Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a competitive Barnet grammar or comprehensive school. Can a tutor help strengthen my child's academic profile?
Absolutely. Many parents in North Finchley use our tutors to give their child that extra edge. A tutor can focus on boosting their French grade, which is a key part of the EBacc, making their overall application for those sought-after school places much stronger.
My child hopes to study at a Russell Group university. How important is their French GCSE grade?
It can be very important. Top universities like to see a strong, well-rounded academic record, and the EBacc subjects, including French, are highly regarded. A great grade demonstrates linguistic skill and cultural awareness. Our tutors can help your child secure the results they need to keep their university options wide open.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right French tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right fit. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also send them a message before you book to discuss your child's specific goals, like preparing for their GCSE speaking exam, to make sure they're the perfect choice.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in French?
Confidence is key! In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to practise speaking, ask questions they might be shy to ask in class, and make mistakes without fear of judgement. This personalised attention from an expert often leads to a big boost in self-belief.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on the platform undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does an online French tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience. Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online French lesson?
Each lesson is tailored to your child. They might spend time practising conversation, going over tricky grammar points, analysing a text, or working on exam technique for a specific paper. The tutor will use our interactive online classroom, which has features like a virtual whiteboard to make learning engaging and effective.
My child is really struggling to stay motivated with French. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common challenge. A great tutor can bring the subject to life by connecting it to your child's interests, whether that's French music, film, or culture. By making lessons engaging and celebrating small wins, they can help rediscover your child's enthusiasm for learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of areas! While we help thousands of students with subjects like French, Maths, and English, you can also find expert tutors for learning an instrument like the guitar, coding in Python, or even preparing for professional qualifications.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most parents find a weekly session works best to build momentum and see consistent progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, you are in complete control and can arrange a schedule that works for your child directly with their tutor.
How much does an online French tutor cost?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
