Online French tutor
French Tutoring, One-to-One and Online
French from your first words to A-Level fluency, with real speaking practice every session.
Verified tutors · One-to-one sessions · First lesson free · UK, US, UAE & AU time zones
Languages are learned by using them, not by memorising lists — and that is exactly what a group class rarely allows time for. One-to-one French means you speak in every session, get corrected kindly and in real time, and build the confidence that grammar drills alone never quite deliver.
From absolute beginners to GCSE and A-Level students, sessions balance speaking, grammar, listening and writing, matched to your exam board or your personal goal.
French also has a gap that trips up capable students: they can read and write it far better than they can speak it. Closing that gap needs conversation with correction, not more vocabulary lists.

What progress actually looks like
Sessions get you speaking from the first lesson, with gentle correction as you go — because being corrected in the moment is what actually changes how you speak.
Alongside that, we work on the tenses and structures your exam demands, and practise the specific speaking and writing tasks your board sets.

Frequently asked questions
I freeze when I have to speak French. Can you help?+
Yes — speaking confidence is the most common goal, and one-to-one gives you a patient partner to practise with every session.
Do you prepare for GCSE and A-Level French?+
Yes, for the major boards, covering speaking, writing, listening and reading.
Can complete beginners start with you?+
Absolutely — we start from the very beginning and build steadily.
How much does French tutoring cost?+
Plans start at $100 per month for eight 60-minute one-to-one sessions, with a free first demo.
My child is good at written French but panics when speaking. Can that be fixed?+
Yes, and quickly — it is usually confidence rather than ability. Regular, low-stakes conversation with a patient tutor who corrects kindly is the entire cure, and most students notice a difference within a few weeks.
