Why Strong French Skills Matter for an Oxford Student
For a child aiming for a top university, French is more than just another GCSE or A-Level. It shows admissions tutors they have a global perspective and a curiosity about the world. Whether they're analysing French literature or practising conversational skills for a trip abroad, learning a language develops critical thinking and communication. These are the exact skills that Russell Group universities, including the University of Oxford, look for in their applicants, opening doors to a huge range of degree courses and future careers.

Enthusiastic (and patient) tutor of French Tutor for all levels
Hi I have always loved French and have a natural flair and feel for it, so, naturally, I went on to study it atUniversity.

My family and I have now returned to the UKafter more than 12 years of living and working in Paris. In fact, both my children were born in Paris. I am keen to maintain their level in French so regularly tutor...

Sandrine C
We found Sandrine on Tutorful to help my daughter with her French GSCE speaking and listening exam. Sandrine has been excellent! She is always well-prepared for the lessons and has given my daughter so much advice and confidence. I can even go so far as to say that my daughter enjoys her sessions with Sandrine as she finds them so useful. The Tutorful platform is also extremely user-friendly. I can't recommend both Sandrine and Tutorful enough.

Catherine C
Catherine is an excellent teacher who has been very helpful in improving both my spoken and written French. I am a second year university student studying French and Catherine has been a great help in making my language even more advanced and fluent. She has assisted me in constructing a presentation for a French oral exam, which requires a high level of academic French. Alongside this we have spoken about a wide range of complex subjects, during which Catherine has corrected and explains any grammatical issues I might have. Lessons are enjoyable and comprehensive, would definitely recommend!

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.
