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 child is aiming for A-Level German at Durham Johnston. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap from GCSE to A-Level. They can focus on solidifying the key knowledge and skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms and colleges, ensuring your child feels fully prepared for the step up.
Can a German tutor help my child prepare a stronger university application for a place like Durham University?
Yes, they can be a great help. A tutor can help your child achieve the high grades needed for a competitive application. They can also work on developing a deeper passion and understanding of the language and culture, which can shine through in their personal statement and interviews.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat, which is a great way to talk about your child's goals and see if their teaching style is a good match before you book.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with their German speaking confidence?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to practice speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. They can role-play scenarios and build fluency and confidence ahead of their oral exams.

Definitely. Tricky grammar points like German cases or verb tenses are often where students get stuck. A tutor can take the time to explain these concepts in a way that makes sense to your child, using examples and practice exercises until it clicks.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like music or coding too?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with Python coding, or even learn a new skill yourself, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.

How can a tutor help my child with their German speaking confidence?
Life happens, we get it! You can easily manage your schedule through our platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or change a lesson time.
