French tutoring with the speaking practice a classroom can’t give.
French rewards practice out loud — and one-on-one sessions give your student far more of it than a full class ever could. Elite matches your student with a tutor who is fluent in French and matched to the course and exam they are working toward.
French clicks with conversation, not more flashcards.
Verb conjugations and gendered nouns feel abstract on paper and natural in conversation. Tutoring puts most of the session into using the language, with grammar taught as it comes up.
The courseThe class and level, from beginning French through AP and IB.
The gapSpeaking confidence, conjugation, gender and agreement, or listening.
The goalA stronger grade, an oral-exam or AP score, or real conversational ability.
From first phrases to the AP exam.
Real conversation is paired with the grammar and vocabulary the current class requires.
Diagnose the gap, rebuild it, then reinforce the current class.
Sessions are structured around your student, not a fixed curriculum.
Whether your student is catching up or aiming for a top AP score.
