David J
Experienced French Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Amelia T
Passionate 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 ...

Claire A
Daughter has been working with Claire for 3 months now for her A Level French. Claire has been amazing and everything is super easy on the app to communicate and change lesson dates when needed. Claire established a good rapport with our daughter from the start. Our daughter provided further glowing feedback: she is ‘low key a normal person’ and ‘helping me improve so much... She’s the first tutor you found that I actually like’.

Suzanne S
I highly recommend Suzanne as a tutor for GCSE French. My daughter went up two grades to achieve a grade 9 with some very focused lessons in the run up to the exams. Suzanne was amazing at building my daughter's enthusiasm and confidence and every lesson was well planned and enjoyable. We were so lucky to find such a supportive and lovey teacher!

Priya is an excellent French tutor and my son really enjoys her classes. She explains everything clearly and makes the lessons interesting and engaging. She is very patient and encouraging, which helps my son feel more confident in learning French. We have noticed a positive improvement in his understanding and interest in the subject. I would definitely recommend Priya to other parents looking for a caring and knowledgeable French tutor.

Sasha W
I would recommend Sasha to help with A Level French without hesitation. She helped my daughter primarily with her speaking and writing exams. Sasha is friendly and approachable, and built a rapport quickly with my daughter, making her feel comfortable and confident! With the speaking exam, Sasha always prepared thorough and insightful questions to practice a ‘mock’ exam, giving her confidence and improving her analytical skills in French. In regards to the writing, Sasha was able to effectively identify which areas needed improvement the most, with constructive feedback. As a result, my daughter achieved an A* and achieved nearly full marks in the writing paper, and we have no doubt that Sasha’s input very much contributed to this. She is a fabulous tutor, thank you Sasha!!!
