  • Why do students struggle with French?

    Grammar gaps and too little speaking. French builds on itself. A student who never settled avoir and être in Sec 1 hits a wall at the passé composé in Sec 3, and again when the imperfect arrives. In a full class, each student speaks French for a minute or two a lesson. One hour 1-to-1 is mostly the student talking.

  • What does the first lesson cover?

    Talking, a grammar check, then a plan. The tutor opens in simple French at the student's level, then moves to the unit they are on at school. A few spoken answers, some written sentences and a quick run through the verbs show where the errors come from. That evening the parent app has a written report and the plan for the term.

  • When will we see a difference?

    Speaking up first, then marks. In French, confidence shows up as a student who will answer out loud instead of freezing. Marks move at the next oral or writing task. For an O-Level, IB or DELF oral, start at least a term before it so there is time to rehearse every topic.

Common questions

Cost, courses, oral exams and matching, answered for French.

Find a French tutor

How much does a French tutor cost in Singapore?

A private French tutor at Tutero costs from S$65 an hour at every level, from a primary student learning first words to a JC2 student preparing for the oral exam. There are no contracts and no sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson.

The rate includes matching with a French specialist, a dedicated account manager and a written report after every lesson in the parent app.

What does French tuition cover from Primary to JC?

Tutors follow the French programme at your child's school: early French at primary, French as a third language from Sec 1 towards O-Level, Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE French, IB French B or French ab initio, and the DELF exams.

Lessons cover the four skills schools assess: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Underneath sit vocabulary and grammar, including verb tenses, gender and agreement, pronouns and word order, plus the text types students must write, such as emails, articles, journal entries and speeches.

Is an online French tutor as good as face to face?

For a language, online works well, because most of what a student needs is to hear French and speak it. In a live 1-to-1 lesson the student talks for much of the hour, the tutor corrects pronunciation as it happens, and the interactive whiteboard holds the verb tables and sentences they build together.

It also widens the choice. Few neighbourhoods have a specialist French tutor nearby, and online every student has the same choice of tutor.

How is a French tutor matched to my child?

After a short quiz, an account manager calls to ask about the student's level, the French course, whether anyone speaks French at home, and the next assessment. The tutor is carefully selected for French knowledge and a teaching style that suits the student.

A Sec 1 beginner and a student preparing for IB French B need different tutors, and matching accounts for that. If the fit is not right, changing tutor is free.

Can a tutor help prepare for the French oral exam?

Yes. Most French courses in Singapore include a spoken assessment, such as the O-Level oral, the IB individual oral or the DELF speaking test. Tutors run practice conversations on the course topics, work on fluency and pronunciation, and help the student answer follow-up questions without a script.

For the written and listening papers they work through past questions, timed writing in the required text types, and the grammar errors that cost the most marks, such as tense choice and agreement.

Who are Tutero's French tutors?

Tutero's French tutors are Singapore-based university students and graduates who studied French to a high level, alongside qualified teachers. Each is ID-verified and has signed a declaration, and completes training and coaching before their first lesson.

The Our Tutors page shows each tutor's subjects, university and results, so you can see who teaches French before you book. Four tutors are also introduced further up this page.

Where is online French tuition available?

Anywhere in Singapore with an internet connection. Lessons run on weekdays, evenings and weekends, so they can sit around school, sport and music without a drive across town.

There are also pages for PSLE, lower secondary, SEC and O-Level, IP, A-Level, IGCSE and IB tuition.

How do we get started with a French tutor?

Answer a few questions about the student's level, French course and goals. An account manager then calls to talk it through and matches the student with a French tutor who suits them.

You pay after each lesson, there are no contracts, and you can stop any time.
