I have experience in teaching Latin, Classical Civilisation, History and English.Typically, I identify what it is I need to teach a student in a given lesson beforehand, and start with some recall of the necessary prerequisite knowledge.

Hello! I’m a highly experienced and enthusiastic language tutor with a real passion for helping students achieve success and confidence in German and French.In 2019, I began working as an Examiner for the German Speaking exams. This experience has been invaluable — it allowed me to plan my lessons with greater care and focus, and to design teaching strategies that genuinely help students perform under pressure, rather than simply memorising answers “off by heart.”I’ve taught German up to A-Level and French up to Foundation level, guiding learners of all abilities towards achieving their goals.

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 top London university like UCL or King's. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our German tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have experience helping students prepare strong UCAS applications. They can focus on developing the analytical skills and deep subject knowledge needed to achieve the A or A* grades required for competitive courses.
We live in Forest Hill and my child attends a competitive school. Can a tutor keep up with a fast-paced curriculum?
Yes, this is one of the key benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A private tutor can tailor their lessons to match the pace and specific curriculum of your child's school, whether they need to catch up on a difficult topic or want to push ahead and explore the subject in greater depth.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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 a German tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
How can an online tutor help my child build confidence in speaking German?
The one-to-one online environment is a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a class. Tutors use conversation practice and targeted exercises to build fluency and confidence, which is often a game-changer for language learners.
My child finds German grammar really difficult. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. German grammar can be challenging, but a tutor can break down complex rules into manageable chunks. They can use exercises and examples that relate to your child's interests, making concepts like cases and verb endings much easier to understand and remember.
What happens in an online German lesson?
Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing features. A tutor might use it to work through past papers, analyse a piece of German literature, or practise conversational skills. Every lesson is tailored to what your child needs to focus on that week.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their test scores improve is often the clearest sign of success.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to fit your child's schedule and concentration span.
How can an online tutor help my child build confidence in speaking German?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are experts in academic support for exams like GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical skills like coding, learning a musical instrument, or even public speaking.
