How much does a French tutor cost in the UK?

Private French tutors in the UK typically charge between £25 and £55 per hour. French has a good supply of tutors — including native speakers and qualified MFL teachers — which keeps rates competitive.

As a rough guide:

• GCSE French: £25–£45/hr
• A-Level French: £32–£55/hr
• Conversation practice / adult French: £20–£40/hr

Native French speakers tend to charge towards the upper end, particularly if they are also qualified teachers or have examining experience. For GCSE and A-Level students, it is worth asking whether your tutor knows the specific exam board — AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas and OCR all use slightly different formats for speaking, reading, listening and writing assessments.

Online French tutoring is particularly effective for language subjects because speaking and listening practice works naturally over video call. It also gives access to native speakers in France and other Francophone countries who are not locally available but can provide authentic language input at very competitive rates.
