The Right French Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals

Finding the right person to support your child is so important. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our background-checked French tutors are experts not just in their subject, but in getting to know how your child learns. They'll quickly identify whether it's verb conjugations causing trouble or if they need help analysing texts for their exams, and they'll create a plan to build on your child's strengths. Every one-to-one session is designed entirely around your child. If they need to spend a whole lesson practising for their speaking exam, that's what they'll do. If they're struggling with a specific piece of homework, their tutor will patiently work through it with them. This personalised approach is why so many of the 200,000+ students who've used Tutorful have found success and a new love for learning. Because the lessons are online, you can forget about rushing to and from appointments. You can find the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that fit around your family's life. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident that you're making the right choice for your child's education.

Kathy F
Creative French tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

My son who is in year 8 was really struggling with French so I set about finding a kind, calm and effective tutor to bolster his confidence and to enjoy learning a language.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to Stockton Sixth Form or Bede College. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. A strong GCSE French grade is a key component of the EBacc, which can really strengthen your child's application. Our tutors can focus specifically on the GCSE syllabus to help boost their final grade and make their college application as competitive as possible.

We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University. How important is French?

For competitive universities like Durham and Newcastle, a strong grade in a modern foreign language like French can make a UCAS application stand out. It demonstrates a valuable academic skill and a broader cultural awareness that admissions tutors often look for.

How do I pick the right French tutor for my child?

It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can even send them a message before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning style.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right fit is essential 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.

How much does an online French tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can filter by price to find someone who fits your budget, and there are no contracts or hidden fees. You simply pay as you go.

How does online tutoring work?

All our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked and have their qualifications verified, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Can a tutor help my child build confidence in French?

Definitely. For many children, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, patient space for them to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief and their grades.

Can my child get help with specific topics, like grammar or speaking practice?

Yes. The beauty of one-to-one tuition is that every lesson is tailored to what your child needs most. Whether it's nailing the subjunctive, preparing for their speaking exam, or understanding a specific text, their tutor will focus on the areas where they need the most support.

Do you only offer academic subjects like French?

While we have tutors for all core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or singing.

How long will it take to see my child's grades improve?

Every child learns at a different pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The consistent, personalised support of a tutor helps build knowledge and confidence week by week, leading to real, noticeable progress.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Yes, it's designed to fit around your family. You can schedule lessons for evenings, weekends, or during school holidays – whatever works best for you. There's no travel time involved, making it a really convenient way to get your child the support they need.
