One tutor. Your goal. Your calendar.
Private lessons are the fastest route when you have a deadline, an unusual schedule, or a specific thing you need French for — an interview, a move to Montréal, a partner’s family, a licensing exam.
- Online anywhere, or in person across the GTA
- Certified native and near-native instructors
- Packages that never expire, refundable if unused
First 30 minutes free · Reschedule up to 12 hours ahead
Private lessons suit you if…
You have a hard deadline
An exam date, an interview, a relocation. We reverse-engineer the plan from the date backwards.
Your schedule is unpredictable
Shift work, travel, small children. Book week by week if that is what your life allows.
You need something specific
Medical French, legal terminology, hospitality, a wedding speech. We build the syllabus around it.
You want accent work
Dedicated pronunciation coaching with recording, playback and targeted drills.
You have plateaued
Stuck at the same B1 for two years? A diagnostic session usually finds three habits holding you there.
Group classes make you freeze
Some people simply learn better without an audience. That is a preference, not a failing.
How private lessons run
Free diagnostic
Thirty minutes: your level, your goal, your deadline, your obstacles. You get a written plan whether or not you continue.
Matched to a tutor
We pair you on goal and accent — Métropolitain or Québécois, patient or brisk, conversational or exam-focused.
Lessons and homework
Sixty minutes each, with a short task between. Feedback is written up after every session.
Reviewed every six weeks
A formal check against the plan. We adjust, or tell you that you no longer need us.

Who will be teaching you
Every tutor on the team is a certified language instructor, and most hold DELF or DALF examiner training. We hire for patience as hard as we hire for qualifications — the ability to let someone struggle productively for ten seconds instead of rescuing them instantly is rarer than a linguistics degree.
- Certified instructors, background-checked
- Métropolitain and Québécois accents available
- Experience with adult beginners and nervous returners
- Switch tutors at any time, no explanation needed
Private students
Private tutoring questions
How often should I have lessons?
Once a week is the minimum that produces visible progress; twice a week roughly halves the time to the next CEFR level. Below once a fortnight, most of each lesson goes on recovering what faded.
Can lessons be in person in Toronto?
Yes, across the GTA, subject to tutor availability. There is a $15 travel supplement per lesson outside the downtown core.
What is your cancellation policy?
Reschedule free up to twelve hours before the lesson. Inside twelve hours the lesson is charged, because your tutor has held that hour. Emergencies are handled like adults.
Do unused lessons expire?
No. Packages have no expiry date, and you can request a refund for any unused lessons at any time.
Can two of us share a lesson?
Yes — semi-private lessons for two learners at a similar level are $80 per hour total. Three is the practical maximum before it stops being private tutoring.
