Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're worried our location on the Isle of Wight puts our child at a disadvantage for university applications. Can tutoring help?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for parents, and it's exactly where a great tutor can help. By providing focused, one-to-one support, a tutor can ensure your child masters the French curriculum in depth, helping them achieve the top grades that make a university application stand out and compete with the best.
My child goes to school on the island, for example at Medina College. Can a tutor support their specific French curriculum?
Yes, they can. Our tutors are experienced with the main UK exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel) used in schools across the country, including on the Isle of Wight. You can chat with potential tutors before booking to ensure they are a perfect match for your child's specific syllabus and learning needs.
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 filter tutors by their experience and price. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to make sure you feel confident in your choice.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. All our tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget.
What happens if we don't like the first lesson?
We want you and your child to be completely happy. With 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child with confidence in speaking French?
The one-to-one online environment is a safe and supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation and role-play to build fluency and confidence, which is especially helpful for oral exams.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French, or can my child learn other skills too?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or explore a new hobby, you can find an expert tutor to help them.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. With regular lessons, your child can make significant progress towards their academic goals.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have an open conversation with your child's tutor. They will be happy to provide regular feedback on what they've been covering in lessons and the progress your child is making.
How can a tutor help my child with confidence in speaking French?
Life happens! You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice. If you give less than 12 hours' notice, the tutor can choose whether to charge for the lesson.
