David J
Experienced French Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Amelia T
Passionate 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 ...

Kathy F
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...

Esther J
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.
I would highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a professional and supportive French tutor.

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.

Rebecca is a fantastic French tutor. She tutored my daughter for A level French - my daughter was sitting on a D grade in year 12 and worked hard with Rebecca and to get an A. Rebecca was patient, organised, encouraging and always thinking of ways my daughter could improve and get better. Her support and kindness and the interest she took in my daughter’s progress was above and beyond expectations. Thank you Rebecca!
