Every program is private and built around you: your level, your goals, and the French you actually want to speak.

Sag Harbor & Hampton Bays

Summer & Seasonal French Programs
The Hamptons live by the season, and so can your French. Many students here begin in the summer, with an intensive stretch of lessons while the family is out east, often several times a week, building real momentum before the season ends.
Children’s summer programs are especially popular. 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. For adults, a summer intensive is an ideal way to prepare for autumn travel. And because lessons are flexible, your program continues smoothly when you return to the city or travel elsewhere.
Why Hamptons Families Choose Private French Lessons
Private instruction offers what a classroom cannot.
Complete personalization. Every lesson is built around the student, their level, their goals, and the way they learn. A child preparing for a competitive school program and an adult preparing for Paris follow entirely different paths.
Flexibility and discretion. Lessons are arranged around your schedule and your household, with a teacher chosen to fit.
Conversation at the center. The focus throughout is on speaking French with genuine confidence, not memorizing rules.
Prefer the convenience of learning from home? Most of our students do, and lessons are delivered live so you never lose a session to travel or weather. We will talk through the options with you when you call.
