About Henry

I am a French student at the University of Oxford with a strong academic background in the subject, having achieved an A* at A level and a grade 9 at GCSE, as well as strong results in the DELF exams.

When I first started studying French in year 9, I had a complete block with the language and begged my school to let me drop it. But since I was forced to take a language (like many students across the country) I resolved to at least try and enjoy it, even if I thought I wasn't going perform very well in my exams. Through my own study, I fostered a genuine interest in the subject, and it ended up becoming the subject I performed the best in- securing full marks in 2/3 A level papers- and what I would choose to study at university. Because of this experience, I understand how frustrating language-learning can feel when grammar, speaking or essay-writing do not immediately click. I enjoy helping students move past that stage and realise that French can become much more manageable, and even enjoyable, with the right explanations, practice and exam technique.

I also have professional tutoring experience, having worked with students across different ages and abilities in both in-person and online settings. This has taught me how important it is to adapt lessons to each student’s confidence, goals and learning style. I want my lessons to be supportive, structured and practical, helping students not only improve their marks but also feel more confident using the language.

A typical lesson lasts one hour. I start by chatting to the student to understand how they best learn to ascertain which techniques will keep them engaged with the lesson and will facilitate a productive session- an often neglected step which my previous tutoring experience has taught me to value. Then, I will usually begin by identifying the student’s main difficulty or target area, then move into focused practice, clear explanation and exam-style application.

For speaking lessons, this might involve pronunciation, spontaneous conversation, IRP preparation, topic questions and strategies for developing more sophisticated answers. For writing and literature lessons, I focus on explaining key complex structures and vocabulary which can be applied to achieve top marks in writing exams (and, for A level students, how to craft essay structures and arguments in fluent, high-level French).

At A level, I was successful in securing full marks in both the speaking and writing/literature components. The aim of my lessons is to foster a genuine passion for the subject for pupils who feel a little disillusioned and stuck with the language as I did- or at the very least, to ensure they are able to perform to the very best of their abilities. As such, I am willing to share some of my own resources/notes which helped me achieve these grades. I also have professional tutoring experience, having worked with students across different ages and abilities, including in both in-person and online settings.

My lessons are aimed at GCSE and A-level French students who want to improve their confidence, accuracy and exam performance. I can support students with grammar, translation, speaking, writing (including essays for A level students), and general exam technique (which can be particularly tricky for this subject.)

I have also achieved high marks of 80+ in both the DELF B1 and DELF B2 exams, which I sat before taking GCSE French. I am therefore also happy to provide support for students preparing for DELF qualifications.
