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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Sheffield. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. We know how much pressure there is to secure places at schools like Tapton and Silverdale. A tutor can help your child target the specific grades they need in German, turning a potential weakness into a real strength on their application and giving them the confidence to succeed.
Can a tutor help strengthen my child's application for the University of Sheffield?
Yes, they can. A strong grade in a modern foreign language like German is highly regarded by Russell Group institutions like the University of Sheffield. A tutor can help your child achieve that grade and can also offer guidance on weaving their language skills into a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
It’s really simple. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect personality fit for your child before booking your first session.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also verify their ID and interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and a passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How much does a German tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find a price that works for your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, making learning from home easy and effective.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in German?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors create a positive, patient environment where mistakes are just part of learning, helping your child to build self-belief with every lesson.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week works perfectly to build momentum and see steady progress. However, you can arrange more frequent sessions during critical times like the run-up to GCSE exams. It's completely flexible and you can discuss the right frequency with your tutor.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change you'll likely see first is a boost in your child's confidence and enjoyment of the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects like German?
While we love supporting students with academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. You can find experts in everything from learning the guitar and singing to coding and public speaking.
How do the online lessons work?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to download – you just log in to our website.
