"Andréi works with my fourteen year old weekly. He is an excellent language teacher, and she really enjoys her lessons with him. Her knowledge of grammar and her ability to converse in French has really accelerated since she started. He is very knowledgeable about teaching and learning languages and very engaging — which is necessary when teaching teens. I most highly recommend him. His lessons are a very valuable investment in my child's education."

"Mathieu has been teaching me French for about 3 years. He is first and foremost an intelligent, well-educated and open-minded person with whom discussing topics from theater, film, literature and history to science, current affairs and sports makes learning French fun and intellectually stimulating. Mathieu is also very patient, always on time and flexible with the schedule. I highly recommend his excellent French tutoring."

Common Questions

Before you book

What does French tutoring cost? +

Programmes start at $100 per session, with package pricing available. Your free assessment ends with a clear, no-pressure quote based on your goals and timeline — never a surprise invoice.

How much time do I need to commit? +

Most working professionals start with one 60-minute lesson per week. Your instructor builds the plan around your calendar, not a fixed course schedule.

What if it's not the right fit? +

Your first 20-minute assessment is completely free, with no obligation to continue. If you start lessons and it's not working, you can pause, switch instructors, or cancel — no long-term contract.

Are lessons in-person or online? +

Lessons are live, one-on-one video sessions with your matched instructor — no pre-recorded content, no group classes unless you request one.

How fast will I see progress? +

Most adult students report holding a real conversation within 10–12 weeks of consistent weekly lessons — your assessment will give you a personalized estimate.
