My experience includes the following:- I have single-handedly taught a Year 8 student French GCSE. Since his school lesson schedule didn't permit him to study French there, he and I were the only two responsible for his French GCSE grade - an 8 - which he achieved as a Year 9 student this summer.- Two years ago I was able to raise the grade of a dyslexic student predicted a 5 to the final achievement of an 8 (this Year 11 student began...

Cambridge Examiner - Latin and French Tutor
I love teaching languages. I have taught Latin and Spanish in both the independent and maintained sectors and have run Adult Education courses for Local Authorities. I tutor Latin, Spanish and French at both GCSE and “A” Level. My strength as a tutor is in being able to detect the areas of knowledge or skill with which the student needs help and tailoring the lessons to improve the student’s performance in those areas. Having examined many past papers at both GCSE and A Level, I am very familiar with the examination style and content in my subjects of expertise. I graduated in Classics (Latin and A...

Enthusiastic (and patient) tutor of French Tutor for all levels
Hi I have always loved French and have a natural flair and feel for it, so, naturally, I went on to study it atUniversity. My particular course gave me the opportunity to work in both France and Switzerland so I got to experience how people really work and live in both these places.I also travelled widely during my placements to experience the culture and understand the identity of the locals. My family and I have now returned to the UKafter more than 12 years of living and working in Paris. In fact, both my children were born in Paris. I am keen to maintain their level in French so regularly tutor...

Sandrine C
We found Sandrine on Tutorful to help my daughter with her French GSCE speaking and listening exam. Sandrine has been excellent! She is always well-prepared for the lessons and has given my daughter so much advice and confidence. I can even go so far as to say that my daughter enjoys her sessions with Sandrine as she finds them so useful. The Tutorful platform is also extremely user-friendly. I can't recommend both Sandrine and Tutorful enough.

Catherine C
Catherine is an excellent teacher who has been very helpful in improving both my spoken and written French. I am a second year university student studying French and Catherine has been a great help in making my language even more advanced and fluent. She has assisted me in constructing a presentation for a French oral exam, which requires a high level of academic French. Alongside this we have spoken about a wide range of complex subjects, during which Catherine has corrected and explains any grammatical issues I might have. Lessons are enjoyable and comprehensive, would definitely recommend!
