Lina H
Professional and inspiring French and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive course at a London university like UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our French tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for the rigorous demands of top university applications. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and conversational skills needed to achieve an A or A* at A-Level, making your child's UCAS application as strong as possible.
The schools in Central London are very competitive. Can I find a tutor experienced with the A-Level curriculum at top schools?
Yes. Our tutors have a wide range of experience, including teaching the curricula used at leading independent and state schools. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their qualifications and experience, to find the perfect match for your child's specific school and syllabus.
How can a tutor specifically help my child with conversational French fluency?
This is one of the key benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In each session, your child has a safe space to practise speaking with a fluent expert. Tutors can run conversation drills, discuss current affairs in French, and correct pronunciation and grammar in real-time, building the confidence and accuracy needed for oral exams and beyond.
What if my child doesn't click with their first French tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can browse our tutors' profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and their ID is verified. We also interview every applicant and are highly selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How much do online French tutors in Central London cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring really help improve my child's A-Level French grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. The personalised attention of a tutor helps target the exact areas your child needs to improve. In fact, 90% of Tutorful students improve by at least one grade, giving them a much stronger foundation for their future studies.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing notes, and a facility for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without it being too overwhelming. You can discuss the ideal session length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, not just for school. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master Python, improve their chess skills, or get help with a university module, we have expert tutors available.
How much do online French tutors in Central London cost?
Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be adjusted based on your child's needs, such as increasing sessions in the run-up to exams.
