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
How do I choose the best German tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's needs and personality. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a lesson.
My child attends Ilkley Grammar School. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with specific school curriculums and exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. You can mention your child's school and curriculum when you message tutors to find one with the right experience to support them.
How much does online German tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, starting from around £22 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first German tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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.
