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...

Roberto F
Dedicated French tutor
I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them. I am seriously thinking about embarking upon a masters in either TESOL or archives and records management before qualifying to become either a teacher of English to foreign speakers or an archivist- both careers interest me greatly. Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

Amelia T
Dedicated French tutor
I’m a tutor because I genuinely love it. I’ve been tutoring since 2016 (one-to-one and small groups), and I’m big on making learning feel less like a punishment and more like, “Oh… I can do this.” I’m patient, upbeat, and a bit of a professional translator of “confusing school wording” into plain English. If a student is anxious, overwhelmed, or convinced they’re “bad” at a subject, I’m the person who will gently prove them wrong — step by step, without judgement, and with a few laughs along the way. Progress matters, but confidence is usually the thing that unlocks it. My academic background ...

Sandrine C
’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 hoping to apply to the University of York. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. A-Level French is a highly-regarded 'facilitating subject' that top universities like the University of York love to see. Our tutors can help your child master the A-Level curriculum and build the analytical skills needed to achieve the top grades that strengthen their university application.
We're aiming for a competitive sixth form in York like Fulford or St Peter's. Can a tutor help?
Yes, they can. Entry to York's best sixth forms is competitive, and strong GCSE grades are essential. A dedicated French tutor can provide the focused support needed to turn a tricky subject into a real strength. In fact, our support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right French tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – whether they need someone patient and encouraging or someone who can challenge them with advanced concepts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first French tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to 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, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in French?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This supportive environment, combined with making real progress, is fantastic for their self-esteem.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the French exam, like the speaking test?
Definitely. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. Your child's tutor can dedicate entire lessons to practising for their speaking exam, refining their accent, and building their confidence until they feel fully prepared.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The key is finding the right tutor who understands your child's needs.
Do you only offer academic subjects like French?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from primary school to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new craft, we can help.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in French?
We understand that life can be hectic. You can easily reschedule lessons by agreeing on a new time with your tutor. Our platform is designed to be flexible to fit around your family's commitments.
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.
