Find your French tutor in Parkville

Teaching yourself French starts with a structured plan and consistent daily practice.

• Grammar basics: learn how verbs work, how nouns get their gender and how everyday sentences are built.
• Vocabulary building: learn the 500 most common French words first — they cover the majority of everyday conversations.
• Listening practice: expose yourself to native French through podcasts, films and YouTube to train your ear.
• Oral practice: speaking every day, even alone, is essential for developing genuine fluency and confidence.

Working with an experienced French teacher saves you from developing bad habits that are hard to fix later.

A private French lesson in Parkville costs approximately $37/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The number of hours booked
• The teaching mode (in-person or video call)

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

Applied to French, the 80/20 rule means focusing on the vocabulary and grammar patterns that appear most often in real conversations.

• Essential words: mastering high-frequency everyday vocabulary gives you the strongest possible foundation for rapid communication.
• Key tenses: present, passé composé and simple future cover the vast majority of French conversations — master those before anything else.
• Common phrases: set expressions and collocations let you speak naturally without constructing every sentence from scratch.
• Active recall: drilling your weak spots rather than reviewing easy material is the most efficient use of your study time.

Working with an experienced teacher ensures your study time goes to what matters most, not what feels easiest.
