Private French Lessons & Classes in the Hamptons
One-to-one French tutoring for residents of Southampton, East Hampton, Montauk, and across the Hamptons, for adults and children at every level.
From Southampton to Montauk
A French teacher for your household
Elite French Tutoring provides private French lessons and classes for residents of the Hamptons. We have taught French one to one, with certified native teachers, in programs shaped entirely around each student.
Every program is private and built around you: your level, your goals, and the French you actually want to speak. That might be confident conversation for travel, a child’s head start before the school year, or fluency for a life that moves between New York and Paris.

The rhythm of the season
Summer & Seasonal French Programs
The Hamptons live by the season, and so can your French. Many students begin in summer with an intensive stretch of lessons while the family is out east.
01
Children's Summer Programs
A few focused weeks can transform a child’s confidence before the school year, and lessons feel less like school and more like part of the summer.
02
Adult Summer Intensives
An ideal way to prepare for autumn travel. Several sessions a week, compressing months of progress into a single season.
03
Continues Beyond the Season
Because lessons are flexible, your program continues smoothly when you return to the city or travel elsewhere.
