Parlez-vous francais? French at all levels, and fun!
I have been teaching and enjoying it for 30 years, mainly French, but also literacy and sign language classes in West Africa. I have also taught adult evening classes in London, at a College. I have, also a diploma in Special Educational Needs. My goal is to make the experience a pleasant one for my student as well as myself, and with that in view I endeavour to know my students well in order to adapt to their individual needs, wants and skills. We first establish the goal to attain and then work together toward achieving it. Some students want a more casual approach, mainly conversation, others...

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...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends a local school in Dumfries. Can a tutor help them with the Scottish curriculum?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the SQA curriculum and can provide specific support for National 5 and Higher French, tailored to what your child is learning at school.

We're worried about my child's application to universities like Glasgow or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with more than just the exam?

Yes. A great tutor can help your child develop a deeper understanding and passion for the subject, which shines through in personal statements and interviews. They can help build the confidence and analytical skills that top universities look for.

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

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match. It's all about finding someone your child connects with and whose teaching style suits them.

What if my child doesn't click with their first French 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. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to teach with us.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in French?

One-to-one attention in a safe, encouraging space makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and give your child the freedom to ask questions without feeling embarrassed, which is a fantastic way to build their self-belief.

How long are the tutoring sessions?

Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.

Can a tutor help with both spoken and written French?

Definitely. Our French tutors can help with all aspects of the language, from perfecting pronunciation and building conversational fluency to improving grammar and essay-writing skills for exams.

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects?

Not at all! While we help thousands of students with subjects like French, Maths, and English, we also have expert tutors who can teach practical and creative skills, from learning guitar and singing to coding and public speaking.

How does online tutoring actually work?

You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can offer a session within a few days, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
