Elisabeth I
French Learning Made Fun
I hold a BA Honours Degree in German and French with Spanish as an extra subject, and I also hold a teaching certificate from Germany. Besides, I am a German native speaker and have lived and worked in France, which means that I can provide students with intricacies that you normally only acquire when you live in the foreign country. Teaching languages is my passion as I believe it opens a whole new world for the student, and I feel that I relate well to learners of all ages. I have over 25 years of experience tutoring on a one-to-one basis as well as groups, and in the past, I also taught evening...

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...

Amelia T
Dedicated 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 ...

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.

asked questions

We're aiming for top GCSE grades to meet the standards of schools like RGS. Can we find a tutor with that experience?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in helping students aim for top grades (7-9). You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience with different exam boards and their track record of helping students achieve their goals. You can even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
My child hopes to study at Newcastle University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, a tutor can be a great help. Securing strong A-Level predictions starts with excellent GCSE results. A French tutor can help your child build a solid academic foundation and develop the independent learning skills that are essential for success at a competitive Russell Group university like Newcastle.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's 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 do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. Read their profiles to learn about their teaching style, check out reviews from other parents, and even watch their introductory videos. Many parents also send a message to a few tutors to chat before booking.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child with their French speaking confidence?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. The online classroom provides a safe, private space for your child to practise speaking without feeling self-conscious in front of a whole class. The tutor can provide instant, encouraging feedback to help them improve their pronunciation and fluency.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best, as it provides consistency and allows time to build on what was learned. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor.
Can tutoring really help my child get a grade 7-9 in their French GCSE?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. By providing focused, one-to-one support tailored to your child's exact needs, a tutor can help them overcome challenges and build the skills needed to aim for those top grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music theory?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or explore a new hobby, you can find expert tutors to support their interests and personal development.
How can a tutor help my child with their French speaking confidence?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors are able to offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time that suits your family, and book your first session.
