We know how much pressure there is for your child to do well, especially with the high standards set by schools like The Grammar School at Leeds and Roundhay School.

Focused French Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection. By getting to know your child’s learning style and specific goals, they can create a supportive space where it’s okay to ask questions. We help you find that perfect match from our expert tutors—we only accept 1 in 8 who apply, and all are background-checked, so you know your child is in safe hands.
Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child. If they’re finding verb conjugations difficult or need to practise their conversational skills for an oral exam, their tutor will focus right there. This targeted approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us. For GCSEs, that can mean an improvement of up to two grades, making a real difference to their future options.
Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With online tutoring, there’s no travel involved. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that fits around your family's life. It’s a simple, flexible way to give them the support they need, right when they need it.

Amelia T
Passionate 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 ...

Find a tutor Catherine C
I am very grateful to Catherine for teaching my son French. My son attended a new school at the end of Year 8 and new to French. He managed to catch up with the syllabus after one term. Catherine is kind, warm and friendly, and explains concepts clearly and patiently. My son feels confident going forward in doing French in Year 9. Thank you, Catherine!

Esther J
Esther has been a fantastic French tutor for my daughter. She is professional, patient, reliable and always punctual. After each lesson, she leaves helpful notes and feedback, which makes it easy to follow my daughter's progress.
With Esther's support and guidance, my daughter achieved a Grade 9 in GCSE French, which we are absolutely delighted with. We really appreciate all the time and effort Esther has put into helping her prepare for her GCSE.
I would highly recommend Esther to anyone looking for a professional and supportive French tutor.

Claire D
My lessons with Claire helped me achieve an 8 in my French GCSE, despite previously getting low 7s in my school tests. Claire provided me with a wide range of useful resources, tips and exam techniques, and worked through several past papers with me. Her lessons improved my vocabulary and grammar, which are areas that many students find challenging. I’m grateful for her support and would recommend her as a French tutor to those aiming for similar results.

Rebecca was patient, organised, encouraging and always thinking of ways my daughter could improve and get better. Her support and kindness and the interest she took in my daughter’s progress was above and beyond expectations. Thank you Rebecca!
