ONLINE LESSONS ONLY - Hello my name is Inès, I'm 30 years old, I'm from Belgium and I've been working as a language teacher for 4 years now. I studied translation at the Catholic University of Louvain, in Belgium (I got my master's degree in 2019). Then I moved to Australia for 2 years where I worked as an online teacher. When I came back to my home country in 2022, I got my teacher's certification in English, Spanish and French from the Free University of Brussels. I now work in a school in Brussels where I teach English and French as a second language and I also work online with my Australian students. Learning a language can seem like a challenge, I know it because I've been where you are, learning Spanish, English and Dutch. Nonetheless, with the right methods, learning can seem more like a game. That's exactly how I imagine my classes. Grammar is of course important, but to practice languages, games can be very useful. For example, to practice questions and physical features, we can play "Guess who" together. I really emphasize on dynamism in my classes while having fun. As I studied linguistics during my studies, I'll have lots of funny facts to share with you and would be happy to explain a bit more baout the culture of my country. I always adapt my classes to my students' needs and I don't require you to buy a book. J'espère te rencontrer bientôt ! Inès

French from Britain (the little one) in France, I have been raised there, just 2 hours by train from Paris. I grew up in a family of 7 children. People person, and very active, I decided to live abroad when I was 25 years old. I started with London, flew to Ireland, and finally landed in Melbourne over a 4-year period. In all my jobs, I could actively engage with mentoring and tutoring in French and in English. So, to make sure you get the most of each session, we will start with your personal reason(s) to learn French, therefore, I can adapt each conversation to develop a specific need. We can talk, read, exchange about a certain topic, a specific exam, focus on a grammar point or do conversations. I will be available outside our face to face session by email and or Skype so we can maintain the communication in-between sessions. I will offer you resources to support your French journey and we may also do activities outdoors if you feel comfortable about it and if it supports your French goals/needs. The idea is to learn while having fun (most efficient method to retain information); so we could do activities you like to connect it with your passion for French.

Bonjour! I’m Sonia, a native French speaker from the beautiful island of Mauritius, and I’m here to help you learn French in a fun, supportive, and effective way. Having grown up speaking French natively, I bring fluency and a deep cultural understanding of the language. I’ve also successfully participated in Alliance Française examinations and Cambridge A-levels examinations (French and French literature), which means I’m well-versed in the standards and expectations of formal French language learning. French can feel a little tricky at first (those verbs and accents!), but with the right support, it becomes much more manageable—and even enjoyable. Each lesson will be tailor made to meet the needs of the student. With languages consistency is key! I specialise in real-life communication, pronunciation, and interactive exercises designed to help you achieve your specific goals. I’ll help you stay motivated and track your progress so you always know how far you've come.

Learn French online or offline with the best private French tutors. Private French lessons will be held by TUTOROO tutors directly and custom-made for your private learning needs. Learn French effectively with the help of a native speaking French tutor. Have fun learning a new language!
TUTOROO is a website that connects you with private, in-person language tutors. We now work with 350,000 tutors in more than 160 cities. We match genuine native speakers with people who want to enhance their conversational skills in any language at their preferred place and time.
The most difficult part in learning a foreign language is the practice, which can be acquired only by conversing with a native speaker. For people willing to practice foreign languages, it is difficult to find a private language tutor who lives or works in their city. TUTOROO has been designed to provide a frictionless experience while connecting tutors to students, for private in-person language lessons.
"I've studied with a native tutor for two months because I'm traveling this week. These classes helped me a lot! I loved TUTOROO and am already recommending it to my friends."
- Mark Bariche
"I found the perfect tutor for me, I became able to speak in another language and enjoyed meeting new people from other cultures. I've improved my language skills, without traveling abroad. Thanks TUTOROO!"

"Speaking in another language is no longer difficult with the help of a teacher. Getting corrections for your mistakes helps you continue to improve in each lesson."

Investing time and resources in learning French with a private French tutor is always a great decision in order to master la langue de Molière. Although there are various French lessons to choose from, mostly online, platforms often don't give learners the utmost attention they need to learn French.
Thanks to private French lessons, learners have tailored learning fit for their learning needs. Here are the top benefits of taking private French lessons.
One of the most widely spoken languages in the world is the French language. It originated from France, as this is where the language derived its name. Getting to know how many countries speak French can boost your will to take French lessons.
Like Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, French is a romance language. From the Gallo-Romance dialect of Northern France, French replaced Latin in 1539 to be the official language of France. This declaration was made by François I.
About 29 countries in the world employ French as their official language, coming close behind English as the second most used official language in the world. Some countries that employ French either as a first language or have a large number of residents that speak French include:
Interestingly, in the European Union, French is the only spoken language in the Union's Court of Justice and it is also one of the working languages of the United Nations.
French isn't difficult to learn. It is regarded as a category 1 language, making it similar to English and easier to learn than categories 3 and 4 hard or extremely hard languages. Also, you don't need a formal education to learn French. You can learn French online.
For native English learners, learning French shouldn't come off as difficult as both languages share the same alphabet. However, the only significant difference is the le c cédille (ç), and accent on French vowels.
With the right learning methods and a skilled private tutor, learning French is pretty easy. Your enthusiasm to learn the French language as well as motivation can outweigh whatever difficulty you encounter while learning French. One point to note when learning a new language is understanding what makes the language difficult. Once that is out of the way, you're on the path to mastering any language of your choice.
TUTOROO offers French lessons online and physical French classes. Depending on your preference, you can combine both modes of learning to ensure you get the best learning experience.
For instance, if you're in Sydney and would rather take physical lessons, you can learn French online on our website. Hybrid lessons offer learners flexibility especially if their schedule is demanding.
French proficiency exams evaluate how well non-native French speakers are able to communicate in French in a real-life situation. Also, French proficiency tests measure a learner's French skills in writing, listening, speaking and reading. The proficiency tests are international standardized exams and are recognised worldwide.
If you wish to study in France, Canada or any country that speaks French, it's important you undergo french proficiency tests. For instance, hiring a French tutor in Brisbane can help you prepare for French proficiency tests in Brisbane with ease if you're resident there. At the end of the tests, the diplomas are proof of your French skills and can offer a chance to study in several french-speaking universities.
Additionally, a high percentage of educational institutions in French-speaking countries require that you pass the tests for postgraduate and undergraduate programmes. For workers, the demand to be fluent in French is growing in the corporate world, especially for jobs requiring the knowledge of French. You can use your certificate to show you're competent in applying for jobs that have French speaking and writing skills as a prerequisite.
The organisation conducts the French proficiency tests in line with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Language) guidelines. French proficiency tests you can take include,
It helps to know that there are six levels of DELF AND DALF. They are,
Other french proficiency tests are,
Becoming fluent in French not only depends on how skilled your French tutor is but also on your environment. For instance, if you stay in a place where French is the predominant language, you can grasp the language in a short period. With immersion, you can become fluent in French in about a year or less.
However, if you're learning French and you stay in a place where French isn't spoken, it may take you a longer period to become fluent in French. For instance, learners living in Melbourne may take a longer time becoming fluent in French if they aren't fully or partially immersed. Therefore, it becomes important that they get French tutors in Melbourne to speed up their fluency.
As a beginner, you can get fluent in French in a little above a year with partial French immersion. Partial French immersion involves you devoting your time to learning French with a French tutor at home.
To speed up your fluency in French using the partial immersion method, it's important that you use tools that pull you deeper into the French language. For instance, you can fill up your leisure time indulging in activities that involve French as much as you can. You can watch French movies, read French books and listen to the news in French.
French is a popular language as about 300 million people all over the world speak French. According to the International Organisation of the Francophonie, in 2018, about 235 million people speak French daily.
The figure shows how much French has grown. As of 2005, only a little above 175 million people globally spoke French. Also, French native speakers are about 77 million globally allowing French learners to be fully or partially immersed while learning French with a French tutor.
Furthermore, the International Organisation of Francophonie estimates that by 2050, the number of French speakers will rise to 715 million with 85% of this figure coming from Africa. However, this estimate largely depends on schooling evolution and how much importance the French are given in education.
Yes. TUTOROO private French tutors are experienced and certified with most of them being genuine native speakers. As a learner, you can work with your French tutor to arrange your sessions according to your schedule.
Having a native speaker teach you French for DELF and DALF not only ensures you pass the tests but also get high grades. Our tutors have previously taught students for french proficiency tests and are passionate about sharing their culture and knowledge with learners.
Owing to the nature of French proficiency tests, learners are tested based on writing, speaking, listening and reading, an online tutor may not cut it. Having a private French tutor allows learners to smash their goals while focusing on the four skills the tests are based on.
There are several French tutors on TUTOROO, each with a unique style and expertise. Typically, the TUTOROO team facilitates and coordinates the tutor recruitment process for learners to ensure they are paired with a tutor that matches their budget, needs and wants.
We provide students with a large database of tutors and give them the freedom to either accept or refuse our top selection. However, in the event you're not pleased with your tutors' style of teaching or competence, you can request another French tutor.
Not only is French an easy language to learn, but it also makes learning other romance languages like Italian, Spanish and Portuguese easy. Also, aside from English, French is the only language that is taught globally. Here are five reasons you should learn French:
Becoming a French tutor at TUTOROO isn't difficult. Typically, you don't need to have certifications or qualifications to become a private tutor in the city you live in, especially if you live overseas for several months or years. All you're required to have is the confidence and time to teach people conversations in your native language, although our team will verify your proficiency before onboarding you on our platform. Once you're all set, we will be able to share your TUTOROO profile and attract learners for your private classes.
This way, you will be able to earn a steady income while teaching a language you know and love. Our most successful tutors make as much as $8,000 monthly.
With TUTOROO, you can reach students interested in learning your mother tongue in person (physical classes) or online.
One unique benefit of being a tutor on TUTOROO is that your work schedule is flexible, and there's a steady flow of jobs as many students are signing up to learn French.
All you have to do is sign up here to get started! Our team typically responds within three working days to help you teach your mother tongue to others.
