Find Your Perfect A-Level French Tutor

Hi, I’m Iseabhail! I’m currently an undergraduate student at the University of St Andrews studying French, Arabic, and Persian. I achieved A*s in both French and English Literature at A-Level, as well as an 8 in French, and a 9 in English Literature at GCSE. I’ve focused on building a strong academic foundation that is rooted in a deep love for Literature and Modern Languages which allows me to communicate complex ideas clearly. Through my experience as a Class Rep for Persian at university, I advocate for fellow learners and bring leadership and communication directly to my tutoring. My journey began through informal tutoring and mentoring, supporting my sister, her friends, and family friends through their own exams. This experience introduced me to the various styles of teaching required to help students progress and understand different ideas or concepts. I pride myself on adapting my teaching style to fit each individual, ensuring they don’t just ‘learn’ the content, but truly engage with and enjoy it. Whether it’s breaking down a difficult text or mastering new grammar, I use flexible teaching methods tailored to the student’s needs. I understand the dedication and commitment required to excel in the UK exam system and I am dedicated to helping students find their own passion for their subjects, turning ‘difficult’ content into an enjoyable challenge. My goal is to create a comfortable and encouraging environment, where students feel confident to ask questions, engage with the material, and ultimately secure top grades.

I am currently studying French and Italian at Durham University. I am really passionate about teaching students, and having taught English to young French children for two months in Guadeloupe, as well as teaching a wide range of UK based students on the Global Impact initiative, I thoroughly enjoy watching the students I tutor grow in ability and confidence. I prioritise tailoring tutoring sessions to students individually in order to best suit their learning style, creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. Achieving 3 A*s at A Level, and 8 Grade 9s at GCSE, I am committed to helping your child achieve their full potential. Please do contact me with any questions. I look forward to helping your child achieve academic success, whilst also inspiring a passion for learning.

I’m Alanah, I study French and Russian at UCL, with A-levels in Maths, French and Latin. I have a year of tutoring experience, working with children in the age range of 9-18. I enjoy helping students to excel in their studies, help them to achieve their best possible result, as well as boost their academic confidence.

As a social sciences student at Durham University, I am uniquely equipped to combine a holistic approach and a more in-depth approach to my tutoring, depending on the individual learning style of each student. I can tutor students of a wide range of abilities, from beginner to advanced, in French and English Literature, having achieved A*s and 9’s in both subjects at A-Level and GCSE, respectively. I can also tutor English Language up to GCSE standard, having achieved grade 9 when I sat the exam. I graduated from Wycombe Abbey School in 2023, where I obtained twelve 9’s and an 8 in my GCSEs, and four A*s at A-Level. I have done a range of informal tutoring for GCSE and Common Entrance, and have also volunteered as an English Teaching Assistant in a local primary school. From my personal experience of being slightly less confident in certain subjects and from tutoring others, I found I really enjoy helping students achieve their full potential and boosting their confidence, especially in subjects that may not come naturally to them. I am conscious that everyone has their own unique learning style, so I will tailor my lesson plan to each student’s personal aims in order to make sessions engaging and interactive. I have full working proficiency in French, and can provide assistance with all aspects of the exam, including listening, reading, writing and grammar. Having completed several intensive language courses in France, one of my strengths as a French tutor lies in conversation practice - I can therefore also help with the oral exam, including the Independent Research Project, implementing complex sentence structures, presentation technique and using sophisticated vocabulary. While I can tutor for all exam specifications, I will be of particular use in AQA A-Level and AQA GCSE, as these are the exam boards I sat at school. For English Literature, I can cover a wide range of skills such as essay technique, text analysis (play, book, or poem), grammar and language. While I can tutor a wide variety of texts depending on the exam board, I can provide specialised knowledge in the following texts: Hamlet, The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath, The Duchess of Malfi, Paradise Lost, A Streetcar Named Desire, Purple Hibiscus, The Crucible, Jane Eyre, and Romeo and Juliet. I can provide support with a broad range of resources and key skills, especially with the CIE GCSE and the OCR A-Level specifications. For English Language, I can also provide useful resources and support with all aspects of the exam paper, including comprehension, grammar and the extended writing section. As I sat the CIE GCSE exam, I can provide specialised knowledge of this specification.

I’m Luke, an academic scholar and reading Classics at Christ Church , Oxford (first class honours in all years so far). For the past year, I’ve greatly enjoyed tutoring students, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds, supporting them on their journeys to Oxbridge with great success. At Westminster School, I was fortunate to be surrounded by teachers who pushed me to reach my full potential - something I aim to do with every student I teach. I also benefited from first-class university guidance and resources, which I’m now eager to share with my own tutees. While at school, I taught music and English to pupils from neighbouring schools, including several with significant learning difficulties - an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of adapting my teaching to each individual’s needs. I was delighted to be awarded my school's award for exemplary achievement in the humanities in 2024.

My name is Lisa, and I’m a Modern and Medieval Languages (French and German) graduate from the University of Cambridge, currently pursuing an MSc in Financial History at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). With a strong academic foundation in Modern Languages, English, and Economics, I offer personalised, high-quality tutoring for students of all ages and abilities in French, German, Russian, and Economics across GCSE and A-Level curricula. I also teach English (Language and Literature) at all levels and support younger learners preparing for the 11+ and 13+ entrance exams, with a focus on English and verbal reasoning. With 5+ years of tutoring experience, I’m passionate about helping students not only excel academically but also develop confidence, independence, and a genuine interest in their subjects. I take a flexible and student-centred approach, adapting each lesson to suit individual goals, learning styles, and long-term aspirations. Above all, I aim to create a positive learning environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, tackle challenges, and discover their full potential.

Hi, I'm Tommy, a first class Modern Languages graduate (French and Italian) of the University of Cambridge. I am an experienced tutor of French from KS3 to degree level and whilst at school tutored KS3 and GCSE pupils. Having recently been a student, I understand the difficulties faced when learning a language - but equally how rewarding making progress can be. I can share the tips and tricks I used to achieve an A* in GCSE and A-level French and a First in my degree. I am happy to focus sessions on exam preparation, literature and film, conversational French and anything in between. I make lessons fun and work to boost the student’s confidence through practice and encouragement. As a keen Francophile who lived in France for a year, I bring plenty of enthusiasm and nostalgia for the French way of life. I also have experience coaching candidates for the Oxbridge admissions process. I can share my expertise, run mock interviews and offer guidance about personal statements.

Hi, I'm Hugh, a University College Dublin graduate in Mathematics and English (96% GPA in Mathematics), currently studying for an MSc in Actuarial Science at Queen's University Belfast. I've tutored for five years, more than 800 hours across 80+ students, and I currently work with British GCSE and A-Level students online. In my own Leaving Certificate I got six H1s, placing in the 99th percentile nationally, including Irish 95%, French 97% and Spanish 99%. I've spoken Irish since birth and spent a year living and working in Spain and France, and I only started French in my final year of school, so I know how to learn a language fast. I teach Maths, Irish, French and Spanish, and I'm proudest of the big jumps my students have made. An A-Level student averaging a D/E was struggling across at least six topics, but the real gap was manipulating algebraic expressions. We rebuilt that skill first, and he reached an A within three months. An A-Level student, also on a C/B average, reached an A in three months once we fixed how he spotted when to use integration by substitution and how he structured hypothesis tests. My lessons start with a challenging question we'll build towards together. Rather than asking "do you understand?", I ask students to explain the idea back to me as if they were the teacher, which shows quickly what has really sunk in. I look for the root cause of a student's struggles rather than just going over old material, and I've delivered target grade improvements for every student I've taught. I'm patient, encouraging and always keen to make lessons engaging, with games and plenty of practice. Get in touch for a first lesson and we'll work out the best plan for you.

I am graduate with a degree in History and Italian from Oxford University. I feel passionate about education. At Oxford, I studied Italian from scratch, so I know what it is to face up against an educational challenge!! I want to give other students the help and support which wish I had received. I have had experience tutoring across Europe to children of all ages and ability and nationalities. I have worked as a full time live-in tutor for successful families in both Paris and across Italy. I have consistently received positive reviews from my tutees families and can provide glowing references on request. I have received an official qualification in mentoring younger students with the International Leadership and Management Foundation. I also used to have my own network where I provided Oxbridge interview support, all of the people I gave support to received successful offers. I am entirely committed to helping my tutees to achieve the results they want. I have an official mentoring qualification and have an adaptable approach to tutoring and so am able to cater for the needs of all different students - I have taught ages from 4 up to 20 years old! I did A-Levels in History (A*), English Lit (A), and French (A*).
