Why French is a Key Subject for Ambitious University Applications
French is more than just another language; it's a 'facilitating subject' highly respected by Russell Group universities. It shows admissions tutors that your child has strong analytical and communication skills. Mastering everything from complex verb conjugations to analysing the themes in a Molière play develops a discipline and cultural understanding that helps them stand out, opening up opportunities in fields like international relations, business, and law.

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...

Kirsty B
One step at a time, build your confidence in French
I’m Kirsty, a qualified primary school teacher with three years of experience teaching children from 5 years old up to 11. My favourite thing about teaching is getting to know my pupils to understand what makes them “light up”. In this way, I aim to make my lessons fun and engaging, bringing the content to life in a way that makes each individual want to keep returning each week! There is nothing better than seeing a pupil’s confidence grow over time so they not only engage with the curriculum, but begin to evaluate, question and think outside of the box as their love of learning flourishes. I gaine...

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 ...

asked questions

Can a tutor help my child with their application to a Russell Group university like Newcastle or Durham?
Absolutely. Many of our French tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications. They can help your child refine their personal statement and prepare for any potential interviews, ensuring their passion for French shines through.
My child attends a high-achieving school in Newcastle. Can I find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top grades?
Yes. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their qualifications and experience. Many have helped students from high-performing schools secure the A/A* grades needed for competitive courses. You can message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's that simple.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and professional skills like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, making it easy to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in speaking French?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. The online classroom provides a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors use conversation practice to build fluency and confidence.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What happens in a typical online French lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might start with a quick review of the previous topic, then move on to tackling a specific challenge, like mastering a tricky grammar point or workshopping an essay. Tutors use our interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat to make learning engaging and effective.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. We know our approach works, as 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in the A-Level French curriculum?
Of course. You can filter your search to find tutors who specialise in A-Level French. They will have an in-depth understanding of the exam board's requirements, from the texts your child is studying to the specific format of the speaking and listening exams.
