Hello my name is Ian W and welcome to my Tutorful profile page.I have been tutoring French and Spanish privately for 12 years as well as having previously taught in a community learning centre doing Spanish for 5 years.

Elisabeth I
French Learning Made Fun
I hold a BA Honours Degree in German and French with Spanish as an extra subject, and I also hold a teaching certificate from Germany. Besides, I am a German native speaker and have lived and worked in France, which means that I can provide students with intricacies that you normally only acquire when you live in the foreign country. Teaching languages is my passion as I believe it opens a whole new world for the student, and I feel that I relate well to learners of all ages. I have over 25 years of experience tutoring on a one-to-one basis as well as groups, and in the past, I also taught evening...

Kathy F
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. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to apply to Durham University. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications. Beyond mastering the French A-Level curriculum, they can help your child with personal statement preparation and interview practice, giving them the confidence and skills to present their best self.

We're aiming for a competitive sixth form like Durham Johnston. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades they need?

Definitely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need to progress. With personalised support, we can help boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades, ensuring they meet the entry requirements for their chosen A-Levels and sixth form.

How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for 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 much does online French tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, starting from around £20 per hour. Each tutor sets their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective learning environment. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.

My child has lost all confidence in French. Can a tutor help?

Yes. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's confidence piece by piece.

How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every single tutor and verify their ID. We also carry out background checks through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). You can rest assured your child is in safe, expert hands.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one grade.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?

While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or master a new craft, we can help them find a brilliant mentor.

What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring over a group class?

With one-to-one tutoring, the lesson is 100% focused on your child's needs. The tutor can adapt their teaching style and pace to suit your child, which isn't possible in a group setting. This personalised attention helps them make faster progress and build confidence more quickly.

My child has lost all confidence in French. Can a tutor help?

Paying for lessons is simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we process the payment automatically 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You'll never need to handle cash or make direct bank transfers.
