I am Valérie, a native French and experienced teacher ( I have been teaching for 18 years now; I taught in UK, China, and Australia). For the year 2026 : I don't have any more free slots between 4pm and 8 pm on weekdays, and on week-ends . In any case : please check with me my availabilities before paying anything on the website. I don’t give any lessons exceeding one hour as in my experience this is not efficient and not a good experience for the students . I have a French degree ( DAFLE degree from Alliance Française) to teach French to non French native speakers. I ‘ve been living in Australia for 8 years now and taught privately dozens of VCE students in year 11 &12 (all of them got at least scaled 40, best grade 52 ). If you plan to take French as a VCE subject, I highly recommend to start lessons from year 9 or 10 onwards. I provide comprehensive oral and written resources specifically designed to maximise results: - Grammar/ conjugation worksheets with a focus on useful vocabulary for the VCE students - model essays on the most frequently examined topics. - A personalized support for the VCE oral examination, helping students prepare and refine their chosen topic. I also teach younger students from Y5 , as well as adults (including beginners), for their pleasure or to prepare them for French exams. All my lessons are adjusted to your needs and interests: speaking , listening, writing with focus on grammar & conjugation. For the adults who are more advanced, we'll work on your favorite topics and learn more about French culture. 1 hour is a good duration for my lessons, or 45 minutes if you are younger than 12, especially if the lesson is online .. You are welcome to take lessons at my home in Ahsburton (3147) or online. Face to face lessons are more effective (especially if you are a beginner ) and are usually a better experience, but some students enjoy online lessons and find them more convenient (especially Y12 students). My lessons are intensive and you’ll cover a lot of ground in one hour. I usually give homework unless you don't want to. In addition to grammar & conjugation resources, I provide cultural worksheets about France, articles, videos .... One hour per week is 80$ (as per Tutoroo's pricing rules, "from $45 per hour" is for 4 hours per week). Do not hesitate to ask me any further questions before making a decision.

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

Speaking is the key. Learning French in a classroom as an English native speaker doesn’t work. That’s probably why you are looking for someone like me now. We don’t go together with a generic 1-1 class. Not only will you learn useful grammar, vocabulary, and conjugations while speaking with me, but you’ll also dive into the French culture. As a polyglot (English, German, Italian), I share comprehensive methods which helped me concretely to master foreign languages. We will focus on concrete use cases, so you go from hesitating to feeling confident communicating in French.

ONLINE LESSONS ONLY - Bonjour tout le monde, I am Audrey, born and raised in the northwest side of France, in a little town called Chartres, famous for its beautiful cathedral. After finishing studying in France, I lived in England for a year to improve my English. I discovered my passion for traveling so I decided to visit beautiful Australia where I fell in love with the culture, the wildlife, and the colorful landscape. I successfully passed a TESOL diploma which allows me to teach both English and French. I taught English for over a year back in France in 2009 and then moved back to Melbourne in 2010 where I have been teaching French ever since.

Bonjour! I’m Julien, a native French speaker from France now living in Melbourne. I offer friendly and practical French lessons for anyone wanting to improve their confidence, conversation, pronunciation and understanding of the language. I have previous teaching experience with Alliance Française, where I worked as a teaching assistant introducing French to young children aged 3–5. This gave me experience making language learning engaging, approachable and adapted to different learners. My lessons can be tailored to your level and goals, whether you’re a complete beginner, already learning French and looking for extra support, or simply want more opportunities to practise speaking with a native French speaker. We can work on conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and everyday French, with a focus on actually using the language rather than just memorising rules. French can certainly be challenging especially pronunciation and grammar, but no need to stress. You don’t need to master everything before you start speaking. I believe one of the best ways to improve is through regular practice, conversation and learning in a relaxed environment where making mistakes is completely normal. Whether you’re learning French for travel, study, work, or simply because you love the language and culture, I’ll adapt our sessions to what you want to achieve. À bientôt!

TUTOROO has been designed to provide a frictionless experience while connecting tutors to students, for private in-person language lessons.

"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.

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.
