There’s a difference between learning French and speaking it. One’s theory-heavy, slow, and usually ends in a pile of half-used notebooks. The other is what we do here, focused, personal tutoring with a native speaker who’ll meet you where you are, keep you moving, and make sure the language sticks.
At Learn French with Brigitte, we’ve stripped it back to what works: real conversation, honest correction, grammar that’s actually explained, and pronunciation that doesn’t get left behind. Classes run from 10 am to 8 pm. You tell us your level, your goals, and your schedule. We build the rest around you.
If you’re looking for an online French language tutor who knows how to push without overwhelming, welcome. We’re small by design, focused on the people, not the platform. That means you get answers, feedback, and a tutor who listens and cares. Our students range from total beginners to people polishing their French for work or travel or simply having French conversations to maintain or improve their fluency with the language. The lessons shift depending on your pace and purpose, not ours.
Classes That Respect Your Time and Brain
We offer several ways in:
Beginner French (2025) focuses on basics, clear grammar, everyday vocab, and the confidence to say your first full sentence out loud.
French II has two sections. The first one drills tense usage, indirect and direct objects, negation, comparisons, and all those tricky prepositions that trip up even intermediate speakers.
Once you have this part under your belt, we focus on everyday conversations that will give you not only more of the day-to-day vocabulary, but also the understanding of when and where to use it.
Separate from the above, we have a special French II program specifically addressed to high schoolers who want to skip French II after their first year of French I. This is an intensive 15-hour program that will give them exactly what they need to succeed the French exam to enter French III.
Pronunciation Course (solo) lets you work on clarity and rhythm at your own speed, because it doesn’t matter how perfect your grammar is if no one can understand you.
Conversation sessions add that layer of lived French, spontaneous, imperfect, and essential.
We also offer 12-hour intensives for people who want to make serious progress fast. Everything’s modular. Pay as you go, or block book. We don’t do big contracts or push materials you won’t use.
What It’s Like to Learn Here
This is not some massive virtual classroom. You don’t log into a session with thirty muted boxes and hope for feedback. You show up, you speak, you get corrected, kindly, clearly, and immediately. Mistakes aren’t awkward. They’re part of the process.
We keep class sizes limited, on purpose. First-come, first-served. We want every student to be heard, not lost in the shuffle. You’ll know if you’re getting something wrong. And when you finally get it right, we’ll both hear it.
The tone is casual but focused. We’re not wasting time. Every hour is built to teach you something useful, whether it’s how to ask for directions in Paris or how to finally pronounce “rue” without wincing.
Built for Adults with Schedules, Not Students with Time
We understand that you have work, kids, travel plans, late meetings, and early mornings. We’ve structured things to be flexible. You choose your time slot. You set the pace. We get you to your goal.
Private tutoring? Of course. You can book one-on-one sessions if your schedule is unpredictable or your goals are very specific. Want to nail a business presentation in French? We’ll build around that. Need to dust off your rusty high-school grammar before a trip? Done.
Conclusion: Speak It, Live It, Own It
This isn’t about collecting certificates, but if you need one, we’ve got you covered.
Whether you’re aiming for academic credit, a job requirement, or just something concrete to show for your work, it’s available. We’ll test you, and if passed, your efforts will be recognized formally.
More importantly, we want you to use the language. Speak it at a dinner table in Lyon, argue about cinema in Montreal, order coffee in Marseille without blinking. That’s the goal.
We are Learn French with Brigitte. And if you’re ready to speak French like you mean it, we’ll help you do it, clearly, confidently, and without wasting your time.
