’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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Westcliff High and aiming for a grade 8/9 in French. Can a tutor really help at that level?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in helping high-achieving students push for the very top grades. They can focus on the nuanced skills required for a grade 8 or 9, such as advanced exam technique, sophisticated vocabulary, and flawless grammatical accuracy, which can be the deciding factor in a competitive school environment.
We're worried a 7 in GCSE French could weaken a Russell Group university application. How can a tutor help?
We understand that concern completely. A specialist French tutor can help your child refine their skills to turn a strong grade 7 into an exceptional 8 or 9. They focus on exam-specific strategies and advanced concepts that elevate your child's performance, ensuring their UCAS application is as strong as it can possibly be.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to see if they're a good fit.
How much do online French tutors in Southend-on-Sea cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it's just like being in the same room. Your child can work through grammar exercises or practice papers with their tutor in real-time.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and carry out thorough background checks. In fact, we're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join Tutorful.
My child's confidence in speaking French is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. A one-to-one environment is 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 gently building confidence and fluency, which is often key to improving grades.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the French GCSE, like the writing exam?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A tutor can dedicate entire sessions to mastering essay structure, improving vocabulary, and perfecting the grammar needed to impress examiners in the writing paper.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Does Tutorful only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we cover all school subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels and beyond, we also have amazing tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, like playing the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Life gets busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Most tutors are very flexible and just ask for 12 or 24 hours' notice to reschedule a session without charge, but you can check their individual cancellation policy on their profile.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
