About Tom
Having achieved 100% in my Leaving Certificate French exam in 2024, I know exactly what examiners are looking for and what makes students stand out and succeed.
Since leaving secondary school, I have continued my study of French in Trinity College Dublin, where I study Law with French (First Class Honors).
For the duration of this academic year, I will be delivering grinds remotely as I am on Erasmus exchange at the University of Strasbourg.
The immersive experience of living and studying abroad has improved my own French and has allowed me to deliver grinds which will ensure that you have a more natural level of French come June.

My grinds aim to prepare students for the Leaving Certificate French exam.
I offer 1:1 remote grinds with a focus on Oral Exam prep, as well as instruction in Grammar, Comprehension, and Composition Writing, all of which are core parts of the Leaving Certificate curriculum.
Students will receive hour-long grinds on a weekly basis, with the option to sign up for additional mock oral exams (15m) any time of the year.
Grammar and Composition notes are included in the price of the grind and will be distributed at the beginning of each week.
As I am a full-time student, I prefer to give grinds on the weekend, but weekday grinds may be accommodated if they are compatible with my college timetable.
Classes are delivered mostly through English, but teaching through French is also possible for a more immersive experience.

Tom really helped me when I was struggling with Leaving Cert French. He was so patient and encouraging, and made everything much easier to understand while helping me build my confidence. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly and supportive French tutor!
Tom and I attended school together and have been best friends since. He is very intelligent and is a sociable and bubbly person who has great skills in helping teach towards others. I would recommend him anyday
Tom is a patient teacher who encourages and motivates you while learning French!! Tom gave me lessons in preparation for my leaving cert French and brought me all the way up from the brink of failing to a high H2. This grade improvement helped me to get into my dream course!!
Tom gave me lessons for my French leaving cert exam, mostly for the spoken exam. At the start, I was an H4/H5 student. When I got my results, I received an H2. Tom insisted I get it rechecked, and to my surprise, I got an H1! Without Tom's help and belief in me, I wouldn't have gotten my course. I couldn't recommend anyone better!
Tom gave me French grinds after I did badly in my French mocks and got a h5. I ended up getting a h1 in French in the actual leaving cert, and he was just a big help.
Not only does he speak French basically like a native, and improved my confidence in spoken and written French generally, he has a great understanding of how to do well in the leaving cert specifically - what the examiner is looking for in written composition, how to effectively answer listening and reading comprehensions.
Would 100% recommmed Tom to anyone wanting to improve their FrenchTom is patient, kind, and committed when it comes to being a teacher. He created a judgment-free zone where you are encouraged to speak French, ask questions, and helped keep me motivated when it came to improving my French. I would definitely recommend him, especially as someone who was initially so shy at speaking French and writing pieces of work. I have gotten a lot more confident in these areas, thanks!
Tom is a great teacher, we had a great time translating Le Schmürz. I highly recommend
Friend from secondary school.
Friendly and supportive approach to learning and teaching. He explains ideas clearly and uses practical demonstrations to ensure you fully understand. He gives confidence and wants peers/students to achieve.
I have firsthand experience as Tom helped navigate me with Leaving Cert Maths and language and provided me with helpful feedback to help me achieve.See more recommendations
