Feedback on the French tutors we work with
"My daughter got on well with Jean-Ignace and said that he made things seem less complicated. I was impressed with his professional approach (he has already sent some sample questions that my daughter hadn’t seen before) and was pleased that my daughter seemed so comfortable with him."
Mother of A Level French student"I just wanted to take a few moments to express to you how absolutely delighted we were with our French tutor, Lou. We were so pleased with our son's progress under her tutelage. She is lovely and warm to speak to, and utterly focused and clear in her teaching. We could hear, week by week, our son's growing confidence in his ability to speak French, and, by the end, he was doing very well indeed in his mock Common Entrance French Exams. Lou prepared him brilliantly! Thank you so very much for sending Lou our way. I shall be delighted to recommend Lou and Keystone Tutors to everyone"

How our French tutoring works
Keystone Tutors can provide French tuition tailored to specific exams, for 13+ Common Entrance, GCSE French, IGCSE French - Foreign Language, IB French, A Level French, and Oxford MLAT / Cambridge Modern and Medieval Languages Admissions Assessment.
The tutors we work with help to improve exam performance by making use of past French papers, reinforcing core learning, developing revision techniques, and helping students to push the boundaries of their knowledge of French to differentiate themselves from fellow students.
Many of the French tutors we introduce to clients have studied French to degree level at the UK's top universities. They are often bilingual, either being native French speakers or having spent considerable time living in France.

Finding the right tutor for each child
We go the extra mile to match a great tutor with your child and ensure a perfect fit.
When you request a tutor through Keystone we spend a significant amount of time learning about your circumstances. Priding ourselves on how well we know our tutors’ specialist strengths, we ensure that we put forward the very best tutor for your requirements.
During the first session the tutor starts by assessing where the child is at, their academic ability, their strengths and perceived weaknesses. Tutors will then devise a programme tailored to the specific circumstances of the student and their exam board.
After the first lesson, one of our dedicated client managers will contact you to find out how the lesson went. Our client managers are always available at the end of the phone and they are frequently praised for their efficiency, dedication and responsiveness.
