Kathy F
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). I would help...

Amelia T
Dedicated French tutor
I’m a tutor because I genuinely love it. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 (one-to-one and small groups), and I’m big on making learning feel less like a punishment and more like, “Oh… I can do this.” I’m patient, upbeat, and a bit of a professional translator of “confusing school wording” into plain English. If a student is anxious, overwhelmed, or convinced they’re “bad” at a subject, I’m the person who will gently prove them wrong — step by step, without judgement, and with a few laughs along the way. Progress matters, but confidence is usually the thing that unlocks it. My academic background ...

My son who is in year 8 was really struggling with French so I set about finding a kind, calm and effective tutor to bolster his confidence and to enjoy learning a language. Very happy to say we found just this with Louise. My son enjoys his lessons and is really learning the fundamentals much better than school have taught him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Oldham Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the French GCSE grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on the specific areas of the curriculum your child finds challenging to help boost their grade, which is crucial for A-Level entry requirements at competitive colleges.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like Manchester. How can a French tutor help?
A strong modern language A-Level can significantly strengthen a university application. A tutor can support your child through their A-Level studies, helping them develop the deeper analytical and conversational skills needed to achieve top grades and make their application stand out.
How do I choose the best French tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors to ask about their experience. Many parents look for tutors who have specific experience with the GCSE or A-Level syllabus their child is studying.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a 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 do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview each one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in French?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn, and all they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The personalised attention often helps concepts 'click' much faster than in a busy classroom.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works well, especially for keeping up with schoolwork or preparing for an exam. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you feel your child needs them.
What topics can a French tutor cover?
Anything your child needs help with! Tutors can cover the entire school curriculum from KS3 to A-Level, focus on exam technique, practise conversational skills, or work through tricky grammar. The lessons are completely tailored to your child.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in French?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we're here to help with academic subjects like French and Maths, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language for fun.
