Homeschooling, or No French at School? GCSE and IGCSE French Without the Guesswork
Registering a homeschooled child for GCSE or IGCSE French is confusing, and the speaking exam makes it harder. Many parents come to us after weeks of phoning centres. We prepare your child 1-on-1 with a native-speaker tutor, and we contact the exam centres for you.
Why GCSE French Is Hard to Arrange Outside School
One Wrong Step Can Cost a Year
Choose a board your nearest centre doesn’t run, or miss its booking date, and the next chance may be a year away. And if the speaking exam is left until spring, your child walks into a quarter of their grade unprepared.

Fabulous friendly French support
The support we have received over the last few months has been brilliant. We have had to move our daughter to home schooling to do her GCSEs and having Amelie to help with the French is so reassuring – one less subject to worry about! They are friendly and supportive and clearly know what they are doing. I would definitely recommend them!

GBThe speaking exam was my biggest fear, but my tutor broke it down and made it manageable. We practiced a lot with role-plays, and I ended up getting a 9 in French. I’m so grateful!

My daughter was struggling with her confidence in French speaking.We found Amelie through google. She did an initial thorough assessment and my daughter had her tuition for 2months before her GCSE with Amelie.
Amelie was very supportive, patient and excellent with her tuition.The service was very efficient and really helped my daughter.
My daughter got an 8 in her GCSE and has became more confident speaking and understanding French .

Camille has been fantastic and help my children achieve really good grades – My daughter is year 10 and she got a predicted 9 for year 11 and my son is year 11 – really good results throughout the year. Waiting for GCSE results. Camille is very organised and experienced; focusing on the needs for each child as appropriate – kind, helpful, prepares classes consciously to target what really needs improvement and really positive resources after each lesson. Very experienced as well with the exam board and the exam techniques!
From and admin perspective, Amelie is fantastic as well. Very responsive, organised and flexible if there are challenges that need resolving. We are continuing the tutoring with Camille for my daughter’s GCSE and my son’s A-levels. Thanks for all your help!

GBWe booked lessons just three months before exams, and the progress was incredible. My son went into his GCSEs prepared and came out with a grade 8. Highly recommend.
