French: More Than Just a GCSE, It's a Path to Top Universities
For ambitious students in York, a strong grade in French is a powerful asset. It’s what’s known as a 'facilitating subject' – one that is highly respected by leading universities because it demonstrates excellent analytical and communication skills. Mastering French isn't just about learning verb conjugations or vocabulary; it’s about developing a deeper understanding of language and culture. These are the skills that will help your child’s university application stand out, whether they're aiming for the University of York or another top institution.

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...

Catherine C
Catherine is an excellent teacher who has been very helpful in improving both my spoken and written French. I am a second year university student studying French and Catherine has been a great help in making my language even more advanced and fluent. She has assisted me in constructing a presentation for a French oral exam, which requires a high level of academic French. Alongside this we have spoken about a wide range of complex subjects, during which Catherine has corrected and explains any grammatical issues I might have. Lessons are enjoyable and comprehensive, would definitely recommend!
