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.

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...

I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them. I am seriously thinking about embarking upon a masters in either TESOL or archives and records management before qualifying to become either a teacher of English to foreign speakers or an archivist- both careers interest me greatly. Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

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
My child is hoping to apply to Cardinal Newman College. Can a tutor help them meet the French entry requirements?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific requirements for competitive colleges. They can focus on strengthening the exact areas of the French curriculum your child needs to secure a strong GCSE grade and a confident application.
We're aiming for a top university like Lancaster or Manchester. How can tutoring strengthen my child's application?
A great French A-Level, built on a solid GCSE foundation, is highly valued by top universities. A tutor can help your child develop a deeper understanding of the language and culture, which not only improves grades but also helps them write a compelling personal statement that stands out.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It’s really simple. You can use our filters to find tutors with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, like GCSE or A-Level French. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message them for free to make sure they're the perfect fit before booking.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online French tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child with their French speaking confidence?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. The online classroom provides a safe, private space for your child to practise speaking without the pressure of a full class. Tutors use conversation exercises to build fluency and correct pronunciation gently, which can make a huge difference in their confidence.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a document editor. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the French GCSE, like the writing exam?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can dedicate entire lessons to specific exam components. For the writing exam, they can work with your child on vocabulary, sentence structure, and mastering different tenses to help them write with more flair and accuracy, boosting their final grade.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards the subject, often after just a few sessions.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to provide high-quality, vetted tutors who deliver personalised support. We're here to help your child, not just to pass an exam, but to truly understand and enjoy their learning.
How can a tutor help my child with their French speaking confidence?
