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 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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a competitive sixth form like NSCG. Can a tutor help my child get the right French grade?
Yes, that's exactly what our tutors are here for. They specialise in helping students meet the entry requirements for their chosen colleges. By focusing on the specific areas of the French GCSE your child finds tricky, they can help them build the skills and confidence to secure the grades they need for their next step.
My child hopes to study at Keele University. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with their university applications. A strong grade in a language like French can make a UCAS application stand out, and a tutor can help your child build the subject knowledge and confidence needed to achieve that. They can also provide support with personal statements.
How can a tutor help my child with their French speaking exam?
The speaking exam can be a big source of anxiety, and one-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to prepare. In a private lesson, your child gets a safe space to practise speaking, make mistakes, and build fluency without the pressure of a classroom. Tutors can run mock exams, help with pronunciation, and build your child's confidence in holding a conversation.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 I pick the right French tutor for my child?
You can start by using our search filters to find tutors with experience in the right area, for example, GCSE French. You can then read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking – it's a great way to get a feel for their approach.
How do you ensure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed an enhanced background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring your child is learning with a trusted and high-quality professional.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in French?
Yes, rebuilding confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor celebrates small wins, patiently explains difficult concepts, and tailors their teaching style to make your child feel understood and capable. Seeing their own progress week by week is a huge confidence booster.
How do online lessons work? What do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing tools to make learning engaging and effective.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point. This provides consistency and allows your child to build a strong relationship with their tutor. However, it's completely flexible, and you can arrange sessions to fit your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like guitar or coding too?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have talented tutors who can teach music, coding, new languages, and a wide range of other hobbies and skills.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
