Focused French Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
The right tutor is more than just a teacher; they're a mentor who understands how to bring out the best in your child. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best. They take the time to get to know your child's learning style, pinpointing exactly where they need help — whether that's building confidence for the speaking exam or getting to grips with complex grammar.
Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child. Instead of trying to keep up in a busy classroom, they get the focused attention they need to make real progress. If they're struggling with essay structure for the writing paper, their tutor can dedicate the whole session to it. This tailored approach is why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by two.
Fitting extra support into a busy family schedule can be tough. Online tutoring makes it easy. You can find and message tutors from your home in Southampton and schedule lessons at times that work for you, without worrying about travel.

Hello, I’m Roger Wills.I teach French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin and Classical Civilisation to both adults and school-age learners.I describe myself as a High Impact Educational Coach because my aim is not simply to teach a subject. My aim is to help people make the greatest possible progress by focusing on the things that matter most.Over more than thirty years in education, I have learned that most learners are capable of more than they often believe. When progress stalls, it is rarely because somebody lacks ability. More often, something is getting in the way.Before I decide what to t...

Frankie N
I was looking for a tutor to help me focus on a specific revision skill for my French A-level mock, namely summary writing. Frankie mentioned that students did not ordinarily ask to practise summaries but he was very well prepared with materials tailored to my needs. He guided me through the process step by step and provided examples across a wide range of topics, which helped build my confidence and improve my technique. We also spent one session focusing on French tenses, which was a useful refresher.
Frankie was flexible in accommodating my schedule (I only had 5 sessions squeezed in the run-up to my mock exam). He was always prepared, knowledgeable and happy to tailor the sessions to suit my needs. Ideal for anyone looking for focused, effective support with French A-level revision.

Valerie A
Valerie is an absolutely amazing teacher - she is so good at explaining things in a way which I was able to understand and was also so kind and patient with me! Her lessons felt structured but still very personal and adapted specifically so I could get the best out of my lessons!
She was also really organised and always got in touch if/when a lesson needed to be rearranged as soon as possible and gave us plenty of choice and flexibility with when I had my lessons so that it would suit me and fit my needs.
I really enjoyed my French classes with her and I would 100% recommend.

Shaafia S
After previously having a bad experience with another tutor, Shaafia really has helped me at such last minute. She was able to adapt the lessons to help with any weaker areas that I had. I felt more and more confident with each lesson and could see the progress I was making being reflected in class as well. I only had lessons with Shaafia for 3 months as she supported me through the A-level exam period, but I have really learnt so much from her. I would 100% recommend her to anybody!
