Jake Y
Welcoming French tutor
I match the lesson’s aims to what the student wants to learn, whether that is to practice for a test, or to brush up on certain points such as conversational questions. I start with new vocabulary or grammatical points, and then practice the new pronunciation. Using reading texts, we can see those words in the context of sentences, and answer questions about the text. Following that, we can ask and answer similar questions to the text, adjusting it in order to give our own answers.I believe that languages are for all, and not just those who learn them the quickest. I will always go at the pace t...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Shrewsbury Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific academic goals. They can focus on strengthening weak areas, mastering exam techniques, and building the confidence your child needs to achieve the grades required for competitive sixth forms.
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. How can a French tutor help?
A strong grade in a facilitating subject like French really strengthens a university application. A tutor can help your child develop a deeper understanding of the subject, which not only boosts their grade but also prepares them for the level of independent study expected at top universities.
How do you ensure tutors are high quality?
We're very selective because we know how important trust is. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check, so you can be sure your child is learning from a friendly, professional, and verified expert.
How much does a French tutor in Shrewsbury cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
How do I choose the right tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child clicks with.
My child has lost their confidence in French. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and supportive environment where your child can build back their self-belief. They'll celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, which makes a huge difference.
What happens in a typical online French lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use it to review homework, practise verb conjugations, or work through past papers together. Each session is tailored to what your child needs most at that moment.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that a weekly session works best to build momentum and keep up with schoolwork, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than French?
Yes! We have expert tutors for over 300 subjects, from core academic topics like Maths and English to hobbies and practical skills like learning the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
What if we don’t get on with our first choice of 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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it is, and the success of our 200,000+ happy students backs that up. Online tutoring offers more flexibility, access to a wider range of specialist tutors from across the UK, and uses interactive tools that make learning engaging and effective.
What happens in a typical online French lesson?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
