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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to the University of Southampton. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. A high A-Level grade in Portuguese can really strengthen a UCAS application. Our tutors can help your child master the curriculum to aim for the best possible grade, and many can also offer guidance on personal statements, drawing on their academic experience to help your child's application shine.
We're aiming for a place at Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help my child's Portuguese grade stand out?
Yes, they can. Strong GCSE results are key for applications to competitive colleges like Peter Symonds. A tutor can focus on turning your child's conversational skills into exam success, targeting the specific writing and grammar skills needed to achieve a top grade and make their application more competitive.
My child is fluent but struggles with writing. Can a tutor help with this?
This is a very common challenge, and our tutors are experts at helping with it. They can focus specifically on turning spoken fluency into strong written arguments, teaching essay structure, grammar rules, and the formal vocabulary needed to excel in exams.
How do I choose the best Portuguese tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit for their personality and learning style.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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. It's really important to us that your child feels comfortable and supported.
How much does a Portuguese tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident for their exams?
Confidence comes from feeling prepared. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. By practising exam techniques and filling in knowledge gaps, they'll walk into their exams feeling capable and ready to do their best.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence within just a few lessons. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else, like the guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like Portuguese, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors who can teach musical instruments, coding languages, new hobbies, and professional skills. There's something for everyone.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their strengths, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It’s a relaxed session designed to build a good rapport and create a tailored plan for future lessons.
