Elisabeth I
German Learning Made Fun
I hold a BA Honours Degree in German and French with Spanish as an extra subject, and I also hold a teaching certificate from Germany. Besides, I am a German native speaker and have lived and worked in France, which means that I can provide students with intricacies that you normally only acquire when you live in the foreign country. Teaching languages is my passion as I believe it opens a whole new world for the student, and I feel that I relate well to learners of all ages. I have over 25 years of experience tutoring on a one-to-one basis as well as groups, and in the past, I also taught evening...

Sabine has been an excellent tutor for my son at German GCSE. I wish we had found her sooner. She has adapted her approach to suit him and he has really enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend Sabine to anyone looking for a German tutor.

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.

My daughter was predicted a grade 5 in her German GCSE but, thanks to Astrid, she achieved a grade 7! Astrid’s lessons were clear, supportive, and really helped build her confidence, she even started to enjoy German. Astrid was also kind and flexible, which made the whole experience so positive. We’re so grateful for the huge difference she made and would highly recommend her!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child in Dumfries?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors have experience with specific exam boards. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if it's a good fit.
How much do online German tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum, like SQA National 5 or Highers?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students across the UK, including those studying for SQA qualifications. You can check their profile for details or message them directly to ask about their experience with the Scottish curriculum.
My child attends Dumfries and Galloway College. Can a tutor help with their coursework?
Absolutely. We have tutors who specialise in supporting students at college and university level. They can provide help with specific modules, coursework, or exam preparation to help your child achieve their goals.
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 has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and tailor lessons to your child's pace, which is a fantastic way to build their self-belief.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's like being in the same room, but with the convenience of learning from home.
How do you vet your tutors?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass an interview process. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is important. 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 often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones as needed, all in agreement with your tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with subjects like German, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, coding, or even public speaking, we can help.
Why should I trust Tutorful?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. Parents and students have given us a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, reflecting our commitment to providing high-quality, trusted tutoring.
How do you vet your tutors?
Yes, it can make a big difference. Our tutors can help your child strengthen their subject knowledge, improve their grades, and even offer support with personal statements and interview practice, giving them a stronger application.
