1-Initial Assessment of Your Current Level

We begin with a preliminary, non-committal 20 minute Zoom session focused on evaluating your current level, discussing your goals and deciding on an appropriate learning path together.

We carefully select a tutor who fits your personality, background and linguistic needs.

2-Communicative Approach to Build up Your Confidence

The main difference between private or small-groups tutoring is the level of interaction with your tutor. The smaller the group, the more you will be challenged on your speaking skills and have wider opportunities to express yourself.

Our private and small-group French lessons focus on conversation and informal interactions.

Spoken French is a key point for us. From ordering food in a restaurant for beginners to being able to converse about different topics of interest for more advanced levels, conversational French is a priority for anyone who wants to be fluent.  

Our stimulating French lessons will help to overcome the hesitancy you sometimes feel while speaking with native speakers. A positive and encouraging learning environment is a key factor of our efficient learning process.
