Sabine has been an excellent tutor for my son at German GCSE. I wish we had found her sooner. She has adapted her approach to suit him and he has really enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend Sabine to anyone looking for a German tutor.

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!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to a competitive university like Exeter or Bristol. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. A strong A-Level grade in a challenging subject like German can significantly strengthen a UCAS application. Our tutors can help your child secure that grade by providing expert subject knowledge and exam technique coaching. Many can also offer guidance on personal statements, helping your child articulate their passion for the subject.

We're in St Ives and worry our local school lacks the specialist German focus of a big city school. How can online tutoring help?

This is a common concern, and it's where online tutoring really helps. We give your child access to top German specialists from across the UK, not just your local area. This means you can find a tutor with specific experience in the A-Level syllabus or someone who is a native speaker, giving your child the expert support they need to compete for top grades.

How do I choose the right German tutor for my child?

It's important to find someone your child connects with. You can view detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We also encourage you to message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking your first lesson.

My child has lost confidence in German. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Tutors create a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By going back over the basics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's confidence and reignite their enjoyment of the subject.

How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE German exams?

Our tutors can provide focused support on all areas of the GCSE German exam, from improving speaking confidence and pronunciation to mastering listening skills and exam technique. They can tailor lessons to your child's specific exam board, and we've found our support can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

How do I know the tutors are safe?

Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and verified professional.

What happens if we don't like the first tutor we try?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 much does an online German tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing exercises, and the ability to upload documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Most lessons are one hour long, and most families choose to have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam or fortnightly sessions for general support.

What if we need to reschedule a lesson?

Life is busy, and we understand that things can change. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson through our platform, as long as you give your tutor 24 hours' notice.

What happens if we don't like the first tutor we try?

While we offer expert support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to piano and chess!
