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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive university like UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our German tutors are experienced in helping students secure top grades for Russell Group university applications. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques needed to stand out and ensure German is a strong point on their UCAS form.
The schools in Highbury are very demanding. Can a tutor keep up with my child's curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are familiar with the demands of the UK's top school curricula. During your first chat, you can discuss your child's specific school, their syllabus, and their current challenges to ensure the tutor is a perfect match and can align their lessons with what's being taught in the classroom.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right German tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications right on their profile. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure it's the right match.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has been interviewed and has had their ID and background checked. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.

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 can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors create a positive learning space that helps your child feel capable and motivated.
How much does online German tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour depending on their experience. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or more frequent lessons.
Can I speak to a tutor before booking?
Of course. We encourage you to send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals and see who feels like the best fit. This initial chat is completely free and helps you book with confidence.
How do online lessons work?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also help students explore their passions. We offer lessons in everything from learning to play the guitar and coding in Python to preparing for the 11+ or developing new skills for personal growth.
