asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the French GCSE grade they need for Brockenhurst College?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on the specific areas of the curriculum your child finds difficult, build their confidence, and teach them the exam techniques they need to achieve the grades required for entry into competitive sixth forms like Brockenhurst.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in New Forest schools?
Yes. Our tutors are based across the UK and are experienced with the National Curriculum, including all the main exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. They can tailor their support to align with what your child is learning at school, ensuring the tutoring is relevant and effective.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. On each tutor's profile, you can see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors for a free chat to discuss your child's needs and see who they connect with best. It's all about finding someone who can support your child's learning style and personality.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll find that all our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor whose fee fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom with video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Your child and their tutor can share files, draw diagrams, and work through problems together in real-time. It’s just like being in the same room, but with all the convenience of learning from home.
My child has lost their confidence with French. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-belief and make learning French feel positive again.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they all undergo a thorough background check, including an ID check and a DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What is the First Lesson Guarantee?
We want to make sure you have the perfect tutor for your child. The First Lesson Guarantee means that if for any reason you don't get on with your first choice, we've got you covered. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we support students in all core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors who can help your child explore a new hobby or passion. You can find expert tutors for subjects like coding, learning the guitar, singing, and much more.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. The goal is to create a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor to ensure they are getting the support they need to succeed.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be unpredictable, and we understand that. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Our tutors are generally very flexible, and as long as you give them enough notice (as per their cancellation policy), you can reschedule lessons for a time that works better for your family.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no single answer to this, as every child is different. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, and they will help you create a plan that works for you.
