Nick H
Expert French tutor
Hello to all Tutora website visitors.
I assume that you must be searching for that elusive tutor who can miraculously upgrade your son or daughter's performance in the minimum number of weeks possible.
Having taught in a state primary school for 22 years, and then as a one-to-one tutor for the last 6, I can assure you that such achievements occasionally happen, but often take far longer. Delusions over - I hope not!
However, I like to aim high! If the potential is there, my role is to help release it. Nevertheless, I am realistic too. Sometimes a quick fix works miracles and all the doors...

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 ...

Megan is a very understanding teacher, works perfectly well with my sons French need. She goes extra mile to get the school syllabus to review with my son & he really improved with his French as a subject. Thanks a lot.

Frankie N
I was looking for a tutor to help me focus on a specific revision skill for my French A-level mock, namely summary writing. Frankie mentioned that students did not ordinarily ask to practise summaries but he was very well prepared with materials tailored to my needs. He guided me through the process step by step and provided examples across a wide range of topics, which helped build my confidence and improve my technique. We also spent one session focusing on French tenses, which was a useful refresher.
Frankie was flexible in accommodating my schedule (I only had 5 sessions squeezed in the run-up to my mock exam). He was always prepared, knowledgeable and happy to tailor the sessions to suit my needs. Ideal for anyone looking for focused, effective support with French A-level revision.

Valerie A
Valerie is an absolutely amazing teacher - she is so good at explaining things in a way which I was able to understand and was also so kind and patient with me! Her lessons felt structured but still very personal and adapted specifically so I could get the best out of my lessons!
She was also really organised and always got in touch if/when a lesson needed to be rearranged as soon as possible and gave us plenty of choice and flexibility with when I had my lessons so that it would suit me and fit my needs.
I really enjoyed my French classes with her and I would 100% recommend.

Genevieve has been incredibly helpful and supportive of my daughter Abi in the build up to her French A Level exams. She was able to help Abi gain confidence in her grammar in particular the more complex requirements. It was also great the Genevieve was a native speaker and Abi enjoyed working with her.

Shaafia S
After previously having a bad experience with another tutor, Shaafia really has helped me at such last minute. She was able to adapt the lessons to help with any weaker areas that I had. I felt more and more confident with each lesson and could see the progress I was making being reflected in class as well. I only had lessons with Shaafia for 3 months as she supported me through the A-level exam period, but I have really learnt so much from her. I would 100% recommend her to anybody!
