Lina H
Professional and inspiring French and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Hi I have always loved French and have a natural flair and feel for it, so, naturally, I went on to study it atUniversity.

My child attends a competitive school in Hackney. Can a tutor help them keep up?
Absolutely. Many parents in Hackney use our tutors to provide extra support for children in demanding academic environments. A tutor can help consolidate what your child learns in class, build their confidence, and give them a competitive edge, ensuring they don't fall behind their peers.
We're aiming for a top Russell Group university. Can a tutor help my child's French stand out?
Yes, they can. Our tutors, many of whom are graduates from top universities themselves, can help your child achieve the high grades needed for competitive courses. They can also work on developing a deeper, more analytical understanding of the language that will make their university application much stronger.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
