Types of French classes Melbourne

The plethora of dedicated teachers available on Superprof caters to the wide range of needs of students. When choosing what sort of French lessons you need, it's best to think about why and where you'll be using the language, as well as what your end goal is with it. As mentioned, you could have academic, professional, or personal reasons for wanting to learn the language of love, so find a tutor that matches this in their description. To get some ideas of the motivations for learning and to help you find a tutor, let's look at some of the motivations for learning French in Melbourne:

Academic reasons

Far from new to the primary, secondary, and university curriculums, French is a stalwart of language learning. Primary school students may need some help or excitement when learning colours and numbers, and parents may want to take advantage of having a native speaker help mould their child's mind while they're young. Secondary school students may be finding really sinking their teeth into a new language challenging, and need someone to help them put this into perspective (maybe even someone who's been through this process themselves!).

Alternatively, VCE students might be getting ready for exams and need someone to help keep them focussed, cram, or get the score they need to continue language studies at university. Either way, the range of French teachers available through Superprof all over Victoria can lend a hand with this. Finally, you might really want to be taking your language to the next level at university, or even considering going on exchange, and getting linguistic and cultural insights from a native speaker could be just the way to go for this. Whatever your level, and whatever your desire, Superprof will have a tutor to match.

Professional reasons

Work might be seconding you to a new city, or you might be wanting to woo some new clients with your French, so you're on the lookout for some classes. Tutors at Superprof are experienced in teaching from A1 (total beginner) to C2 (native speaker) levels. You can even choose a professional option to find individuals who can give you that leg up with French lessons in professional communication and workplace skills!

Getting in touch with a native speaker or someone who has experience on the ground can really help you advance your professional French with invaluable insights, so get in touch with someone who can help you conquer the intercultural communication barrier.

Personal reasons

Finally, the personal reasons for learning French are deep and varied, as France and the French language have always been a place of desire for foreigners (ooh-là-là!). You might be a culinary whiz, with food and wine running through your veins, and since the restaurants of France are world-renowned, you may be seeking to take the plunge into the world of French cuisine by breaking down the language barrier.

You could find yourself fascinated by the lavender fields of Provence, and are planning on indulging yourself by spending a month there, but need day-to-day French to get around while you're there. Or you may even be a deep thinker who wants to walk the streets that Sartre and Proust once did, and want some philosophical French to really enhance the experience. No matter your schtick, the cultural nuances of the world's most visited country open up to you with some of the best tutors around who can guide you through the depth and richness of the French culture on Superprof.
