Mara F
I've been learning German with Mara for around 2 months having used language apps prior to this.
Mara quickly grasped my level, identifying my weaknesses whilst also taking onboard my overall aspirations and what I hoped to achieve from tutoring.
Throughout my lessons, she has both requested and listened to my feedback regarding lesson structure, which are tailored to my preferences making them engaging and enjoyable.
Mara's traditional approach has improved my understanding of fundamental German language concepts which I hope to build on in the future.
In addition to the above, Mara is flexible with her schedule and very responsive outside of lesson time.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at York College. Can a tutor help them get the German GCSE grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs. They can help your child master the curriculum, perfect their exam technique, and build the confidence needed to secure the grades required for their desired A-Level courses.
We have our sights set on the University of York. Can tutoring help strengthen a future application?
Yes, it can. A strong grade in a language like German demonstrates academic breadth and dedication, which can make a UCAS application more competitive. A tutor can help your child achieve the best possible grade to support their long-term ambitions.
How do I choose the best German tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality your child will warm to.
How much does a German tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors has passed a background check and has been personally vetted by our education consultant team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child has lost confidence in German. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a patient, encouraging environment where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes, which is often the key to rebuilding their self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's easy! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means progress can be seen quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a difference in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like German?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary through to university level, we also have tutors for a wide range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or pick up a new craft, we have tutors who can help.
What if our family has a really busy schedule?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. With tutors available from early morning to late evening, seven days a week, you can easily find a time that fits around school, clubs, and other family commitments.
My child has lost confidence in German. Can a tutor help with that?
Our tutors are brilliant at this. They can work through past papers with your child, teach them how to manage their time effectively in an exam, and show them how to structure answers to earn the most marks. This specific focus can make a huge difference to their final grade.
