Focused French Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they take the time to understand how your child learns. By building a real, supportive connection, they can pinpoint exactly what's causing difficulties – whether it's tricky grammar rules or a lack of confidence in speaking – and create a positive environment where it's okay to ask questions.
Every online lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they need to focus on mastering verb conjugations for an upcoming test or practise analysing texts for their written exam, their tutor will adapt the session accordingly. This personalised approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and it’s how we can help boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
With online tutoring, you can forget about rushing to appointments across town. You can find the perfect, background-checked tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that fit comfortably around your family's life.

I am a native speaker of Italian with a degree in European Language and extensive teaching experience. I have been based in Milton Keynes for the past 18 years.

Find a tutor Sasha W
I would recommend Sasha to help with A Level French without hesitation. She helped my daughter primarily with her speaking and writing exams. Sasha is friendly and approachable, and built a rapport quickly with my daughter, making her feel comfortable and confident! With the speaking exam, Sasha always prepared thorough and insightful questions to practice a ‘mock’ exam, giving her confidence and improving her analytical skills in French. In regards to the writing, Sasha was able to effectively identify which areas needed improvement the most, with constructive feedback. As a result, my daughter achieved an A* and achieved nearly full marks in the writing paper, and we have no doubt that Sasha’s input very much contributed to this. She is a fabulous tutor, thank you Sasha!!!

I am very grateful to Catherine for teaching my son French. My son attended a new school at the end of Year 8 and new to French. He managed to catch up with the syllabus after one term. Catherine is kind, warm and friendly, and explains concepts clearly and patiently. My son feels confident going forward in doing French in Year 9. Thank you, Catherine!

Claire D
My lessons with Claire helped me achieve an 8 in my French GCSE, despite previously getting low 7s in my school tests. Claire provided me with a wide range of useful resources, tips and exam techniques, and worked through several past papers with me. Her lessons improved my vocabulary and grammar, which are areas that many students find challenging. I’m grateful for her support and would recommend her as a French tutor to those aiming for similar results.

Rebecca is a fantastic French tutor. She tutored my daughter for A level French - my daughter was sitting on a D grade in year 12 and worked hard with Rebecca and to get an A. Rebecca was patient, organised, encouraging and always thinking of ways my daughter could improve and get better. Her support and kindness and the interest she took in my daughter’s progress was above and beyond expectations. Thank you Rebecca!
