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 competitive course at the University of Leeds or York. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our French tutors are experienced in helping students aiming for Russell Group universities. They can focus on developing the higher-level analytical and essay skills needed to secure top A-Level grades, making your child's application as strong as possible.
With the high standards at local Harrogate schools, my child feels a lot of pressure. How can a tutor help?
We completely understand. A one-to-one tutor can help ease that pressure by creating a calm, supportive learning environment. They can break down difficult topics into manageable steps, build your child's confidence, and give them a sense of control over their studies, which often reduces anxiety.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also filter by experience with specific levels, like GCSE or A-Level, to find someone who understands exactly what your child needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first French tutor?
Your peace of mind is our priority. We have a First Lesson Guarantee, which means 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 do online French tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing notes, and the ability to upload documents like past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is incredibly important to us. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can feel confident you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor specifically help with the French speaking exam?
The speaking exam is often a big worry. One-to-one sessions are perfect for building confidence here. Your child gets a safe space to practise speaking, get instant feedback on their pronunciation and fluency, and work through the specific topics for their exam.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
Every child is different, but consistency is key. Many parents find that weekly lessons help build momentum and confidence. Your tutor will work with you and your child to recommend a plan that suits their specific goals.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we love helping with academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies! From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely on your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after a lesson has been completed. There are no sign-up fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes. After each lesson, the tutor can provide feedback on what they covered and how your child is progressing. This open communication helps you stay informed and see the positive impact tutoring is having.
