skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new craft.
