French Literature Tutors : 1-1 French Literature Preparation

Hi there! My name is Grace and I have just finished a French Literature MSt at Keble College, Oxford, for which I received a Distinction. I also completed
a History and French BA for my undergraduate at Somerville College, Oxford and got a First Class. I’ve been tutoring for several years now so I have lots of experience, and I really enjoy being able to help students wherever I can. I’ve always put my academic studies first, and I know how important it is to do your best in exams; I find it extremely rewarding when I can help students to achieve this. Having got all A*s in GCSE and A-Level, and successfully passed through Oxford’s rigorous admissions process, I know first-hand what is required to do well at all of these stages. I also really enjoy teaching students and hope that my enthusiasm will make their sessions enjoyable – I’ve always seen myself becoming a teacher, and my career plan is to become a university lecturer!

I currently work in a school environment, so I’m DBS checked and safeguarding trained.

After graduating with a Philosophy BA (first class) from King’s College London, I worked in commercial law for one of the world’s leading tech companies for a period of one year, before leaving to pursue my own entrepreneurial career in app development.

LNAT tutoring: I have secured entry to Durham University and King’s College London (among others) for LNAT students, helping them achieve marks of 31+.

French tutoring: I am a native French speaker and obtained A* at A-level French (native speaker exam) as well as A* at GCSE. I have acted as French teacher and curriculum designer to home-schooled students, helping them to achieve A at A-level, as well as securing multiple high-scoring IB and GCSE results.

Legal experience: I have completed mini-pupillages at top commercial law chambers such as Quadrant Chambers and Four New Square, and won several moot court competitions both within King’s College and representing the university on the European stage, all of which has given me extensive academic and professional legal experience.

I am a fourth-year student of Japanese at Oxford University, and a dual native French-British individual. I possess advanced-level proficiency in Japanese & upper-intermediate skills in German. I began learning Japanese on my own before university, and have successfully coached a student who now studies Chinese at Oxford. My interests include Japanese Literature (Modern & Classical), International Relations, and Japanese History and Culture.

Elected the Undergraduate Student Representative for Japanese and Korean at Oxford for two years in a row, I am dedicated to assisting my peers in both academic and personal matters. I also specialise in providing support for Modern Language Oxbridge applications, personal statements, interview techniques, and offer 1 on 1 tutoring in French and Japanese. My goal is to help students achieve their full potential through tailored and productive guidance.

Hi, my name is Joe and I have recently graduated from the University of Cambridge having studied History and Modern Languages (French)! As a History and French student, both literature and language are at the core of my interests. I love all aspects of these subjects and hope to be able to get this passion across to all my students! I have lived and studied history in Paris at the Sorbonne during my university time so I really have experienced these subjects from all angles.

My main aim is to help students achieve their full potential and to feel confident in their studies. I tutor French and History at all levels, as well as Maths up to A-Level standard and Oxbridge prep advice!

Beyond tutoring I love sports and travel – I played tennis and rugby during my time at university and loved this side of my time there! I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together!

Hi, My name is Mona. I am fluent in French and English, I have an MA from the University of St. Andrews in International Relations and an MSc in Infectious Diseases and Medicine from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I have been a professional tutor for 6 years. During this time, I have tutored pupils ranging in age from 5 to 30 years old, and have had particular success with helping them with a wide range of exams, including university applications (eg.University of St. Andrews, Cambridge, LSE and King’s College).

My past work experience include working for Amazon as an associate partner manager and for the CERN in Geneva in medical regulation. I enjoy supporting students of all ages, adapting my lesson plan to their needs and goals. Looking at past exams really help me in identifying gaps we can work on together and plan our lesson around them.

I am a 4th year university student currently studying in Bristol. I am studying Politics and French with the hope to work in the Civil Service or for a NGO. I have just finished my year abroad in Lyon, France where I studied at Université Jean Moulin III for one semester and then worked as an English teaching assistant for the second semester. My year in France not only drastically improved my level of French, but I equally gained valuable skills in the teaching field.
In my spare time I enjoy going on runs and walks to take time out of the busy student life.
Overall, I know how much hard work it takes to attain the grades one dreams of and I would love to help students be successful.
Therefore, I’m passionate about helping people achieve their goals and being able to reach their full potential!

I have just completed an MSt in Modern Languages (French & English) at the University of Oxford, following a BA in French & Philosophy.

I started Sixth Form with a science focus, however quickly fell in love with studying French literature which enabled me to gain a deeper cultural understanding of my French heritage.

Throughout my BA and MSt studies in French, I explored a broad range of early modern and modern French texts and how these sit within the wider cultural, historical and political context. In particular, I am familiar with the works of Molière, Racine, Hugo, Camus, Sartre, Beckett, Ionesco, Marivaux, Beaumarchais, Mérimée, Maupassant, Flaubert, Duras and Djebar, amongst others.

For my undergraduate coursework project, I was awarded the inaugural Clément Olympe Lavanne Prize in 2023 for the best performance in Francophone Literature, with a preference for French Caribbean Literature.

My postgraduate studies spanned three particular areas of research: Beckett’s Poetics of Ignorance; Law and Literature in France from 1450-1700; and Molière’s celebrity status in the 17th century French theatrical landscape.

Having studied arts, humanities and sciences up to IB, I can support with mathematics and science from KS1 to GCSE, as well as French and English Literature up to A-level / IB standard. I achieved 41/45 points for my IB (2019) with a 7 in French, 6 in Chemistry and 6 in Biology at Higher Level; following 12 GCSEs all graded A*-A / 7-9. I am a native French speaker and received extensive translation and essay writing training over the course of my undergraduate studies.

I am happy to help with any university personal statements, support MLAT and interview preparation, and offer general information about the Oxford Modern Languages and Philosophy courses as well as demystify the college system and university life more broadly.

I also love theatre, cinema, dance, music and travelling!
