PRIVATE TUITION

Whether you’re just getting started or want to take your French to the next level, private tuition lets you learn at your own pace, on your own schedule – with a program designed just for you.

Perfect if you:

  • have a busy or irregular timetable
  • prefer to learn one-on-one or in a small group
  • want to focus on specific goals (conversation, grammar, exam prep, travel, work…)

Private lessons are available face-to-face in St Ives, Narrabeen & Killarney Heights or online, for adults, teens and kids.

Why choose private tuition?

Fully tailored to your goals
Work on exactly what you need: build confidence speaking, review grammar, prepare for an exam, get ready for travel, or maintain your French between terms.

Flexible schedule
Morning, daytime or evening – we’ll do our best to match you with a teacher who fits your availability.

All ages & levels
From complete beginners to advanced speakers, school students to retirees – we adapt to you.

How it works

1. Fill in the Private Tuition Request Form below

2. We match you with a teacher
We look at your level, goals and availability to find the best fit. If your schedule is flexible, please indicate several days and time slots – it makes it much easier to find a teacher.

3. We confirm the details & organise payment
You receive a confirmation with your teacher’s name, location/online link, duration of lessons and payment instructions.

4. Your lessons begin
The school helps arrange the date and time of the first class. Subsequent lessons can be arranged directly between you and your teacher.

If your teacher’s or your availabilities change and classes can no longer be arranged with that teacher, we will find another teacher as quickly as possible, either temporarily or permanently, depending on the situation.
