French from scratch
French tutor for complete beginners
A French tutor for complete beginners starts where you are: a move, a trip, a partner, a job. Lessons are 1 on 1 and slow, in English if you need it — not a children’s course and not a 40-page syllabus. You leave each lesson able to say something you could not yesterday.
Who beginner French lessons are for
You are starting from nothing — or from “I did a bit once” — and you have a why. Curiosity alone is fine; a date on the calendar is even better.
- You have little or no French
- You want a patient 1 on 1 tutor, not an app streak
- You need the first useful sentences, not a rulebook
How beginner French lessons start
Sounds, survival phrases, then the patterns behind them. We do not pretend you are fluent in week one. We do make sure you speak every session.
- English is allowed at the beginning
- Pronunciation from day one, gently
- Homework that fits a real week, not a workbook mountain
