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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for sixth form at Northgate or Kesgrave. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A key part of the application is the Attainment 8 score. A private tutor can focus on boosting your child's French GCSE grade, which can significantly strengthen their overall score and make their application more competitive for sought-after places.
We're hoping for a top university like Cambridge or UEA. How important is a language like French?
A strong grade in a modern foreign language is highly valued by top universities. It demonstrates academic breadth, analytical skills, and a global perspective. A tutor can help your child achieve the grades needed to make their university application stand out.

Our tutors can provide invaluable support with exam preparation. They can work through past papers, teach your child how to manage their time effectively, and explain what examiners are looking for in their answers to help them secure every possible mark.
