Kathy F
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...

Amelia T
Dedicated French tutor
I’m a tutor because I genuinely love it. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 (one-to-one and small groups), and I’m big on making learning feel less like a punishment and more like, “Oh… I can do this.” I’m patient, upbeat, and a bit of a professional translator of “confusing school wording” into plain English. If a student is anxious, overwhelmed, or convinced they’re “bad” at a subject, I’m the person who will gently prove them wrong — step by step, without judgement, and with a few laughs along the way. Progress matters, but confidence is usually the thing that unlocks it. My academic background ...

Sandrine C
’ve had a really great experience learning French with Sandrine. She listens to my needs and adapts lessons to suit what I want to work on, which helps a lot. She’s supportive, patient, and never makes me feel like I’m not good enough, which has really built my confidence. I’d definitely recommend her, especially for A-level French students.

Lauren is a very diligent and attentive tutor. She makes sure you are comfortable and is always letting you know that she is able to help.

Genevieve M
Genevieve is a fantastic tutor. She is extremely engaging to learn from, explaining everything very patiently and clearly, and she has a really good sense of humour. I’m particularly impressed by the effort she puts in to prepare extra learning materials for me between classes based on the specifics of what I struggled with in the previous lesson. I really didn’t expect that level of additional work from her, it’s so thoughtful and helpful. I intend to be learning French up to conversational fluency so I need many, many hours of teaching, and I am therefore very glad I chose Genevieve to deliver them as she makes the time fly by.

Brilliant French tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends Ripon Grammar School. Can a tutor help them aim for a grade 8 or 9 in French?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in helping students achieve the highest grades. They can focus on the specific exam board your child is studying, breaking down the marking criteria for a grade 8/9 and building the advanced skills and exam techniques needed to secure it.
We're worried that without a top grade in French, my child's Russell Group university application will be weaker. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a common concern we help parents with. A tutor can help your child not only achieve a high grade but also develop a deeper passion for the subject. This can shine through in their personal statement and interviews, strengthening their application for the most competitive courses.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have to say about them. Many tutors also have an introductory video to give you a feel for their personality. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How much does a French tutor in Ripon cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and level of expertise, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. This allows your child and their tutor to work through everything from verb tables to past papers just as they would in person.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
My child's confidence in French is really low. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and seeing their own progress helps them feel much more positive about the subject.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is ideal for making steady progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary through to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. So whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding, or get into digital art, we can help.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it's even more effective. Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. Plus, with features like lesson recordings, your child can revisit tricky topics whenever they need to, which is a huge help for revision.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
You can get started very quickly. Many parents find and book the perfect tutor within 24 hours. Simply search for your subject, message a few tutors to check their availability, and you can book your first lesson straight away.
