David J
Experienced French Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Brilliant French tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends Ilkley Grammar School. Can I find a tutor familiar with the high standards expected?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in helping students meet the demands of academically selective schools. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and the school's curriculum.
We're worried a weaker French grade could affect A-Level choices and university applications. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek our support. A tutor can help your child target the specific areas needed to secure a strong grade, strengthening their overall academic profile and keeping their options open for A-Levels and competitive university courses.
How do I pick the right French tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos, reading reviews from other parents, and using our messaging system to chat with a few before you book. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much do online French tutors in Ilkley cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first French tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has undergone a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very strict and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in French lessons?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By patiently going over topics until they feel secure, a tutor helps build their self-belief, which they'll take back into the classroom.
What happens in a typical one-hour French lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then introduce a new grammar concept using the interactive whiteboard, and finish with some conversational practice for an upcoming oral exam. It's always focused on your child's immediate learning goals.
Can we have lessons at a time that suits our family's busy schedule?
Of course. That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions for evenings, weekends, or even during school holidays – whatever works best for you.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like French, or can you help with hobbies like learning guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, master a coding language like Python, or get help with their university personal statement, we have expert tutors who can help.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent, tailored support is the key, and often the first thing parents notice is a boost in their child's confidence and enjoyment of the subject.
