’ve had a really great experience learning French with Sandrine. She listens to my needs and adapts lessons to suit what I want to work on, which helps a lot. She’s supportive, patient, and never makes me feel like I’m not good enough, which has really built my confidence. I’d definitely recommend her, especially for A-level French students.

Genevieve M
Genevieve is a fantastic tutor. She is extremely engaging to learn from, explaining everything very patiently and clearly, and she has a really good sense of humour. I’m particularly impressed by the effort she puts in to prepare extra learning materials for me between classes based on the specifics of what I struggled with in the previous lesson. I really didn’t expect that level of additional work from her, it’s so thoughtful and helpful. I intend to be learning French up to conversational fluency so I need many, many hours of teaching, and I am therefore very glad I chose Genevieve to deliver them as she makes the time fly by.

Brilliant French tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.

Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for top universities. They can focus on developing the specific exam techniques and deeper subject knowledge required to stand out in A-Level and university applications.
My child's friends at schools like Ecclesbourne get extra help. How can a tutor give them a similar advantage?

How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding someone your child will get on with. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can trust you're in good hands.
