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).

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Whitby High School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE French curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers and examiners who are very familiar with the specific requirements of the AQA and Edexcel GCSE French syllabuses used in schools across Ellesmere Port. You can view their profiles to see their experience and even message them to ask about their approach.
We're hoping for my child to get into West Cheshire College. Can a tutor help them secure the French grade they need?
Definitely. A tutor can provide targeted support to help your child strengthen any weak areas and build the confidence they need to achieve their target grade. By focusing on exam technique and subject knowledge, they can help make your child's college application as strong as possible.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
The best place to start is by looking at tutor profiles. You can see their experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking.
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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check and we've personally interviewed them to ensure they are of the highest quality. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much do online French tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using the filters on the search page. Tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who is a perfect match for your family's needs and budget.
How can an online tutor help with French speaking practice?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring! The online classroom provides a safe, private space for your child to practise speaking without feeling self-conscious in front of a class. Their tutor can provide instant feedback on pronunciation and help them build fluency and confidence.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in French?
Yes, this is often where tutoring helps most. A great tutor provides a supportive and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions freely and make mistakes without fear. Rebuilding that confidence is the first step towards making real progress.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or could my child also learn a new skill?
While we love helping students with academic subjects like French, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new craft, you can find a brilliant tutor to help.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How can an online tutor help with French speaking practice?
While every child is different, our data shows that personalised tutoring makes a real impact. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSE students, we often see them improve by up to two grades. The biggest change parents tell us about, however, is their child's newfound confidence.
