Why a Portuguese Qualification Can Open Doors for Your Child
Being fluent in Portuguese is a fantastic skill, but a formal qualification like a GCSE or A-Level turns it into a real advantage. It demonstrates dedication and academic ability, strengthening your child's UCAS application and making them stand out to admissions tutors at competitive universities. Beyond university, fluency in a second language is highly valued by employers, opening up a world of career opportunities both in the UK and internationally.

Need a bit of help with Portuguese? I'm here to help.
I've started teaching KS3, KS4 and KS5 eleven years ago. I have had a lot of experience working with students. It has always been my aim to make my classroom practice accessible to all students regardless of their needs and would differentiate tasks and learning styles to cater for their needs. I would consider myself a creative teacher as I would always try to find practical hands-on ways to teach which would help SEN students to learn and relate to what the topics being studied. I have experience working both with large and small groups of people.Before going into teaching I was working in businesses...

George has been tutoring my 10 year old son and he managed to captivate his interest in the language.
George find similarities on the 2 languages and that makes it much easier to learn.
I’m very pleased and will recommend George any time.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to the University of Leicester. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications. A strong grade in a Portuguese A-Level or equivalent can really make an application stand out, and a tutor can help your child build the skills and confidence to achieve that.
The local schools in Leicester don't offer Portuguese GCSE. Can a tutor still help my child get this qualification?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can provide complete support for your child to study and sit the Portuguese GCSE as a private candidate. They can guide you through the entire process, from covering the curriculum to exam preparation.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
Your peace of mind is our priority. We have a 'First Lesson Guarantee' to ensure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like Portuguese, Maths, and English, we also have amazing tutors who can teach your child practical skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even public speaking.
How do I choose the right Portuguese tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose teaching style and experience match your child's goals, whether that's exam preparation or building conversational confidence.
How much does online Portuguese tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do I know the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, so you can be completely confident.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident about their language skills?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor creates a safe space for your child to practise speaking, ask questions they might be shy about in class, and see their skills improve. This often leads to a huge boost in their overall confidence.
How many students have you helped?
We're proud to have supported over 200,000 students on their learning journeys. Our approach is trusted by thousands of families, which is reflected in our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
How do the online lessons work?
Not at all. We believe in flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular weekly slot with your tutor. There are no sign-up fees or contracts, so you're always in control.
