Resitting A-Level French, or Studying It Without a School?

You can’t sit A-Level French without the speaking exam, and you can’t prepare it alone. We give resit candidates, homeschooled students and students without A-Level French at their sixth form the support a school would. That means a native-speaker tutor 1-on-1 online, and a team that contacts exam centres for you.

Homeschooling A-Level French

Essays, translation and a long oral, with nobody to mark the work or play the examiner.

No A-Level French at Your Sixth Form

You want to keep French, but there’s no class to join and nobody to enter you.

Where A-Level Private Candidates Get Stuck

The speaking exam, with the Individual Research Project, is worth 30% of the A-Level. It’s also the hardest part to prepare alone. Many centres that take private candidates won’t run a language speaking test. So students spend months on essays, then find out in January that no centre near them will examine their speaking.

Fantastic A level tutition

My daughter and I are so pleased we found french-exams tutoring to help in the months before her A level exam. Amelie really took the time to get to know what support she really wanted and matched her with Camille. Camille was amazing – my daughter really enjoyed the sessions and even after a long day studying found the sessions hugely rewarding and incredibly positive for building her confidence both in speaking and in essay planning. Camille worked really hard with her on all aspects of the speaking exam and my daughter went into the exam feeling confident. We are really hopeful of a good result in August and would highly recommend this tuition. Communication from both Camille and Amelie was always timely and helpful and they were always both available to support when needed. Thank you so much!
