Feedback on the French tutors we work with
"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"
MOTHER OF 13+ FRENCH PUPIL"Tom is absolutely delighted with his A and we are very grateful to his tutor Jill. In first taking on the challenge, Jill was quick to assess the key areas of focus for Tom and developed a tailored approach to improve key aspects of his written, spoken and aural French. Under Jill’s careful tutelage Tom made rapid progress in all areas of the subject and like him, we are delighted with his result. To Jill, our sincerest thanks."

How our A Level French tutoring works
The AS and A Level French tutors that we represent share an expert knowledge of the French language. They are well versed in developing their pupils' French listening, reading, writing and speaking skills and have a track record of supporting students across the full range of French AS/A Level exam boards and can assist students approaching A Levels and university admissions for French.
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 through super curricular learning 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 French 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.
