How a Strong German Grade Can Make All the Difference
A great grade in German is more than just another qualification; it's proof of valuable skills that prestigious Russell Group universities actively look for. Mastering German grammar and being able to hold a conversation shows a fantastic ability to communicate clearly and think critically. These are skills that will not only strengthen their university application for courses in languages, but also for subjects like international business, history, and law, giving them a genuine competitive edge.

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.

Astrid’s lessons were clear, supportive, and really helped build her confidence, she even started to enjoy German. Astrid was also kind and flexible, which made the whole experience so positive. We’re so grateful for the huge difference she made and would highly recommend her!

asked questions

My child is hoping to apply to Durham or Newcastle University. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their academic profiles for applications to Russell Group universities. They can focus on helping your child achieve the high grades in German needed to make their application stand out and meet demanding entry requirements.
We live in a more rural part of Northumberland. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring is a perfect solution as it removes any geographical barriers. As long as you have a stable internet connection, your child can connect with the UK's best German tutors from home, without you needing to worry about travel time or finding someone local.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session. It's all about finding the best fit for your child's personality and learning goals.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure your child has the best possible learning experience. 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 much does online German tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, making it easy to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
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 also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective learning environment that your child can access from any computer or tablet.
Can a tutor help my child with their conversational German skills?
Yes, definitely. One-to-one lessons are a brilliant way for your child to practise speaking German in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Their tutor can help them build confidence, improve their accent, and expand their vocabulary for their speaking exams.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you often see progress quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you offer tutoring for GCSE and A-Level German?
Yes. We have many tutors who specialise in preparing students for their exams. They have expert knowledge of the curriculum and can help your child with everything from exam technique to mastering specific modules.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or take up a new craft, we have expert tutors who can help.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Paying for sessions is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed using the card details you add to your account. You'll never need to handle cash, and you can easily track all your payments online.
