About Tony
I help less confident students realise they know more French than they think so they can build on their prior knowledge. I help more confident students achieve the highest grades. I’ve successfully taught thousands of students aged 11-18, and adults, in Manchester and London. Though ‘officially’ retired, I still teach small groups of 14-18 year olds preparing for their GCSE and A level exams at Urmston Grammar School.

I teach all French GCSE skills. Just tell me what you'd like more help with, or want to further improve. I aim to make things you find more challenging, clearer (e.g. verbs and tenses); and to stretch you if that’s your goal. I can tailor unprepared conversation from GCSE reading aloud tasks and photo card discussions to your needs; provide role-play practice and tips; provide pronunciation short cuts; and help you increase your writing, listening and reading marks.
At A level, I’m especially experienced in speaking card practice; tutoring essay writing, including on La Haine and l’Étranger; and giving guidance on great IRP preparation (but as you know, exam regulations don’t allow us to practise your IRP). I also offer Oxbridge MFL interview practice.
I’m happy to work with whichever exam board you use. To make the most of each session, feel free to bring relevant board mark schemes/questions you find hard, unless you’d rather we use some session time to look up exam questions/exam board specs.

Tony is a friend of my parents and we did a few one to one sessions recently. Tony is an excellent tutor, his teaching style is engaging, and he makes learning French fun. One of his best assets is that he always encourages you to challenge yourself, which has helped me improve so much since I started working with him. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking to learn French!
Tony is a fantastic French teacher and having worked with him for more than a decade, I cannot recommend him highly enough. His subject knowledge is excellent and he is one of the most patient, enthusiastic and supportive teachers you could find. His wealth of teaching experience as a French teacher and Head of Languages means that he can tailor teaching to any student and this combination means that you will undoubtedly make progress, and enjoy doing so!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Tony for over 14 years, during which time we worked together at Urmston Grammar School, where he was Head of Languages and led Teaching and Learning across the whole school.
He is an exceptionally experienced and dedicated French teacher, with over 40 years in education.
As a Superprof tutor, he brings a wealth of knowledge, patience, and expertise. His teaching style is highly adaptable, and he consistently tailors his explanations, feedback, and support to meet the individual needs of each student, ensuring they feel confident and motivated.
I particularly remember how supportive and approachable he was with both students and colleagues. As a mentor, he was incredibly kind, generous with his time, and always willing to share practical strategies to improve teaching and learning. His guidance had a lasting impact on my own professional development.
I sincerely recommend him to other Superprof members. His experience, professionalism, and genuine care for student progress make him an outstanding tutor who will help learners achieve their full potential.Tony is an excellent teacher who tutored my daughter. He is very knowledgeable and adapts his lessons perfectly to fit individual needs. I thoroughly recommend him for his kindness and expertise.
