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.

My child is hoping to apply to King's College London. Can a tutor help strengthen their German A-Level for their UCAS application?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for university applications. They can focus on the specific A-Level topics and exam techniques needed to achieve the top grades that make an application to a competitive university like King's stand out.
Competition for schools like Graveney is fierce. Can a tutor help my child get ahead in German before their GCSEs?
Yes, a tutor can be a great way to build a strong foundation in German before the pressure of GCSEs begins. They can help your child master the basics, build confidence, and develop a genuine interest in the language, which is a fantastic advantage in a competitive school environment.
How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them to ask questions before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first German tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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.

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, you can arrange lessons as often as you like – you can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor to fit your child's goals and your schedule.
How does online tutoring actually work?
