Polly is amazing! My daughter is doing Alevel French and was really struggling with confidence when speaking. She’s had 3 lessons with Polly and it’s already made such a difference. I would highly recommend. 🥰

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. She always tailors the lesson to your specific needs and is able to pivot or reteach certain subjects. She has been a great tutor and I definitely recommend her to anyone :)

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.

Chantal L
Chantal has a unique way of unlocking potential and instilling passion in learning. My son had lost his way but after a few lessons already feels reinvigorated, which is showing in his attitude and his work. It is rare to find such a knowledgable, positive and inspirational tutor.

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.
Are the tutors familiar with the SQA curriculum for National 5 and Higher French?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers or examiners with deep knowledge of the SQA system. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience with the National 5 and Higher French courses, ensuring you find someone who understands exactly what's required.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of St Andrews. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, they can. While a tutor's main focus is the subject itself, their guidance is invaluable for achieving the top grades needed for competitive applications. They can help your child develop the skills and confidence to write a strong personal statement and prepare for any potential interviews.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Think about what your child responds to – do they need someone patient and encouraging, or someone who can challenge them with advanced concepts?
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have 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.
How much does online French tutoring cost in Scotland?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your budget.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in speaking French?
One-to-one lessons are a safe, supportive space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors are brilliant at building confidence through patient conversation, helping your child improve their pronunciation, fluency, and overall self-belief for their oral exam.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an ID check and a background check, before they can start teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the exam, like the writing portfolio?
Definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. The lessons can be tailored to focus on specific areas your child finds tricky, whether it's structuring an essay for their portfolio, mastering verb tenses, or practising for the listening paper.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new craft, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have weekly lessons throughout the school year to build their skills and confidence over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, we know life can be busy. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can reschedule or cancel lessons with your tutor, usually with 24 hours' notice, giving you the flexibility you need. It’s best to confirm your tutor’s specific cancellation policy with them.
