Find your French tutor in Ivanhoe East

Self-studying French works well when you build strong habits from the very beginning.

• Grammar basics: learn how verbs work, how nouns get their gender and how everyday sentences are built.
• Essential vocabulary: master greetings, numbers, food, travel and daily-life words to build confidence fast.
• Immersive listening: watch French content with subtitles and listen to native speakers as often as possible.
• Speaking aloud: practise pronunciation daily — repeat phrases, record yourself and work on correcting your accent.

A personal French tutor gives you structured feedback and conversation practice that no app can replace.

The average cost of French lessons in Ivanhoe East is around $60/h.

The cost depends on:

• Your skill level and learning goals
• The teacher's expertise and background
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The lesson format (online, at home, at the tutor's)

Most teachers offer a free trial lesson so you can test their approach.

In language learning, the Pareto principle tells you to prioritise the 20% of French that covers 80% of everyday communication.

• Essential words: mastering high-frequency everyday vocabulary gives you the strongest possible foundation for rapid communication.
• Core grammar: a handful of tenses handle most of what you need to say day to day, so get those right first.
• Fixed expressions: learning language chunks — like "qu'est-ce que," "il faut" and "c'est" — builds fluency far faster than isolated words.
• Smart revision: spend the bulk of your study time on the words and rules you keep forgetting, not the ones you already know.

A private French teacher tailors every lesson to the words, tenses and structures most relevant to you.
