Focused French Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they're getting stuck, they can create a supportive space to ask questions they might not ask in class. We take the guesswork out of finding that person for you. All our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every 60-minute session is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with listening comprehension or need to practise for their speaking exam, their tutor can dedicate the entire lesson to it. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. It’s about making real, measurable progress where it matters most. With our online classroom, lessons can happen whenever and wherever suits your family. There’s no need to travel after a long school day. You can find the perfect tutor and schedule sessions that fit around your life. It’s simple, flexible, and trusted by the parents of over 200,000 happy students.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Highfields School. Can a tutor help them specifically with the French GCSE curriculum and the EBacc requirement?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced GCSE teachers and examiners. They can tailor lessons to the specific curriculum your child is following, focusing on the key areas needed to secure a high grade and meet the EBacc standard.
We're hoping our child will apply to universities like Sheffield or Nottingham. Can a tutor support this ambition?
Yes. A French tutor can help your child achieve the grades needed for entry into top universities. For older students, our tutors can also provide support with A-Level choices, personal statements, and even university interview practice to help them stand out.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child clicks with.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have a 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 do online French lessons cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed and has their ID and background checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in French?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of getting something wrong in front of a class. Tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can build their self-belief, one step at a time.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to learn from the comfort of home. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can we get help with specific things like French oral exams?
Yes, definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored. Your child's tutor can dedicate sessions to specific challenges, whether that's practising conversational French, improving pronunciation, or preparing for exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one 60-minute lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can easily schedule more sessions during school holidays or in the run-up to exams.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child feel more confident and capable in their studies.
