George has been tutoring my 10 year old son and he managed to captivate his interest in the language.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive London university. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure top grades at A-Level, which is crucial for applications to leading universities in London and across the UK. They can focus on exam technique and deeper subject knowledge to help your child's application stand out.
We live in Newham and my child's school doesn't offer Portuguese GCSE. Can you still help?
Yes, definitely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can cover the entire GCSE or A-Level curriculum from scratch, providing all the support your child needs to sit the exam as a private candidate and achieve a great result.
How do I choose the best Portuguese tutor for my child?
You can view detailed profiles for each tutor, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure they are the perfect fit for your family.
My child can already speak Portuguese well. How can a tutor help with their reading and writing?
This is a great starting point! A specialist tutor can build on your child's conversational fluency to develop their formal skills. They'll focus on grammar, spelling, sentence structure, and how to write compelling essays, turning their spoken ability into a strong academic qualification.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just 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 Portuguese tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can easily find a highly-rated, experienced tutor who fits within your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like Portuguese, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help your child excel in Portuguese, we can also support them with everything from Maths and Science to learning a musical instrument like the guitar or a new skill like coding.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has all the tools they need, like an interactive whiteboard.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can discuss their learning goals together and see their confidence grow as they tackle new challenges in their lessons. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude to learning very quickly.
How long are the online lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time for a student to stay focused and learn effectively. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
We're proud to have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100 reviews from parents and students just like you. It's a testament to the quality and dedication of our brilliant tutors.
