My daughter has been taking Portuguese lessons with Fernanda for a few months now, and the experience has been excellent. Fernanda is patient, explains concepts clearly, and keeps my daughter engaged throughout the lesson, which has been very helpful in preparing for the upcoming GCSE exam. Highly recommend!

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for the University of York. Can a Portuguese tutor help strengthen their UCAS application?

Absolutely. Gaining a formal qualification in Portuguese can be a fantastic way to make their personal statement stand out. It demonstrates dedication, a global mindset, and a skill that many other applicants won't have, which is highly valued by competitive universities.

Portuguese isn't offered at my child's school in York. Can a tutor help them gain a qualification?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. Our tutors can provide the structured support your child needs to work towards a formal qualification like a GCSE or A-Level in Portuguese as a private candidate, turning their fluency into a recognised achievement.

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

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.

How much does online Portuguese tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Portuguese 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 do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.

My child is already a fluent speaker. How can a tutor help them?

For fluent speakers, a tutor can be incredibly helpful for refining formal writing skills, mastering complex grammar, and preparing for the specific demands of UK exams like GCSEs or A-Levels. They can bridge the gap between conversational fluency and academic excellence.

How can tutoring help build my child's confidence?

One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When your child sees they can master tricky topics and make real progress with a tutor who champions them, their self-belief grows, and that often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering coding languages like Python, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.

How long does it take to see progress?

Every child learns at their own pace, but because one-to-one tutoring is so focused, many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

My child is already a fluent speaker. How can a tutor help them?

Of course. Our tutors offer flexible scheduling to fit around your family's commitments. You can easily find a tutor who is available at times that work for you, whether it's after school, in the evening, or on a Saturday morning.
