We are ready to help:

How can our French tutor in Oakville help you?

French is a challenging subject. It has a more complex grammar structure than English, with feminine and masculine. For example, in french the verb changes based on the subject (like “je suis” vs. “tu es” for “I am” vs. “you are”, whereas adjective will also change based on the noun (feminine and masculine). If you're struggling with these nuances, a French tutor Oakville can help clarify these rules and make learning French more intuitive.

Students make the mistake of memorizing this. Or they will think in terms of English and then translate the sentence to French. This is the wrong approach. Instead, it is more effective to understand the rules and then actively use French via daily listening, practice and writing. Working with a French tutor Oakville ensures you learn practical techniques to reinforce grammar and build confidence in both writing and speaking.

French oral tests are essential for high school French, with accurate pronunciations. Oral tests require students to perform regular conversations with the teacher or answer everyday questions in French (do you like coffee or tea and why?) Pronunciation and conversational french is always a challenge because French syllables are different, not to mention conducting fluent conversation during tests.

Grade 9 Core French
Grade 11 French
AP French
IB French

Grade 9 Core French, a mandatory subject for all high school students, often presents challenges due to foundational gaps from Grade 8—particularly in grammar and oral communication—as students face a significant leap from basic vocabulary to complex grammar and sentence structures, and must master verb conjugations, gendered nouns, and real-life application of the language, while Grade 10 raises expectations further with essay writing requirements, making strong grammar and sentence structure essential, which is why working with a French tutor in Oakville—like at QE, where we emphasize grammar in context, listening, speaking, and writing through a personalized 1-on-1 approach—helps bridge learning gaps, reinforce regular practice, and prepare students for success in Core French assessments.

  • Students often struggle with Grade 9 Core French due to weak foundations in grammar and oral communication from Grade 8.
  • Grade 10 expectations, such as essay writing, require mastery of grammar and sentence structure.
  • QE’s personalized tutoring in Oakville targets grammar, writing, and conversation through consistent practice aligned with the school curriculum.

Grade 11 French marks a significant academic leap, requiring students to move beyond the basics and engage with advanced grammar, essay writing, and literary analysis—skills that demand the ability to connect ideas, use correct tenses, express opinions clearly, and navigate complex topics like passé composé, all of which can be daunting for those still struggling with conjugations, grammar rules, or writing fluency, but at QE, our 1-on-1 tutoring in Oakville provides clear instruction and guided practice from foundational sentence-building to advanced structures, helping students build the confidence and skills they need to participate in discussions, analyze texts, and write essays effectively in French.

3 Main Points:

  • Grade 11 French challenges students with essay writing, advanced grammar, and understanding French literature and culture.
  • Struggles with verb conjugations, grammar rules (like passé composé), and sentence construction can hold students back.
  • QE’s 1-on-1 tutoring focuses on building from the ground up, teaching grammar clearly and helping students write strong, structured French essays.

AP French is a demanding leap from regular classes, requiring students to communicate almost entirely in French while tackling complex themes such as global issues, science, and culture, and to perform across four rigorous AP exam tasks—email replies, argumentative essays using multiple sources, recorded conversations, and cultural presentations—which makes personalized 1-on-1 tutoring at QE in Oakville especially valuable, as it focuses on reinforcing foundational knowledge, addressing individual weaknesses, and building the advanced listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills needed for AP success.

3 Main Points:

  • AP French involves high-level communication in French and covers complex global and cultural topics.
  • The AP exam evaluates students across four challenging tasks: email replies, source-based essays, recorded conversations, and cultural presentations.
  • QE’s personalized 1-on-1 tutoring identifies and addresses skill gaps to strengthen foundational knowledge and boost AP French performance.

IB French—whether it’s French B (SL/HL) or Ab Initio—is a demanding program that requires students to build strong language skills while engaging with global themes like identity and cultural diversity, and to succeed in reading authentic texts, writing structured essays, responding to audio prompts, and participating in oral assessments—all of which can feel overwhelming due to increasingly complex grammar and vocabulary, but at QE, our personalized 1-on-1 French tutoring in Oakville helps students master these skills by addressing individual gaps, preparing them for IB-specific tasks like Internal Assessments and exam papers, and building confidence in both written and spoken French.

3 Main Points:

  • IB French challenges students to develop advanced reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills while exploring global themes.
  • The complexity of grammar, vocabulary, and IB-specific assessments can be overwhelming without focused support.
  • QE’s tailored 1-on-1 tutoring strengthens key skills, prepares students for oral and written exams, and builds confidence in using French effectively.
