Bonjour!:)I am a native French speaker and a fully qualified teacher with 26 years experience of teaching in schools and privately. I am also a GCSE examiner each year and I used to be a AS level examiner for AQA too. I teach the right accent: this is part of how you can become a confident speaker and an efficient listener.I also explain how verbs and grammar work and help you practice with relevant, interesting resources.It's easier to learn if you understand the rules and the tricks. You then become more confident and try more and memorize better.I use various teaching methods according to each...

Sandrine C
’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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're worried a weak French GCSE will affect our child's sixth form and university chances. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern for parents in Essex. A tutor provides targeted support to strengthen your child's performance. They can focus on specific areas of the GCSE syllabus, from grammar to speaking, to boost their final grade, strengthen their EBacc profile, and make their applications to sixth forms and universities like the University of Essex more competitive.
My child is aiming for a competitive Essex grammar school. Can a tutor provide specific support?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for entry into specific schools. You can find tutors who understand the requirements for schools like King Edward VI Grammar School (KEGS) and can tailor sessions to build the core French skills and confidence your child needs.
How do I choose the best French tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
How much do online French tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a 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 does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in French?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors can break down difficult topics, like tricky grammar rules, and celebrate small wins, which helps build your child's self-belief over time.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check before they can teach on our platform.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Our standard lesson length is 45 minutes, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus and making steady progress. You can discuss scheduling and frequency directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for your child.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! While we support thousands of students with academic subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and professional skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language just for fun.
Can we get help with specific things like exam technique?
Yes, absolutely. Tutors are brilliant at focusing on specific skills. Whether your child needs to practise their speaking for an oral exam or learn how to structure essays for their written papers, a tutor can tailor sessions to improve their exam technique and time management.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in French?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest immediate benefit parents notice is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their learning.
