Who this is for
British families in France split between international sections of French schools, dedicated British schools in Paris and the south, and full immersion in the French system. Pupils in the French system who want UK qualifications typically sit IGCSEs as private candidates or in a small number of accredited centres.
Why families in France come to us
- Pupils in the French system sitting IGCSE English as an additional qualification
- Learning UK mark-scheme expectations after training in French dissertation structure
- Maintaining written English at academic level for children schooled in French
- A-Level support for students applying to UK universities from France
Qualifications we support
Cambridge IGCSE and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE for Key Stage 4, A-Levels at sixth form. Pupils in the French system carry strong analytical training but often need to learn the very different expectations of a UK mark scheme.

- Pearson Edexcel International GCSE
- A-Level

Time zones and scheduling
France is UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer — always one hour ahead of the UK.
French school days run long, so 18:00–20:30 local time is the realistic window for most families.
Sessions are booked as a fixed weekly slot wherever possible, so the appointment becomes part of the week rather than something renegotiated every Sunday. If a school trip or a family holiday gets in the way, the slot can be moved.
How the sessions work
- Tell us the school, board and year group. That is what determines the right tutor — not a general subject label.
- Free 15-minute discovery call. We check the match before you pay for anything.
- Live sessions in LoftClass. Our own virtual classroom, built for teaching rather than adapted from business video-conferencing: shared whiteboard, document sharing, recordings.
- A short written summary after each session so parents in a different time zone still know what was covered and what to practise.

Tell us your child's age, curriculum, country and local availability and we'll match you with the right UK-based teacher.
Who teaches the sessions
Every tutor is a UK-qualified, DBS-checked teacher with classroom experience of the specification they teach. We do not recruit undergraduates, and we do not claim accreditations, awards or partnerships we do not hold. Learning Loft is a UK company; all tuition is delivered online from the UK.
