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.

Find a tutor Catherine C
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.
