Louise G
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. Very happy to say we found just this with Louise. My son enjoys his lessons and is really learning the fundamentals much better than school have taught him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a competitive sixth form like Westminster. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for entry into highly competitive schools and sixth forms. They can focus on the specific areas of the French curriculum your child needs to master to build a strong application and perform well in any entrance exams.
My child feels behind their peers in French. Can a tutor help them catch up?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. A one-to-one setting provides a safe, supportive space for your child to build confidence away from the pressure of the classroom. The tutor can go over topics at your child's pace until they feel completely comfortable.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, such as GCSE or A-Level French. We recommend watching their introductory videos and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How much do online French tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so there's a wide range of prices to suit different budgets. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, with no hidden costs or fees.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check or equivalent and provide professional references. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What if we don't like the first lesson?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help my child with their French speaking confidence?
Definitely. One-to-one lessons are a fantastic way for your child to practise speaking French without feeling self-conscious. The tutor can help with pronunciation, fluency, and conversational skills, which is often difficult to get enough practice with in a large class.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the personalised attention of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Do you only offer school subjects?
Not at all! While we support students across all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky in French, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed way to build a rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
What if we don't like the first lesson?
Your tutor will provide feedback after each lesson and you can discuss your child's progress with them at any time. Progress isn't just about test scores; it's also about seeing your child grow in confidence, ask more questions, and feel more positive about learning French.
