"Andrei was responsive from the very beginning and paired us with a wonderful tutor, Emilie, who tailored her approach to our daughter's needs. It was during these past six months with Elite French Tutoring that she made her biggest breakthrough in conversational French."

What parents say

★★★★★ 4.9 from parents on Google
★★★★★

"Pierre tutors my two sons weekly. Being a French native myself one may wonder why a tutor may be needed, but learning a language is more than speaking at home. Pierre provides that level of structure to our sons, but does so in a one-on-one approach that creates much better results than the class-based after school programs we tried before. Pierre is patient, firm but kind, and tailors his approach to each child's level and learning style."

"Andrei was responsive from the very beginning and paired us with a wonderful tutor, Emilie, who tailored her approach to our daughter's needs. Although our daughter has been studying French her entire life and is now 15, it was during these past six months with Elite French Tutoring that she made her biggest breakthrough in conversational French. The improvement in her confidence, fluency, and ability to express herself has been impressive."

"Cyril 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 working with him. He is very engaging, which is necessary when teaching teens or children. His lessons are a very valuable investment in my child's education."

Questions Parents Ask Us

Before you book

What does this cost? +

Programmes start at $100 per session, with family package pricing available. Your free assessment ends with a clear, no-pressure quote — never a surprise bill.

Is this actually safe for my child? +

Every instructor is background-checked and certified before they ever meet a student. You're welcome to sit in on any lesson, and all sessions are one-on-one, live video — never open chat or unsupervised messaging.

What if my child doesn't click with their instructor? +

We'll rematch your child with a different instructor at no cost — getting the right personality fit matters more to us than filling a schedule slot.

How long before I see progress? +

Most children show noticeable improvement in confidence and vocabulary within 10–12 weeks of consistent weekly lessons. Your assessment will give you a specific estimate for your child's starting level.

Can I cancel or pause anytime? +

Yes — no long-term contract. Pause for school breaks, exams, or travel, and resume whenever you're ready.
