It can be worrying when you see your child start to struggle in a subject, especially in a high-achieving school environment like in Ilkley.

The Right French Support to Help Your Child Thrive
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective—only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed, so you can feel confident you’re choosing from the UK's best. The right tutor will take the time to understand your child's specific challenges, whether that’s mastering tricky verb conjugations or building the confidence to speak aloud, and create a supportive learning partnership.
Because every lesson is one-to-one, it’s completely tailored to your child's needs. If they need to spend extra time on grammar rules that were rushed in class, their tutor can do that. If they need to practise for an upcoming oral exam, the whole session can be dedicated to it. This personalised approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade—it’s all about focusing on the areas where they need the most help.
Online tutoring fits easily into your family’s life. There’s no need to worry about travel; all your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection. You can schedule lessons for evenings or weekends, whatever works around your commitments. Join the 200,000+ happy students who have found the perfect tutor to help them achieve their goals.

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...

Rebecca B
About a year ago I asked for Rebecca's help for my son. At the time he was in year 10 and had been teaching himself French for Duke of Edinburgh silver. He asked if he could do GCSE French in year 11. We found Rebecca who gave an honest assessment and plan and has been amazing in making his dream come true. I cannot recommend her highly enough. My son has really enjoyed working with her.

Peter H
Excellent Tutor:
My son had an absolutely brilliant lesson with Peter, really pleased. My son is currently revising for his French GCSE speaking exam.
Peter knew exactly what the Edexcel exam entailed, covered a mock, gave him lots of tips. I wasn't expecting feedback, but he very kindly gave me a summary of my son's progress and where to focus. He also very kindly corrected some answers my son had written.
Highly recommend Peter as a tutor, he's brilliant.

Catherine C
Catherine is an excellent teacher who has been very helpful in improving both my spoken and written French. I am a second year university student studying French and Catherine has been a great help in making my language even more advanced and fluent. She has assisted me in constructing a presentation for a French oral exam, which requires a high level of academic French. Alongside this we have spoken about a wide range of complex subjects, during which Catherine has corrected and explains any grammatical issues I might have. Lessons are enjoyable and comprehensive, would definitely recommend!
