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...

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,...

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
We're aiming for a top grade to get into a competitive sixth form in Leeds. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the high grades needed for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on specific exam board requirements and advanced topics to help your child feel confident and prepared.
My child is considering the University of Leeds. Can a French tutor help strengthen their application?
Definitely. A strong A-Level grade in French can be a huge asset for applications to Russell Group universities like the University of Leeds. A tutor can help your child master the A-Level curriculum and develop the analytical skills that admissions tutors look for.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and teaching style for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in French?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors can break down difficult topics, like grammar rules or pronunciation, until things click, which makes a huge difference to how your child feels about the subject.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are DBS checked, and we also verify their ID and references. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does a French tutor in Leeds 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 extra costs.
Is Tutorful only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also offer tutors for a wide range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to piano and art, helping them explore new hobbies and passions.
Can we get help with specific GCSE French exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all the major exam boards. You can filter your search for tutors who specialise in your child's specific board to ensure the lessons are perfectly aligned with their exam requirements.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to suit your child's needs.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson arranged in less than a day, providing your child with the support they need without delay.
