Hugo S
Enthusiastic and experienced French tutor
Hi! I’m Hugo, I recently graduated with a masters in social anthropology and before that, a bachelors in geography with proficiency in advanced French.

I am thus preparing to apply for a PhD in anthropology.I have been frequently inspired by my fieldwork, which for my masters dissertation involved spending a month working with biodynamic gardeners to learn about their spiritual cosmology. I find cultural diversity, even in something as simple as growing vegetables, remarkable a...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to St Ives School. Can a tutor help them specifically with their French GCSE?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum and can tailor sessions to the specific exam board your child's school uses. They can help with everything from exam technique and revision strategies to building confidence for the speaking and listening tests.
We're hoping for A-Levels at Penwith College. Can a French tutor support this goal?
Yes, securing a strong GCSE grade in French can definitely strengthen your child's A-Level application. A tutor can help your child aim for the grades they need, building a solid foundation of knowledge that will serve them well as they move on to college.
How can an online tutor help my child with French speaking if we're in Cornwall?
This is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. It provides a safe, one-to-one space for your child to practise speaking with a fluent French speaker regularly. This consistent practice is key to building fluency and confidence, overcoming any geographical disadvantage.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can talk to them first to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first French tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we verify their ID and references. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much do online French tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor breaks down difficult topics into manageable steps, your child starts to experience small wins. This builds momentum and self-belief, showing them that they really are capable of succeeding.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more lessons in the run-up to an exam. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like French?
Not at all. While we have experts for core subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby, such as playing the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
How much do online French tutors cost?
