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 attends a high-performing school in Hackney. Can a tutor keep up?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students from academically demanding environments. They can help your child manage the fast pace, deepen their understanding beyond the syllabus, and turn pressure into a positive, manageable challenge.
Can a tutor help with an application to a competitive London university like UCL or King's?
Yes. Our A-Level German tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the high grades needed for top universities. They can also help with personal statement advice and preparing for any language-specific admissions tests or interviews, making their application stand out.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs before you book a lesson. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What 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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online German tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts to worry about.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
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 not ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics, like verb conjugations or sentence structure, until things click, building your child's self-belief with every lesson.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like German?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even master public speaking.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best plan directly with your tutor.
What kind of results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is always to help them achieve their best. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how happy parents are with the progress they see.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, and for many children, it's even better. Online learning removes travel time, allows you to access the best tutors from anywhere in the UK, and provides a focused learning environment free from distractions. Our interactive classroom makes lessons just as personal and engaging.
