French Tutor in Kensington & Chelsea, Notting Hill and Earl’s Court

Private French Lessons in W8, W10, W11, SW3 & SW10

My French tutoring builds language skills, confidence, and curiosity through patient guidance and clear instruction. I adapt my teaching to suit each learner’s pace and goals — whether it’s mastering grammar, improving pronunciation, or developing conversational fluency. From basic vocabulary to advanced sentence structure, I help students make consistent progress and enjoy learning French in a relaxed, supportive environment.

I offer private French tuition across Kensington, North Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Earl’s Court, helping students improve their grammar, pronunciation and confidence in speaking French.

With over 23 years of tutoring experience, lessons are structured to support steady progress.

French pronunciation can be particularly challenging because of silent letters and nasal sounds, so lessons include regular speaking practice alongside grammar work.

Achieving Greater Fluency and Strong Academic Performance in French

French presents challenges not only in grammar but in using the language naturally and confidently. I help students strengthen both their technical accuracy and their ability to express themselves more fluently. This suits students aiming for strong academic outcomes as well as those who want to feel more confident using French beyond exams.

Parent Testimonial

Mathew is an excellent tutor who helped my son with his Maths and French studies. He quickly assessed my sons needs for the upcoming common entrance exams and identified and addressed the specific areas where he was struggling and created a learning plan which has helped him considerably in both subjects. He is also very organised, setting questions to be completed before the next visit and tackling all the key learning points. Throughout, he gave constructive feedback on how the tutoring was progressing and what my son needed to do. My son was very grateful for the help Mathew provided and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced tutor to help their son or daughter
