What is French?

Passing an exam is not the only reason to learn French. A good grasp of the language will change your holiday experience forever! French is spoken in 29 different countries worldwide and has retained its importance in schools despite the rise of Spanish. Many of our teachers are native French speakers and can support French at all levels, including just conversational, and can provide high-quality tuition for Primary and Junior levels, as well as prepare children towards 11+, 13+, Common Entrance or for GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A‑Level Examinations, across all the major Examination Boards.

We also offer foreign language tuition in Chinese, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

We also offer tuition in English as a Foreign Language (EFL).

GCSE French Tuition

The GCSE French exam assesses listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills in French. It is divided into two tiers: Foundation (grades 1-5) and Higher (grades 4-9). The syllabus includes themes like identity and culture, local and global areas of interest, and future studies and employment. Each skill is tested through specific tasks, such as responding to spoken and written French, writing essays, and engaging in spoken conversations. Preparation involves extensive practice in all four areas, focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension.

GCSE French Past Papers
A-Level French Tuition

The A-Level French exam is designed to develop advanced skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking French. It includes themes like social issues and trends, political and artistic culture, and grammar. The assessment comprises three papers: Paper 1 focuses on listening, reading, and writing, Paper 2 on writing, and Paper 3 on speaking. The exam aims to foster an in-depth understanding of French-speaking cultures and enhance communication skills in complex contexts.

A-Level French Past Papers

Tuition with a qualified French teacher at your home costs from £46.00 ph. Online tuition with a qualified French teacher costs from £40.00 ph. Create your own small tuition group and French tuition costs from £17.50 ph.

Because we only ever work with qualified and experienced French teachers, you will always get a highly experienced teacher who is safe, reliable and up to speed with the current curriculum and exam requirements. There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our French teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a French tutor coming to your home to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the French tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the French tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the French tutor is required to travel to your home. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your French tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your French tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of French tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group French tuition depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
