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.

I adapt each session to the individual pupil, whether that means targeting...

Daughter has been working with Claire for 3 months now for her A Level French. Claire has been amazing and everything is super easy on the app to communicate and change lesson dates when needed. Claire established a good rapport with our daughter from the start. Our daughter provided further glowing feedback: she is ‘low key a normal person’ and ‘helping me improve so much... She’s the first tutor you found that I actually like’.
