Private French lessons

Private French lessons are conducted on Zoom by one of our highly trained and experienced French native instructors. Instructors may be sent to your San Francisco office or home if easily accessible by public transportation. One of the main benefits of private French lessons is the complete flexibility of the learning program in terms of scheduling and content of the course.

Once you start your French private lessons, you may request another free consultation at any time to review your progress and/or change your lesson plan or the teaching method. You can also discuss regarding what you will learn from the French class courses.
