French for kids & teens
Homework help that turns into actual confidence — for Ontario students in Core French, Extended French and Immersion.
Support for every Ontario stream
Core French
Grades 4–12. Vocabulary, verbs and oral presentations, plus the confidence to put a hand up in class.
Extended French
Heavier reading and writing loads, with subject vocabulary from history and geography taught in French.
French Immersion
Where most parents call us. Math and science in French are hard; we work on the language that unlocks the subject.
Writing & grammar
Accord, tenses, connectors and structure — the things that cost marks on every rubric.
Oral presentations
Rehearsal, pronunciation and nerves. Most students improve a full letter grade on presentation marks.
Enrichment
For students already doing well who find school French slow. Real conversation, films, debate.
How we teach younger learners
Children do not need a different language; they need a different room. Lessons are shorter, faster-moving and built around games, stories and talking about things a nine-year-old actually cares about.
Teenagers get the opposite treatment: treated as adults, given material with some edge to it, and never made to sing.

What happens first
A short chat with you
Fifteen minutes with a parent or guardian: the report card, the teacher’s comments, and what your child says about French.
A free trial lesson
Your child meets the tutor. You get an honest read on where the difficulty actually sits — often it is confidence, not grammar.
A weekly slot
Same tutor, same time each week. Notes after every lesson and a full report each term.
From parents
Parent questions
What is the youngest age you teach?
Six. Below that, short playful sessions with a parent in the room work far better than formal tutoring, and we will say so rather than take the booking.
Do lessons follow the Ontario curriculum?
Yes. Send us the course outline or the most recent report card and lessons are planned against the actual expectations your child is graded on.
Can lessons be in person?
Yes, across the GTA, with a $15 travel supplement. Many families start in person and move online once the child is comfortable with the tutor.
Are your instructors screened?
Every instructor working with minors holds a current vulnerable sector police check, and a parent or guardian is welcome to observe any lesson.
What if my child does not get on with the tutor?
We switch, immediately and without awkwardness. Fit matters more than credentials at this age.
