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.

We’re so grateful for the huge difference she made and would highly recommend her!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Glasgow. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students with their university applications. They can help your child hone the specific language skills and analytical abilities needed to build a strong UCAS personal statement, ensuring their German qualification strengthens their application for competitive courses.
Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish Highers curriculum for German?
Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience with the SQA curriculum, including National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers. You can check each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and even message them to ask about their familiarity with the German Highers syllabus before booking.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the German Highers, then read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors directly to discuss your child's specific needs before you book a lesson. It’s all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in German?
Confidence is key. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, they'll start to see German not as a difficult subject, but as one they can master.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to make a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent one-to-one support helps close knowledge gaps and build skills much faster than in a busy classroom.
How much does an online German tutor cost?
Our German tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You'll see the price clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked. We also interview applicants and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted, high-quality professional.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a secure and engaging space where your child can learn one-to-one with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?
All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
Is Tutorful only for academic subjects like German?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with academic subjects from primary school to university level, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It’s all about supporting their passions.
How much does an online German tutor cost?
Yes. Many tutors offer a 30-minute 'taster' session, often at a reduced rate. It's a great way for your child to meet the tutor and for you to discuss their learning goals to make sure it's a perfect fit before booking regular lessons.
