What Can a Tutor Help With?

• Speaking Practice: Many students freeze up in the speaking exam. A tutor can role-play real past questions with you. For example:
  • “Parle-moi de ta routine quotidienne.” (June 2022)
  • “Décris un film que tu as vu récemment.” (November 2021)
• Listening Strategies: You’ll work through actual past paper recordings and transcripts, like those from AQA 2023, learning how to pick out key information and understand native-speed French.
• Writing Techniques: Learn how to structure your answer for maximum marks. For instance, in a past paper writing task you might be asked:
  • “Tu passes une journée dans une ville française. Raconte ce que tu as fait.” (Foundation Tier, 2022)
  • You’ll practice how to hit all the criteria—using varied tenses, opinions, and linking phrases like cependant, à mon avis, and j’ai trouvé que...
• Reading Comprehension: Decode common traps and practice with excerpts from previous exams, such as:
  • “Quel est l’avantage de faire du bénévolat selon l’auteur ?” (Higher Tier, June 2023)

Practice Makes Perfect

The key to success in French is consistent, focused practice. The more you immerse yourself in the types of tasks that appear on the exam, the more confident and fluent you’ll become. Your tutor will help you:

• Review your weakest areas
• Set up a realistic revision plan
• Use past papers effectively, not just passively
