  • 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 7th grade hits a wall at the passé composé in 9th grade, and again when the imperfect arrives. In a full class, each student speaks French for a minute or two a lesson. One hour one-on-one 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 semester.

  • When will we see a difference?

    Speaking up first, then grades. 98% of students report more confidence. In French it shows up as a student who will answer out loud instead of freezing. Grades move at the next speaking or writing task. For an AP or IB oral, start at least a semester 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?

Private 1-on-1 French tutoring is one rate at every grade level, from an elementary student learning first words to a 12th grader preparing for the AP exam. No contracts, no sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson. Tell us the grade level and we will send a quote.

The rate includes matching with a French specialist, a dedicated account manager, a written report after every lesson in the parent app and free tutor changes if the fit is wrong.

What does French tutoring cover in Grades K to 12?

Tutors follow the student's school French program and their state's world language standards, from first words in elementary school through French I to IV in high school, AP French Language and Culture, and IB French B or ab initio.

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-on-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 suburbs have a specialist French tutor nearby, and online a student in a country town has the same choice of tutor as one in the city. 98% of students report more confidence.

How is a French tutor matched to my child?

After a short quiz, an account manager calls to ask about grade level, the French course, whether anyone speaks French at home, and the next assessment. The tutor is chosen from the top 2% of applicants for French knowledge and a teaching style that suits the student.

A 7th grade beginner and a 12th grader in AP French 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. AP and IB French both include a spoken assessment, and most high school French courses test speaking. Tutors run practice conversations on the course themes, 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 points, such as tense choice and agreement.

Who are Tutero's French tutors?

Tutero matches students with tutors from the top 2% of applicants: university students and graduates who studied French to a high level, alongside qualified teachers. Every tutor 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 tutoring available?

Anywhere in the United States 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 dedicated pages for tutoring in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, New York and Dallas, and for Florida, Texas, California, New York and Virginia.

How do we get started with a French tutor?

Answer a few questions about the student's grade 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.
