Opening Doors with French: From GCSEs to University
A strong grade in a modern language like French doesn't just look good on paper; it opens up a world of opportunities for your child. It's a key qualification that helps an application stand out, whether they're aiming for A-Levels at Oldham Sixth Form College or a place at a top Russell Group university like the University of Manchester. The skills they'll build – from mastering grammar and verb tenses to developing the confidence to hold a conversation – are valuable for life, not just for exams.

Creative French tutor
I hold a BA and MA from Royal Holloway, University of London, specialising in arts and humanities, giving me strong academic grounding across the subjects I teach.
I tutor English from Primary through to GCSE and Maths at primary level, including SATs preparation. I also offer History and French to GCSE. Having experienced first-hand the difference that one-to-one support can make to grades, I know what students need from extra tuition: clarity, patience, and sessions that feel constructive rather than stressful.
I adapt each session to the individual pupil, whether that means targeting...

Find a tutor Sasha W
I would recommend Sasha to help with A Level French without hesitation. She helped my daughter primarily with her speaking and writing exams. Sasha is friendly and approachable, and built a rapport quickly with my daughter, making her feel comfortable and confident! With the speaking exam, Sasha always prepared thorough and insightful questions to practice a ‘mock’ exam, giving her confidence and improving her analytical skills in French. In regards to the writing, Sasha was able to effectively identify which areas needed improvement the most, with constructive feedback. As a result, my daughter achieved an A* and achieved nearly full marks in the writing paper, and we have no doubt that Sasha’s input very much contributed to this. She is a fabulous tutor, thank you Sasha!!!

I am very grateful to Catherine for teaching my son French. My son attended a new school at the end of Year 8 and new to French. He managed to catch up with the syllabus after one term. Catherine is kind, warm and friendly, and explains concepts clearly and patiently. My son feels confident going forward in doing French in Year 9. Thank you, Catherine!

Esther has been a fantastic French tutor for my daughter. She is professional, patient, reliable and always punctual. After each lesson, she leaves helpful notes and feedback, which makes it easy to follow my daughter's progress.
With Esther's support and guidance, my daughter achieved a Grade 9 in GCSE French, which we are absolutely delighted with. We really appreciate all the time and effort Esther has put into helping her prepare for her GCSE.

Claire D
My lessons with Claire helped me achieve an 8 in my French GCSE, despite previously getting low 7s in my school tests. Claire provided me with a wide range of useful resources, tips and exam techniques, and worked through several past papers with me. Her lessons improved my vocabulary and grammar, which are areas that many students find challenging. I’m grateful for her support and would recommend her as a French tutor to those aiming for similar results.
