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
How do I choose the best online German tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience. Many parents find it helpful to involve their child in the choice, too.
My child attends Horsforth School. Can I find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the national curriculum, including specific exam boards like AQA and Edexcel used by schools in the Leeds area. You can message a tutor before booking to ask about their experience with your child's specific German syllabus.
We are aiming for a language course at the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with A-Level German preparation?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in A-Level German and helping students prepare for university. They can help your child master complex texts, refine their essay writing, and polish their spoken German to meet the standards required for top degree courses.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 do online lessons actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing exercises, and a space to upload documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking German?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, judgement-free space for your child to practise speaking. Tutors are patient and encouraging, helping your child build fluency and correct pronunciation without the pressure of a full classroom. This repeated practice is key to building real confidence.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does a German tutor in Horsforth cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How long should a tutoring session be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have lessons?
We generally recommend one session a week to build momentum and keep learning consistent. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more lessons leading up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. It’s flexible to suit your needs.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with subjects like German, Maths, and English, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new craft.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor. They are always happy to provide feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and what the plan is for upcoming sessions. It's a real partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
