From first words to real conversation
Whether the learner is a complete beginner or already knows some French, tutors start from where they are — greetings and everyday phrases first, then the pronunciation and grammar patterns that make speech sound natural.
- Greetings, numbers and everyday conversation
- Pronunciation and accent, taught by ear and by example
- Reading and writing with correct accents and spelling
- Practice built around the learner’s own goals
French for school and exams
French is a school and examination subject too. Tutors support the syllabus — WAEC, GCE, IGCSE and GCSE French — with speaking, comprehension and writing practice, so learners walk into oral and written papers prepared.
- WAEC, GCE, IGCSE and GCSE French support
- Oral practice and listening comprehension
- Essay and letter writing with corrections
- Past-question practice and exam technique
Keep progress going between lessons
Tutors share materials and short practice tasks, and every lesson has a report so guardians can follow what a child is learning even if they don’t speak French themselves.
- Vocabulary lists and audio for practice
- Lesson reports after every session
- A shared calendar for weekly lessons
- Support if a schedule or tutor change is needed
