Find Your Perfect French Tutor In Cambridge

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.

Bonjour! My name is Daniel Christmas, and I am an undergraduate law student at the University of York. Having achieved an 'A' in A-level French and a very high Grade 9 in GCSE French, I have a strong academic background in the language and a good understanding of what it takes to succeed in French exams. Whether you're aiming to boost your speaking confidence, prepare for your exams or improve your grades, I'd be delighted to help! On top of this, I am CELTA-qualified — the internationally recognised Cambridge certificate in language teaching, the same standard used to train professional language teachers worldwide. This means my lessons aren't just built on knowing French well, but on knowing how to teach it: I use proven techniques like guided discovery, structured staging, and target-language immersion to make sure concepts genuinely stick, rather than just being explained and forgotten. Where many tutors can tell you the rules, I'm trained to help you actually internalise them. As a tennis coach, I worked with young players of different ages and abilities. This experience taught me how to explain concepts clearly and adapt my approach to different abilities and learning styles. I bring that same flexibility and patience to my French tutoring. Every student approaches French differently: some find written work straightforward and freeze up when speaking, whilst others are the opposite. I'll work around your strengths and close the gaps that matter most to you. I believe that one of the most important aspects of tutoring is building a positive relationship with my students. Learning is most effective when you genuinely get on with your tutor, so I strive to be friendly, encouraging and supportive. Through my extracurricular roles as a history society publicity officer, tennis coach, collegiate social secretary, international buddy, and NightSafe volunteer, I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills that I bring to my teaching, where I aim to be friendly and patient. Whether you are aiming for a top grade or want French to feel less daunting, I am here to help. On y va!

I have been studying French and Spanish for over a decade and am currently pursuing Spanish at degree level. My own academic background includes grade 8 (A*) in both French and Spanish at GCSE, an A* in A-Level French, and an A in A-Level Spanish. For the past 9 months, I have been tutoring French and Spanish at GCSE and A-Level across Edexcel GCSE/IGCSE and AQA, with fantastic outcomes. This summer, my students achieved: • GCSE French Foundation – Grade 5 (highest grade possible) • GCSE French Higher – Grade 8 (A*) • A-Level Spanish – Grade A More results are pending, but feedback suggests equally positive performances. I take pride in the progress my students make—whether it’s helping a student secure a solid pass at Foundation level, or pushing a motivated Higher or A-Level student to achieve top grades. I also mentor sixth formers through the personal statement process, with my students receiving 4–5 university offers each. My teaching style: I always begin with a diagnostic assessment to identify strengths and areas for development. From there, I design a clear programme of weekly lessons, exercises, and homework. A big part of excelling in GCSEs and A-Levels is exam readiness, so I make sure my students are fully acclimatised to the papers—walking into the exam hall with confidence and no surprises. Above all, I am passionate about languages and about supporting young people. Whether a student is building confidence from the ground up or striving for the top grades, I adapt my approach to bring out the very best in them.

I have extensive experience in education and tutoring, specializing in creative and language-based learning. As a French teacher at Alliance Française (2022–2023), I designed and delivered engaging lessons using the FLE method, managing groups of up to 15 children and providing tailored feedback to support their learning. At Oasis Nurture (2024), I used art as a tool for emotional resilience, leading therapeutic workshops for underprivileged children, mentoring assistants, and curating an exhibition of their work. Since 2021, I have been a private tutor, offering one-on-one lessons in French, Art History, and Cambridge application preparation. I have successfully guided students through personal statements, interview techniques, and subject-specific knowledge, with one student gaining admission to Cambridge. My current role as creative health and outreach curator at Looking Forward (2024–present) involves designing community-based art programmes to support children's well-being, collaborating with institutions like Whitechapel Gallery and Serpentine Galleries to make art more inclusive and accessible. Additionally, as an education and outreach volunteer at the Whipple Museum (2024), I developed strategies to make complex topics engaging and understandable for the public. Through these roles, I have developed strong teaching, mentoring, and curriculum design skills, with a particular focus on inclusive and creative learning.

Hello! I’m Alexandra, a final-year Business Management student at King’s College London and a friendly, approachable tutor with over 3 years of experience helping students build confidence and reach their academic potential. I am currently studying for my Level I CFA! I graduated from the International Baccalaureate with a score of 39/45, achieving a 7/7 in HL Italian, 7/7 in HL French B, 6/7 in HL Economics, and 6/7s in both SL English Literature and Mathematics. My strong academic background, combined with years of tutoring experience, allows me to support students across a range of subjects — especially languages, humanities, and business-related courses. I’m a native English speaker, fluent in both French and Italian, and I especially enjoy working with language learners to improve their confidence in reading, writing, and speaking. I’ve supported both younger students and peers, and I know how much of a difference a warm, supportive learning space can make. During my IB years, I played semi-professional football, so I understand first-hand how important it is to find the right balance between academics, extracurriculars, and a social life. That experience has shaped how I approach tutoring — with structure, empathy, and a focus on helping students stay motivated and organised. My lessons are always tailored to each student’s needs. I provide a clear plan upfront, keep sessions interactive and practical, and create an environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their own learning style. Outside of tutoring, I still play competitive football and love cheering on AS Roma. I’m also a big fan of movies and cultural conversations — so there’s always something to connect over. If you're looking for a tutor who’s enthusiastic, relatable, and committed to helping students succeed — both academically and personally — I’d love to hear from you.
