Ricarda M
My daughter has been using Ricarda for A Level German tuition for the past couple of months. My daughter's test grades have already gone up and her teacher has commented on the progress she has made over the last couple of months. Ricarda is very personable, reliable and responsive. She listens, and quickly understood the areas my daughter needs to work on. She is a great tutor and I'm very happy that I chose her to support my daughter. I would highly recommend Ricarda!

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 Queen Mary's College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE German grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the specific areas of the German GCSE curriculum your child finds challenging to build their confidence and strengthen their application.
We live in Basingstoke, so how does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers the best of both worlds: you get access to the UK's top German tutors without being limited by your local area. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which includes a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience with their specific exam board and goals. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to see if they're a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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.
How much does online German tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been interviewed by our team. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
My child's confidence in speaking German is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One-to-one lessons are a safe and supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the pressure of a classroom. Tutors can run conversation drills, help with pronunciation, and build the confidence your child needs for their speaking exams.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find is perfect for keeping students engaged and making real progress. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and see how they are getting on. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable boost in their child's confidence and class participation very quickly.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects for exams like the 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or master a new software, we have expert tutors who can help.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a computer or laptop with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so you don't need to download any special software.
Can tutoring help my child get into a university like Southampton or Surrey?
A strong set of GCSEs is the foundation for a successful university application. By helping your child achieve a higher grade in a challenging subject like German, a tutor can strengthen their academic profile, opening up more A-Level choices and improving their chances when applying to competitive universities.
