Find Your Perfect GCSE French Tutor

Hello! I’m Cee, a first year undergraduate philosophy student at UCL. Having very recently navigated GCSEs and A-levels myself (and come out the other side successfully ), I know how intense exams can be. No subject is enjoyable when it doesn’t make sense, so my aim is to break down those difficult concepts with you so that you can not only achieve the best grades you can, but also enjoy the process!

Bonjour! I'm currently pursuing an integrated master's degree in Arabic with Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter, complemented by a minor in Philosophy. My tutoring experience over the past year has been incredibly rewarding, especially seeing the direct impact of shared knowledge on my students' growth. At A-Level, I achieved A*AA in German, Maths, and Chemistry. Beyond these, I am proficient in Swedish, English, German, and French, with a foundational understanding of Spanish and Dutch. My focus in teaching is to ensure students grasp the underlying concepts and principles of their subjects, fostering critical thinking and a genuine interest in learning. In addition to online tutoring, I have taught French, English, and Maths in the Sultanate of Oman and Zambia for over 6 months. These experiences have highlighted the importance of adaptability and personalised tutoring, enabling me to meet the various needs and learning styles of students. I am committed to being patient, empathetic, and adaptable in my teaching approach, aiming to create a supportive and motivating environment for students to learn at their pace. If you're seeking a tutor dedicated to providing a positive and engaging learning experience, I'm here to support your child’s educational journey.

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.

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 am a second-year undergraduate student at the University of Cambridge, studying History and French. Having worked as a teaching assistant for 2 years, I am experienced in tailoring sessions to meet specific requirements and learning styles. My aim is to make exams, tests and syllabi work for you, so that you reach your academic goals!

Hello! I'm Fauresthia, I am a fully qualified secondary MFL( Modern Foreign Languages) teacher of French and Spanish. With a burning passion to inspire the next generation to embrace and discover why it is important to learn a new language. My academic journey began by being a native French speaker and receiving an A* at GCSE and an A at A-Level. I attended Manchester Metropolitan University for my undergraduate to learn French with Spanish. I was able to deepen my understanding of the cultural history and what the issues in society were in both countries via films, books and the topic of multiculturalism. In my 3rd year of university I went on my year aboard to completely immerse myself into both cultures. First I went to Reims, France for 5 months, where I taught English to primary children and toddlers at an English private school, it was a reveting experience. Later to Murcia, Spain for 6 months to the University of Murcia, where I studied travel and tourism, film studies and also additional Spanish language classes. I loved my time in Murcia, funnily enough I just didn't want to come back. I must say my year aboard truly allowed me to acquire various new skills as well as reflect on all the opportunities ahead in the field of work. Which led to me choosing to study once more after my last year of university. I decided to study a PGCE MFL French with Spanish for a year and graduated at King's College London. These achievements not only reflect my grasp of both languages but portraits my dedication and desire to speak these languages fluently as well as teaching them. Alongside my teaching, I have gained over a year of experience as a tutor. Having had the privilege of supporting students from diverse backgrounds but also GCSE and KS3 students all aiming high. My versatile teaching style is tailor-made to fit each student's unique learning style. Focusing on all 4 mfl skills (listening and reading, speaking and writing), as well as vocabulary and grammar. All in all ensuring their comfort, engagement, and evidently their success. As a tutor and teacher, my mission is to not only to encourage academic improvement but also to inspire a genuine love for learning a new language in my students. I am able to create a safe environment in which students will always feel empowered, motivated, and excited to reach their full potential. I am looking forward to collaborating with you and your child through their academic journey!

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.
