Charlotte R

Giving French tuition that je ne sais quoi

For over 8 years, I have worked with, and currently work with students of a wide range of ages, levels, and abilities, to achieve their goals. I have excellent experience with AQA, Edexcel, OCR/CIE & Eduqas exam boards. From my own experience I think it is important to follow the tutee's needs, and work on those first. I always try to follow the student's lead and tailor sessions as much as possible. For all students I will always try to provide a balanced well-rounded session with a main theme or objective for the session.However, I do like to let the lesson flow and follow your learning speed...

Héloïse R

Enthusiastic French tutor

Hello! I am currently a student at the University of Cambridge, where I have just finished my second year studying BA Classics. I sat my A-Levels in 2023, where I achieved 5 A*s in French, History, Latin, Classical Greek and an EPQ, and sat my GCSEs in 2021, where I achieved 12 9s. Sitting these exams recently means I am familiar with the rubrics and specifications of these exams, and am able to tailor lessons to these accordingly. I am offering tutoring in Latin and Classical Greek up to A-Level, and French up to GCSE. I have taken all these exams myself, and understand how difficult it can be...

We had a great experience with Peter. He was very well prepared and extremely professional throughout the lesson. My son really enjoyed it, as the session was highly interactive and engaging.

Lauren S

My daughter has been abroad for 8 years and come back to the UK being 2 years behind in French (KS3), so I was looking for a teacher that could help catch her up with the basics, give her confidence, with resources and strategies to help her catch up. Lauren was absolutely amazing! Her calm gentle approach was great in getting her more confident using the language. Her structured lessons, which were in line with the KS3 curriculum, helped her pick up vocabulary, grammar and basic conversation quickly and with ease. Lauren ensures understanding before she moves on to the next topic and can give homework if you want it. My daughter was able to excel in just a few short weeks. I would absolutely recommend Lauren for any students having a bit of trouble with French or wanting to consolidate their learning!

Rebecca B

Rebecca is not only a lovely, caring and patient person but an incredible tutor who clearly shows so much care for each and every one of her students. I started lessons with Rebecca due to immense anxiety about my GCSE French orals. I was getting 5s and 6s in French and in the 5 weeks leading up to my GCSE's I managed to get an 8 in my GCSE French which was beyond my predicted grade and my belief! Her approach to revising, immense patience and support made me so much more confident in the Language (not only for my exams but for even my trip to France this summer) and thats so much more than I could ask for. if you are looking for a GCSE French tutor Rebecca is the way to go!! Merci!
