Fatima S
I have been having Urdu lessons from Fatima for 3 weeks now and I could not recommend her tutoring service enough. From the first lesson I felt confident and that she really understood what I wanted to achieve by taking these lessons, every session is broken down so I am able to learn, understand and pronounce the words and phrases correctly. I am now going on to my forth lesson and have already learnt so much I feel more than confident speaking and practising outside of our online lessons. Fatima is an amazing tutor and has so much patience and a lovely way of speaking/teaching and I really do look forward to my upcoming lessons and I trust she will be able to get me to where I want to be with my Urdu.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Graveney or a Harris Federation school. Can a tutor help with their Urdu GCSE to strengthen their application?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades in their Urdu GCSE. They can focus on the specific requirements of the exam board, helping your child master the syllabus and build the confidence needed to perform well, which can be a great advantage on a competitive sixth form application.
How do I find the right Urdu tutor for my child?
It's easy. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also send them a message to ask any specific questions before booking, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child's needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first Urdu tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking Urdu with family?
Our tutors create a relaxed and encouraging environment where your child can practise speaking without feeling judged. They can focus on conversational skills, everyday vocabulary, and correct pronunciation, helping to build the fluency and confidence your child needs to enjoy conversations with relatives.
We live in South London. How does online tutoring work if the tutor isn't local?
The beauty of online tutoring is that geography isn't a barrier. Your child can connect with the very best Urdu tutors from across the UK, not just those in your immediate area. All lessons happen in our interactive online classroom, with video chat and a shared whiteboard, so it feels just like they're in the same room.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been interviewed and have had their ID and qualifications verified. We also carry out background checks to ensure they are safe to work with children.
How much do online Urdu tutors cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no special software to download.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Typically, lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as many are flexible and can arrange different session lengths.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else, like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are experts in academic support for subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills like coding, music, art, and new languages.
Can tutoring help if my child has fallen behind at school?
Yes, one-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to help your child catch up. A tutor can identify the specific areas where your child is struggling, patiently go over topics they didn't understand in class, and build their confidence back up at their own pace.
How much do online Urdu tutors cost?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can get started right away.
