Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study French at Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grade they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific goals. They can focus on the exam board your child's school uses, work on mastering past papers, and build the skills and confidence needed to secure the high grades required for competitive sixth forms.
How can a tutor help my child's application to the University of Leicester stand out?
Beyond securing a top A-Level grade, a tutor can help your child develop a genuine passion and fluency in French. They can explore French culture, literature, and current affairs, giving your child a depth of knowledge that will shine through in their personal statement and any potential interviews.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy for you. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's needs and see who feels like the best fit before booking.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have 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.
My child has lost their confidence in French. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can make the biggest difference. A private tutor creates a safe, patient space for your child to ask questions without fear of being wrong. They'll celebrate small wins and build your child's self-belief, one lesson at a time.
How much do online French tutors in Leicester cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or booking fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to learn effectively from the comfort of home.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent). We're very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we support students in all academic subjects from primary school through to university, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How long are the lessons?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this is usually the most effective timeframe. However, you can arrange a different lesson length with your tutor if you feel it would suit your child better. It's completely flexible.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is all about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child to understand their strengths, what they're struggling with, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. There's no travel time involved, and you can find tutors who are available in the evenings or on weekends, making it much easier to fit lessons around your family's commitments.
