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...

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
Can a tutor help my child get the French grade needed for Hartlepool Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades to meet college entry requirements. They can focus on the GCSE French curriculum, targeting weaker areas to help boost your child's final result and strengthen their application.
My child is considering applying to Durham or Newcastle University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. A strong language GCSE can be a real asset on a university application. Our tutors can help your child not only achieve a top grade but also develop a genuine passion for the subject, which shines through in personal statements and interviews.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding the right personality match is just as important as subject expertise.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just let us know. 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 the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can start teaching.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a secure and effective learning space, and all your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in French?
Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor can provide the patient, encouraging support your child needs to rebuild their confidence, ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and start enjoying the subject again.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change you'll likely see first is a boost in your child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning an instrument like the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
How do online lessons work?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they find difficult in French, what they enjoy, and what their goals are. This helps the tutor create a personalised learning plan that's just right for them.
