Focused German Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
A great tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection. Our tutors, chosen from the top 1 in 8 applicants and background-checked for your peace of mind, get to know how your child learns. They'll spot exactly where your child is struggling, whether it’s with noun cases or sentence structure, and adapt their approach to help things click. Each online lesson is built around your child's needs. If they're finding GCSE speaking exams daunting, the session can focus on conversation practice. If A-Level literature is the challenge, they can spend time breaking down complex texts. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with GCSE students often improving by up to two grades. Juggling school, activities, and family life is hard enough. Online tutoring takes the stress out of extra support. You can find the perfect German tutor for your child and schedule lessons at times that work for you, all from the comfort of your home in Portsmouth. It's simple, secure, and effective.

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
We're aiming for a place at Havant and South Downs College. Can a tutor help my child secure the German grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific areas of the German GCSE curriculum your child finds most challenging to build their skills and confidence ahead of their exams.
My child is considering a modern languages degree at the University of Portsmouth. Can a tutor support their A-Level studies?
Yes. We have many specialist A-Level German tutors who can provide in-depth support for the step up from GCSE. They can help with everything from advanced grammar to analysing literature, ensuring your child develops the skills needed for university-level study.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can find someone you feel comfortable with.
How much does an online German tutor cost in Portsmouth?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your budget.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child to engage with their tutor just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in German?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space makes all the difference. Your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious, and the tutor can tailor their teaching style to celebrate small wins, which helps build momentum and self-belief.
Are your tutors qualified to teach German?
Yes. We take quality and safety very seriously. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and all of them are interviewed and have their backgrounds checked. You can see each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile.

While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and practical skills like playing the guitar, coding, or public speaking.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, tailored support can make a big impact quickly. Because lessons are focused entirely on your child's needs, they can make progress much faster than in a classroom setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical German tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of the last lesson, then move onto a specific topic they're struggling with, like verb conjugations or exam technique. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to work through problems together in real-time.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in German?
Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we only process the payment 24 hours after a lesson has been completed. There are no sign-up fees or hidden charges.
