Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

How can a GCSE French tutor help with uneven skills like speaking and listening?

A private GCSE French tutor can provide dedicated practice for each skill. For speaking, they create a safe space for conversations, role-plays, and mock exam practice, building confidence to think on the spot. For listening, they'll share strategies to cope with speed and unfamiliar vocabulary, improving comprehension and ear training.

How do tutors help with the vast amount of GCSE French vocabulary and complex grammar?

Tutors use proven techniques to help with vocabulary retention, such as active recall, flashcards, and using new words in context. For grammar, they break down complex concepts like multiple tenses or tricky verb endings into manageable steps, offering clear explanations and plenty of exercises to reinforce understanding.

Can a tutor help with exam anxiety, especially for the speaking and listening exams?

Absolutely. Tutors understand the stress these exams can cause. They offer consistent, supportive practice in a low-pressure environment, simulating exam conditions to familiarise students with the format. This repeated exposure helps build resilience and reduces anxiety, so students feel more prepared and calm on the day.

How does a tutor help decide between the Foundation and Higher Tier?

Your GCSE French tutor can work closely with you and your child to assess their current abilities and potential. They'll review past performance, mock exam results, and discuss the implications of each tier, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your child's goals and reduces the gamble.

Is GCSE French considered a strong, academic subject?

Yes, GCSE French is highly respected by colleges and universities. It demonstrates strong linguistic abilities, an understanding of complex grammar, and cultural awareness. These are valuable skills that show academic rigour and can open doors to a wide range of future studies and careers, even if your child doesn't continue with French at a higher level.

When is the best time to start tutoring for GCSE French?

Starting early, ideally in Year 10, can be very beneficial. It allows time to build a solid foundation in vocabulary and grammar and address any challenges as they arise, like getting used to the increased pace. However, even targeted support in Year 11 for specific exam techniques or tricky topics can make a significant difference to final grades.

How do online GCSE French lessons work?

Online lessons are very flexible and convenient. Students connect with their tutor through a virtual classroom using a computer or tablet. Your child will see and hear their tutor, share documents, use an interactive whiteboard, and even practice speaking. It's just like in-person tutoring, but from the comfort of your home.
