Elite French Tutoring

EFT goes the extra mile in accommodating your busy schedule and lifestyle. We strive for maximum flexibility in scheduling learning sessions that are convenient for you.

In this regard, we have lots of experience. We have been working in New York since 2012. Since then, we have had the privilege of serving a host of very busy and accomplished people who came to us with high expectations (testimonials). These have included a District Attorney of Manhattan, the author of several New York Times best sellers, Ivy League professors, diplomats serving at the United Nations, an award-winning chef, as well as medical doctors, attorneys and businesspersons.

We could not have been successful if we did not make every effort to tailor our programs to the needs and expectations of very busy people, if we had taken an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all approach to designing our learning programs, or not offered teachers with the intellectual and culture level to retain the interest of a sophisticated clientele.

We pride ourselves on professionalism in dealing with clients, our commitment to excellence, our service orientation, and our reliability. We hope you will be the beneficiary of our Adult French Classes.

Why Online Private French Lessons?

While Elite French Tutoring maintains a base in Manhattan and Brooklyn and is thus able to serve New York with in-person, private French lessons at your home or at a location of your choosing, you may wish to consider learning French with us online.

As someone with an interest in learning or improving your speaking skills for your next trip or business venture into France (or perhaps even formal research), online lessons are the best way to work towards your goals without interrupting your daily schedule.

Private online lessons can be scheduled at any time that is convenient for you; focusing on what you want to learn while taking place wherever is most comfortable for you. You can learn online with a private online French tutor at your own pace and in the comfort of your home, office or hotel room via ZOOM.
When learning online, messages are exchanged with your French tutor to ensure you are on track before each online lesson. This system allows you to work on topics that are relevant to you only while focusing on conversational skills in an online environment.

Studying online is also beneficial because it gives both you and your online French teacher the freedom to focus on what's important without interruptions from other students or distractions in the classroom. You can take breaks whenever needed while still getting all of the practice necessary to speak French fluently when it comes time to have conversations with native speakers.

Online lessons are also ideal for those looking to brush up on their speaking skills or learn about a new language topic that they have not yet covered in the classroom. Avoid being stuck inside the traditional classroom environment without the ability to speak about topics relevant to you while learning online allows even beginners can be confident when talking with native speakers. There is a lot to be said for online French classes. They can save you time, and, in this time of public health concerns stemming from viruses, can reduce your exposure while still helping you to meet your goal of fluency in French.

Testimonials

”Andrei focuses on conversational fluency and proficiency in a way that has profoundly optimized the learning experience for me. Out of all of the language learning I have done in the past, Andrei’s method is truly unique. He bypasses the unnecessary and superfluous material and focuses primarily on the rules and vocabulary that support the most prevalent conversations one would have in French or in any language. Andrei is patient, incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and motivating. Three months into working with Andrei, I would recommend him to any person hoping to efficiently learning French. I hope to continue working with Elite French Tutoring until I reach fluency.”

— Julia B.

”Andrei is a phenomenal teacher. With an emphasis on conversational fluency and practical knowledge, Andrei has helped me see a rapid increase in my French proficiency and comfort. Not only does Andrei speak excellent French, he also is a perfectionist and ensures that you will not be making some of the common mistakes English speakers make. In addition to being an excellent teacher, Andrei is also a pleasure to spend time and converse with. I would highly recommend him for anyone who wishes to improve their French–even for those who already speak it well.”
