Creative French tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

’ve had a really great experience learning French with Sandrine. She listens to my needs and adapts lessons to suit what I want to work on, which helps a lot. She’s supportive, patient, and never makes me feel like I’m not good enough, which has really built my confidence. I’d definitely recommend her, especially for A-level French students.

Lauren is a very diligent and attentive tutor. She makes sure you are comfortable and is always letting you know that she is able to help.

Genevieve M
Genevieve is a fantastic tutor. She is extremely engaging to learn from, explaining everything very patiently and clearly, and she has a really good sense of humour. I’m particularly impressed by the effort she puts in to prepare extra learning materials for me between classes based on the specifics of what I struggled with in the previous lesson. I really didn’t expect that level of additional work from her, it’s so thoughtful and helpful. I intend to be learning French up to conversational fluency so I need many, many hours of teaching, and I am therefore very glad I chose Genevieve to deliver them as she makes the time fly by.

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 is aiming for a top A-Level college in Manchester. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE French grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Many parents in Manchester use our tutors to help their children secure the GCSE grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. A tutor can focus specifically on the exam board your child's school uses, helping them with exam technique and strengthening any areas of weakness to boost their final grade.
We're thinking ahead. Can a strong GCSE in French help with an application to the University of Manchester?
Yes, it can make a real difference. A strong set of GCSEs, including a language as part of the EBacc, shows Russell Group universities like the University of Manchester that a student has a broad and strong academic foundation. It demonstrates dedication and a valuable skill set, which strengthens their overall application.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It’s really simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in the right area, for example, GCSE or A-Level French. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to ask any questions before you book. It's all about finding the right personality match for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of qualification. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in speaking French?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor creates a safe, supportive space where your child can practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. This regular practice with a native or fluent speaker is fantastic for building both confidence and fluency.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you’re choosing from the very best.
How do the online lessons 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 designed to be simple and easy to use, so your child can focus on what matters most: learning French.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like French, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new craft, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson once a week works perfectly. This provides consistency and gives your child time to practise what they've learned between sessions. However, it's completely flexible, and you can arrange a schedule that works best for you and your child with your chosen tutor.
What if my child has fallen really far behind?
That's exactly what our tutors are here to help with. A one-to-one tutor can quickly identify the specific gaps in your child's knowledge and create a plan to get them back on track. They can go back over topics and work at your child's pace, which is something that's often not possible in a busy classroom.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, that’s a great way to use tutoring. You can ask a tutor to focus specifically on certain areas, like preparing for the speaking assessment, improving listening comprehension, or mastering the grammar needed for the writing paper. They can tailor every session to your child's exam needs.
