From Confusion To Calm, One Lesson At A Time.
Our tutors build fluency and exam technique together — so students not only understand French grammar, but can speak spontaneously and write with the range of tenses and vocabulary that examiners reward.
Step 1
Pinpoint the gaps
We start with recent marks, confidence blockers, and the exact exam board so sessions feel personal from lesson one.
Step 2
Teach the mark scheme
Tutors connect concepts to examiner language, worked examples, and the habits that turn knowledge into marks.
Step 3
Track the lift
Parents see what changed after each session: topics covered, next steps, and the grade trajectory we are building toward.
What we cover
A Syllabus Map Students Can Actually Follow.
Break the specification into manageable topics, then build confidence from the first concept to exam-ready application.
Everyday Life & Personal Identity
Start hereFamily, relationships, daily routine, home and local area, and describing yourself — the foundation vocabulary tested across every paper and the speaking role-play.
School & Future Plans
School life, subjects and opinions, further education, career choices, and ambitions — a rich source of writing prompts and conversation topics.
Free Time & Leisure
Hobbies, sport, media, holidays, and social activities. Students learn to give and justify opinions using varied connectives and comparatives.
Travel, Tourism & the Wider World
Holidays, transport, directions, weather, and life in French-speaking countries — including cultural awareness of the Francophone world.
The Environment & Global Issues
Environmental problems, healthy living, and social issues. Higher-tier content that rewards the conditional, subjunctive, and abstract vocabulary.
Grammar & Tenses
The present, perfect, imperfect, future, and conditional, plus reflexive verbs, negatives, and pronouns — the accuracy that separates Grade 6 from Grade 9.
Speaking Skills
Role-plays, photo cards, and general conversation. We rehearse pronunciation, fluency, and unprepared responses so students stay calm under exam conditions.
Writing Skills
Short messages, structured responses, and extended writing. Students master paragraph structure, opinion phrases, and using a range of tenses to hit top mark bands.

Where Students Struggle And How We Fix It.
1Freezing in the speaking exam+
We run mock speaking assessments every few weeks — role-plays, photo cards, and conversation — with instant feedback on fluency and pronunciation. Students build a bank of ready phrases so they never stall on an unexpected question.
2Losing marks on tenses and accuracy+
Grammar is taught in context, not from tables. We drill the perfect, imperfect, future, and conditional through real exam-style sentences, so students use three or more tenses accurately in every extended answer.
3Understanding fast native listening+
We train the ear with authentic-speed audio, teaching students to predict content, catch key words, and not panic when they miss a phrase. Answer-anticipation technique means fewer careless comprehension errors.

Quick questions
FAQs About IGCSE French
Helpful answers about exam boards, syllabus topics, tutor matching and lesson support.
What is the difference between Cambridge 0520 and Edexcel 4FR1 French?
Cambridge IGCSE French (0520) uses four separate papers covering listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Edexcel International GCSE French (4FR1) has two written papers — Listening and Understanding, and Reading and Writing — with speaking assessed as an optional endorsement. We tutor both and tailor technique to whichever board your school follows.
How is the IGCSE French speaking exam assessed?
For Cambridge 0520 the speaking test includes role-plays, a topic (photo card) discussion, and general conversation, marked for communication, pronunciation, and language range. We run regular mock orals with recorded feedback so students build fluency and confidence before the real assessment.
My child struggles with French tenses — can you help?
Yes, this is one of our most common requests. We teach the present, perfect, imperfect, future, and conditional in context through exam-style sentences rather than rote tables, so students learn to use several tenses accurately — the key to reaching the top writing mark bands.
Do you help with the listening paper?
Absolutely. We practise with authentic-speed audio and teach answer-anticipation technique — predicting likely content, catching key words, and staying composed when a phrase is missed. Students learn to secure the marks they can hear rather than panicking over the ones they can't.
Is IGCSE French good preparation for A-Level?
Yes. The grammar foundation, essay structure, and Francophone cultural awareness built at IGCSE map directly onto A-Level French. Students who reach Grade 7 or above are well prepared to progress to A-Level French or the IB Diploma language courses.
