Find your French tutor in Wellington

Learning French on your own is entirely possible with the right approach.

• Core grammar: focus on verb conjugation, masculine and feminine nouns, and simple sentence patterns.
• High-frequency words: prioritise the most-used vocabulary and common phrases before tackling complex or rare terms.
• Listening practice: expose yourself to native French through podcasts, films and YouTube to train your ear.
• 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.

French tutors in Wellington typically charge $36/h.

Several factors influence the price:

• The level of study (primary, secondary, university)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• Where the sessions take place

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value.

The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, says that 80% of your results come from just 20% of your effort.

• Core vocabulary: the top 500–1,000 words used most often in conversation should come before rare or specialised terms.
• Priority grammar: focus on present, past (passé composé) and future tenses before tackling subjunctive or conditional forms.
• Common phrases: set expressions and collocations let you speak naturally without constructing every sentence from scratch.
• Smart revision: spend the bulk of your study time on the words and rules you keep forgetting, not the ones you already know.
