Online GCSE French Tutors
A French GCSE tutor would provide guidance and support to students preparing for their French General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations. They would cover various aspects of the French language and culture to help students improve their language skills and perform well in the exam.
Here are some key themes that a French GCSE tutor may typically cover:
- People and lifestyle: Identity and relationships with others, healthy living and lifestyle, education and work.
- Popular culture: Free-time activities, customs, festivals and celebrations and celebrity culture.
- Communication and the world around us: Travel and tourism, media and technology and the environment.
- Grammar.
The goal of a French GCSE tutor is to help students achieve a good level of language proficiency and cultural understanding, enabling them to communicate effectively in French and perform well in their GCSE exams. With personalised instruction and support, students can develop the necessary skills to succeed in their French language studies and exams.
We have qualified online French teachers and tutors with experience at helping pupils with KS3 and GCSE French. Contact us now to discuss your individual requirements for private one to one online tuition.
A-level French Tutors Online
A French A-Level tutor would work with students who are studying French at an advanced level, typically in their final two years of secondary education. A-Level French builds upon the foundation laid during GCSE and delves deeper into the language, culture, and literature of French-speaking countries. The tutor’s role is to help students develop more sophisticated language skills and a deeper understanding of French-speaking societies and literature.
Here are some key themes that a French A-Level tutor may typically teach:
- Social issues and trends: Aspects of French speaking society.
- Political and artistic culture: Artistic culture and aspects of political life in the French-speaking world.
- Grammar: Nouns, articles, adjectives, numerals, adverbs, quantifiers, pronouns, verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, negation, questions, commands, word order, discourse markers, fillers and other constructions.
- Works: Literary texts and films.
- Individual research project.
The goal of a French A-Level tutor is to help students achieve a high level of fluency, cultural awareness, and critical thinking in French. A successful A-Level outcome can open doors to further study, work opportunities, and a deeper connection to French language and culture.
How does Online Tuition Work?
Online tuition operates through our virtual classrooms equipped with digital whiteboards that include audio and video features. The sessions may be recorded at your request, allowing you to revisit the lessons as frequently as needed. Furthermore, after each session, you will receive an email with the complete contents of the whiteboard for your reference. Both the tutor and the student can actively contribute to the whiteboard by writing on it, and additional learning materials can be easily uploaded to the shared learning space. This streamlined approach ensures a highly effective and efficient one-on-one tutoring experience, eliminating the need for the student to take notes during the session.
Both GCSE and A-Level French tutors may address the themes by developing specific skills such as:
- Grammar and Vocabulary.
- Reading and Listening Comprehension.
- Writing Skills.
- Speaking Skills.
- Cultural Awareness.
- Literature Studies.
- Current Affairs.

- We have the ability to provide recordings of our online lessons upon request, so students can watch them back. This helps to embed learning materials and can assist your child in revising topics in between sessions.
- Your online French tutor will provide written feedback after every lesson. This is completely individualised to the learner and will assess their progress towards their goals. This means you, the learner, and your online French tutor, can closely monitor progress.
- We provide customer support (again from a qualified teacher) so if you have any issues or questions about any aspect of your child’s tutoring, we can provide an answer quickly and effectively.

The benefits of online French tuition
Participating in online French tuition brings numerous benefits for students. It grants children the opportunity to delve into their unique learning styles and preferences beyond the confines of a traditional classroom. Our experienced online French tutors offer personalised one-to-one sessions, providing flexibility and adaptability to cater to the individual needs of each student.
Online French tuition fosters the development of independent learning skills, which hold immense value for future educational pursuits and adult life. By supporting students in becoming self-reliant learners, this form of tuition nurtures resilience and confidence. Equipping students with independent study skills not only empowers them to overcome challenges but also instils a sense of control over their learning journey, leading to improved outcomes in school.
Tailored tuition proves particularly advantageous for students with specific learning requirements, such as dyslexia. In tutoring sessions, qualified online French tutors, who are experienced UK teachers, adeptly create personalised support strategies that not only assist in French but also help overcome difficulties in other academic subjects. The tutors adapt their instruction to suit the unique learning profile of each young learner.
Furthermore, online tuition has the power to spark a passion for the subject. Unlike in school, where a range of factors may influence a student’s enjoyment of a lesson, online tutoring provides a dedicated space to explore French with the guidance of an expert. This focused attention encourages students to develop a genuine interest in the subject, positively impacting their overall learning experience.
Moreover, online French tuition supports students in improving their grades, both in classroom assignments and exams. Tutoring sessions incorporate exam practice, helping students prepare effectively for assessments. Tutors provide feedback on specific areas of difficulty and offer revision suggestions, enabling students to practice exam techniques within a supportive environment. This targeted approach enhances students’ academic performance and boosts their confidence.
