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!

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.

Hi! My name is Luke, and I am a tutor of English, French & Music. I'm an fourth year MA student at the University of Glasgow, and speak fluent French having prior experience of living, working and studying in both Québec and France. I'm also a published and award-winning poet, and use my love for creative writing to guide my students in their own work. I have over 4 years of tutoring experience with Explore Learning and also privately. I offer a holistic approach to tutoring. You're free bring your own work to lessons, or equally I can offer my own materials to help you. During our free 15-minute trial call and first few lessons, I'll establish the learning needs and style of the student, and put together a longer-term study plan that'll help to achieve the desired results! I've devoted equally as much time to my own education as I have to others. At A-level, I received 3 A*s and have since been passionate about sharing my tips & tricks for exam success with my students. I'm an avid musician, I play guitar and write about musicology in my free time - and I also have a background in linguistics, which I studied at the Sorbonne in Paris during an exchange year. It'd be a pleasure to share my passion and knowledge with you to help you achieve your true potential in your own personal goals!

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.

With experience across multiple exam systems and subjects, I know how to tailor lessons to each student’s learning style. My teaching is patient, structured, and student-centred, focused on building confidence as well as knowledge. Having worked with a range of different learners, I know that great results come from feeling supported and motivated. I love helping students push beyond what they think they can do and reach their full potential, whether that’s improving grades, mastering tricky topics, or preparing for university.

Hi! I'm Jacob, and I've just graduated with a German and Philosophy degree from Oxford. I have 3 years of tutoring experience. I am particularly proud of working with a student for two years to get the grades to get into medical school. I conducted my A-levels solely through self-learning and online tutoring, so I am deeply familiar with the process. I received 3A*s for A-level and came second in the Trinity College Cambridge Philosophy Essay competition. Online tutoring was a method that worked for me, and I'm sure I can help make it work for you! I love watching students grow in confidence and ability, and I am flexible in my approach to reflect the needs of the student. I look forward to meeting you!
