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.

One step at a time, build your confidence in French
I’m Kirsty, a qualified primary school teacher with three years of experience teaching children from 5 years old up to 11. My favourite thing about teaching is getting to know my pupils to understand what makes them “light up”. In this way, I aim to make my lessons fun and engaging, bringing the content to life in a way that makes each individual want to keep returning each week! There is nothing better than seeing a pupil’s confidence grow over time so they not only engage with the curriculum, but begin to evaluate, question and think outside of the box as their love of learning flourishes. I gaine...

My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Trinity or William Howard. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A strong set of GCSEs is crucial for these applications. Our tutors can help your child secure the French grade they need for the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), strengthening their overall academic profile and making their application more competitive.
We're hoping my child can study at a university like Lancaster or Newcastle. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A good grade in a modern foreign language like French looks excellent on a UCAS application for any course. It demonstrates valuable skills and a broader academic curiosity. A tutor can help your child achieve the A-Level grade they need to make their application stand out.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much do online French tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from around £20 per hour. You can use the search filters to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget, and you only pay for the lessons you book.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 can a tutor specifically help my child with their French GCSEs?
Our tutors can provide focused support on all areas of the French GCSE, from mastering grammar and vocabulary to practising for speaking and listening exams. They can also help with exam technique and revision strategies, which is why we can help students improve their results by up to 2 grades.
My child has lost confidence in French. Can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. The one-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can make a huge difference. By working at your child's pace in a supportive environment, they can start to build their confidence back up and enjoy learning again.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, effective, and convenient way for your child to learn from home.

Yes. We take your child's safety very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed, and we carry out background checks, including an enhanced DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with core subjects like French, Maths and English, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or start a new hobby, we have a tutor who can help.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically an hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
My child has lost confidence in French. Can a tutor help?
Life can be busy, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule any lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice.
