This page is for a specific situation: a Surrey student whose French mark has dropped and who needs one-to-one help with the course they are actually enrolled in. That is a narrower job than learning French in general, and it calls for different work — following the teacher's unit plan, preparing for the next oral assessment, and recovering marks on the things school French actually grades.
School French is assessed in a way that catches students out. A child can hold a reasonable conversation and still lose heavily on written accents, verb agreement and dictées, because the marking rewards precision rather than communication. We work on whichever half is costing the marks.
Speaking assessments cause more anxiety than any other part of the course, and they are the part students practise least — usually because rehearsing out loud requires an audience willing to listen and correct.
That is straightforward to fix in a one-to-one session. We rehearse the format the teacher uses, work on pronunciation and fluency under mild pressure, and get the student used to speaking imperfectly without freezing. Most of the improvement here comes from repetition rather than new knowledge.
Sessions follow the class rather than a separate syllabus. That means the vocabulary list for this unit, the assignment due next week, and the test that just came back marked — because a returned assessment shows exactly where the marks are leaking.
It also means a parent can see the connection between tutoring and the report card, instead of paying for lessons that run in parallel to the course and hope the two eventually meet.
The free consultation helps us understand the student’s current challenges, goals and course requirements so we can recommend an appropriate tutoring plan. It is an assessment and planning conversation, not a full tutoring lesson.
Have questions? We've answered the most common questions students and parents ask before enrolling.
Very common. School French grades written accuracy heavily — verb endings, agreement, accents — and a student who communicates comfortably can still lose a lot of marks there. The reverse also happens: strong written work and a poor speaking mark. We find out which half is costing you before doing anything else.
Yes, that is how we prefer to work. Bring the unit outline, the vocabulary lists and any returned assessments. Sessions built on the actual course move a mark faster than a general French curriculum running alongside it.
Our French classes cover learning the language broadly, including small groups and adult learners starting from scratch. This is narrower: private, one-to-one academic support for a school student following a specific course, aimed at their coursework and their marks.
Yes, plenty of students book a short block ahead of a speaking assessment rather than ongoing lessons. Rehearsing the format out loud with correction is usually what is missing, and a few focused sessions can make a visible difference.
