How can a French tutor help?
Whether you are taking French at GCSE, A-Level or IB, or if you are interested in improving your conversational French, we have tutors who can help.
Formal examinations take into account written, oral and listening skills and it's a tall order to master all aspects on your own. Learning a new language can be intimidating; it's not just new vocabulary to memorise but there's getting to grips with grammar too!
Even the most studious of language learners can have a crisis of confidence when it comes to practicing pronunciation.
You will be able to fathom French that much quicker with support and encouragement from our patient tutors.
From immersing yourself in French culture, art and literature to perfecting the pluperfect tense, we have range of tutors who can help.
What French tutors are available at Titanium Tutors?
We provide French tuition for all ages and stages. This can include very young children, sometimes living in a bilingual home, who need more formal tuition to begin reading and writing in French.

For those looking to keep costs down, we offer undergraduate tutors — current students at top universities who are currently studying French. These tutors have outstanding academic credentials and an infectious enthusiasm for their subject, making them excellent study buddies.
At the higher-cost end of the spectrum, we can provide very experienced graduates who have clocked up hundreds or even thousands of hours of teaching experience. Many of these French tutors have PGCEs and/or PhDs. Some also have taught French in the classroom, or have acted as Head of Modern Languages in schools, or have marked or examined for the major exam boards.
What does a French tutor cost?
The cost of a French tutor will be shaped by the tutor's qualifications and experience in terms of private tutoring and/or classroom teaching. Undergraduate students currently either studying French or with native French proficiency sit in the lower price bands, whereas those with a teaching qualification, Heads of Modern Foreign Language Departments and/or examiners will be among the most expensive.
At Titanium Tutors, we offer French tutors at a range of price points - check out our prices here.
Bon Voyage — How French can help you travel the world
by Adeline
When you think of using your French, you probably picture yourself buying a baguette from a boulangerie near the Champs Elysées or the Eiffel Tower in Paris. If not, you may daydream about having a glass of red wine on a terrace in Bordeaux or taking in the sun on the French Riviera. However, French can take you much further away than this!
French is indeed spoken on 5 continents, and is now the fifth most spoken language in the world, according to a recent study by the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. It is ranked behind Chinese, English, Spanish and Arabic. There are now 300 million people who speak French, and the numbers are still growing!
Here are some examples of places you could explore with your French:
The island of Martinique, in the Caribbean, is actually a region of France! Inhabitants often speak Creole in addition to French, but French will definitely allow you to get the best tips from locals about where to swim with turtles and where to get the best seafood.
If you fancy slightly milder temperatures, you might want to head to Québec. You might struggle a bit with the Québec accent at first, but once you are used to it, you will be able to order a poutine in a restaurant (French fries topped with gravy and cheese curds). If you can still walk after this, take a stroll in Old Québec, which is the only fortified city north of Mexico.
If you don’t want to go this far, Marrakesh is only a 3-hour flight away from London. You could stay in a riad (a townhouse with rooms around a garden) and explore the local medina (the old city centre). One of the most visited attractions is also the Jardin Majorelle, created by the painter Jacques Majorelle, and owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé. Speaking French will allow you to get the most of your visit there!
French is also spoken in many central African countries. If you are a nature enthusiast, you’ll love Gabon — use your French to shop for equipment and go and explore the rainforest or savannah.
Last but not least: did you know that London is said to be the sixth biggest French-speaking city? So if you don’t feel like travelling just now, we’re pretty sure you could find a native French speaker near you. Some are even on our books, if you fancy brushing up your conversation skills in preparation for your next trip!
