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...

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
My child goes to The Grove School. Can a tutor help with the specific challenges of the GCSE French course there?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in the AQA and Edexcel curricula used for GCSEs. They can help your child get to grips with the step-up in difficulty, build their confidence for the speaking and writing exams, and work towards the grades they need for the EBacc.
We're hoping my child can go to Shrewsbury Colleges Group or NSCG. Can a tutor help them secure the grades they need?
Yes, that's a brilliant goal. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the GCSE grades required for entry into local colleges, including the key pass in a language for the EBacc qualification that many institutions value.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to teaching GCSE French and how they help build confidence. It’s all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child, and we understand that personality is key. 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 much does an online French tutor 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 someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus entirely on the lesson.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in French?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like French, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of interests! While we're here to help with core subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, learn to play the guitar, or even get support with their university dissertation. There's something for everyone.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly lesson to stay on top of their schoolwork, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You're in complete control.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can chat with them directly through the platform. The biggest sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow and hearing them talk more positively about a subject they once found difficult.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in French?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can find someone who can fit lessons in after school, on weekends, or whenever works for your family.
