Kathy F
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). I would help...

Roberto F
Dedicated French tutor
I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them. I am seriously thinking about embarking upon a masters in either TESOL or archives and records management before qualifying to become either a teacher of English to foreign speakers or an archivist- both careers interest me greatly. Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

Amelia T
Dedicated French tutor
I’m a tutor because I genuinely love it. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 (one-to-one and small groups), and I’m big on making learning feel less like a punishment and more like, “Oh… I can do this.” I’m patient, upbeat, and a bit of a professional translator of “confusing school wording” into plain English. If a student is anxious, overwhelmed, or convinced they’re “bad” at a subject, I’m the person who will gently prove them wrong — step by step, without judgement, and with a few laughs along the way. Progress matters, but confidence is usually the thing that unlocks it. My academic background ...

My son who is in year 8 was really struggling with French so I set about finding a kind, calm and effective tutor to bolster his confidence and to enjoy learning a language. Very happy to say we found just this with Louise. My son enjoys his lessons and is really learning the fundamentals much better than school have taught him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top grade in French at North Halifax Grammar. Can a tutor help them reach a grade 8 or 9?
Absolutely. Many of our French tutors are specialists in helping students target the highest grades. They have deep experience with the exam board specifications and can teach the advanced grammar, vocabulary, and analytical skills your child needs to stand out and secure a top result.
We're worried a weaker French GCSE could affect an application to the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is a common concern we help parents with. A strong grade in a language can significantly strengthen a UCAS application. A tutor can create a focused plan to boost your child's predicted grades and final results, ensuring their French qualification is an asset, not a worry.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello before you book.
How much does a French tutor cost in Halifax?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
My child has lost confidence in French. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics, celebrating small wins, and patiently building your child's self-belief lesson by lesson.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. With 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 your tutors qualified and have they been background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are interviewed and have their ID and qualifications verified. They also undergo a comprehensive background check before they can teach on our platform.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you like. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams, for example. It's completely flexible.
How quickly can we start?
You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them directly to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors have availability within the next few days.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new skill like coding, or explore a creative hobby, we have expert tutors who can help.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we choose?
Life happens, and we understand that. We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without charge.
