Passing an exam is not the only reason to learn French. A good grasp of the language will change your holiday experience forever! French is spoken in 29 different countries worldwide and has retained its importance in schools despite the rise of Spanish. Many of our teachers are native French speakers and can support French at all levels, including just conversational, and can provide high-quality tuition for Primary and Junior levels, as well as prepare children towards 11+, 13+, Common Entrance or for GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A‑Level Examinations, across all the major Examination Boards.
We also offer foreign language tuition in Chinese, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
We also offer tuition in English as a Foreign Language (EFL).
The GCSE French exam assesses listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills in French. It is divided into two tiers: Foundation (grades 1-5) and Higher (grades 4-9). The syllabus includes themes like identity and culture, local and global areas of interest, and future studies and employment. Each skill is tested through specific tasks, such as responding to spoken and written French, writing essays, and engaging in spoken conversations. Preparation involves extensive practice in all four areas, focusing on vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension.
The A-Level French exam is designed to develop advanced skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking French. It includes themes like social issues and trends, political and artistic culture, and grammar. The assessment comprises three papers: Paper 1 focuses on listening, reading, and writing, Paper 2 on writing, and Paper 3 on speaking. The exam aims to foster an in-depth understanding of French-speaking cultures and enhance communication skills in complex contexts.
