That's it, you've decided to learn French! You've started on your own with apps, podcasts and YouTube channels. That's great, you've made progress but you're feeling stuck. You've reached the point when you want to hire a tutor to help you overcome the blockages, motivate you and give you a framework in which to work.
What Makes a Great French Tutor?
A great French tutor goes beyond just teaching grammar and vocabulary—they adapt their lessons to your unique needs and goals. With over a decade of experience teaching all levels, I specialize in helping students learn French for pleasure, professional purposes, or certifications like DELF and DALF.
My lessons are highly personalized, focusing on your learning style and interests to make your journey enjoyable and effective. I also incorporate cultural insights, such as current trends, everyday expressions, and historical context, ensuring you not only speak French but also understand its rich culture.
Does a French Tutor Need a Teaching Degree?
While a teaching degree can be helpful, the most important qualities in a tutor are experience, adaptability, and the ability to make lessons engaging and productive. As someone who has worked with students from diverse backgrounds and goals, I’ve developed strategies to meet various needs, whether you're mastering conversational French, preparing for an exam, or advancing professionally. I use immersive techniques, prioritizing teaching in French while minimizing English or Spanish to help you think and communicate naturally in the language.
Here's what my students say about learning French with me
Can I Learn French for Free?
Yes, learning French for free is possible, but it requires discipline, consistency, and access to the right resources. You can use apps, YouTube videos, podcasts, and public-domain books to get started. However, free resources often lack structure and personalized guidance.
That’s where I can help. I teach online via Zoom, use Google Drive to share resources, and even provide voice note feedback on WhatsApp for additional practice. Combining my guidance with self-study can accelerate your progress, keep you motivated, and make learning French a rewarding experience.
