If you're having a hard time mastering basic French skills or need assistance with more advanced French concepts, Varsity Tutors would be happy to set you up with exceptional Austin French lessons. French is one of the major languages of the world. It is estimated that over 300 million people around the world speak French as their native or second language. 55 countries consider it their official or second language and it is taught in every country in the world. It is known as the "language of culture" due to the many works of literature originally written in French. Victor Hugo, Molière, and Jean-Paul Sartre are only a small sampling of artists who wrote in the French language. It is also an important language in the professional world. French is the official language of the EU, the UN, the International Red Cross, and many other international corporations and agencies. These reasons alone at good enough motivation to learn French, but there are many more reasons one might want to learn this beautiful language.
Perhaps you're a student attending an Austin secondary institute such as the Liberal Arts & Science Academy or Westwood High School. Many high schools require students to take one or more foreign languages courses in order to graduate. Colleges or universities such as the University of Texas - Austin may also require students to take a foreign language course depending on the student's program of choice. Working with a knowledgeable and trusted teacher can help our student work on his or her skill.
Maybe you're not a current student but a working professional who wants to expand your horizons. Being able to say you speak French fluently can give you a leg up when applying to jobs and can possibly open up opportunities for you to work in French-speaking countries. It can be useful in the United States as well since an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. speak French.
It's also possible you just want to learn French for the sake of saying you could or to enhance your future travels. Even knowing just the most basic French skills can help you during trips. Knowing the language can help you with better understanding the culture of the area and people around you when you visit as well.
No matter what your reasons are for wanting to enhance your French skills, we're here to help.
What skills or material can Austin French lessons cover to help me learn the language?
Learning a new skill can be overwhelming and frustrating. Learning French is no exception to this statement. With assistance and hard work, you can work towards fluency. You'll be able to work on six foundational skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening, pronunciation, and memorization of grammar, sentence structure, gendered nouns or definite/indefinite articles. Mastering these skills can help you work towards fluency when conversing in French.
Working on reading can help you with spelling and grammar. Working on writing can help you with conjugating verbs. Conversational practice can help with pronunciation, speech, and listening skills all at the same time. Memorization will help you expand your vocabulary and help you speak more quickly without having to translate in your head. Your class can help you come up with tips and tricks to improve all these areas. Learning in this way can make learning exciting again.
What are the benefits of signing up for a class for Austin French lessons?
When you sign up for a French class, you'll be able to access live class sessions using our online, interactive learning platform. This platform allows you to speak to, hear, and see your French instructor as if you were all sitting together in the same room. With our meticulous and difficult vetting process, you can rest assured you are receiving instruction from a knowledgeable instructor with great communication skills. You'll also have the chance to take part in various group activities or discussions. Engaging in collaborative activities has been shown to help students to learn topics more easily and enjoyably. For example, you and your classmates can engage in conversations to come up with mnemonic devices to increase retention.
When you call to sign up, you'll be able to choose between enrolling in a two- or four-week class. Sessions are offered at different time throughout the day and new sessions begin each month. This makes it convenient and easy to fit class sessions into your already busy life.
How is working with a private Austin French tutor different than being in a class?
When you work with an Austin French tutor, you gain the advantage of one-on-one instruction which is created to focus on your specific needs. Your sessions will revolve around your personal strengths and weaknesses, and your teacher can take into account your preferred learning style when making lesson plans. For example, if you're a visual learner, lessons can include various videos. Learning when the method suits your personality and needs can be more enjoyable and can help with understanding and retention. You'll also be able to work at your own pace. As the only student, there's no reason to waste your time going over the same topics you already understand. Instead, you can focus on the areas which you know need the most help. Lessons can be adjusted to focus on new skills or content as you improve in skills and material. This is an excellent option for a student who really prefers an independent and informal study session.
How do I get signed up for Austin French lessons?

We'll take the time to get to know your educational and scheduling requirements and help you decide which type of French lesson would provide the biggest benefit.

John: Austin French lesson instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

I assume responsibility that my student is learning and that my student is learning at higher and higher levels, in accordance with Bloom's Taxonomy. Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Evaluation, Synthesis, Analysis are higher levels of learning that give the student tools to apply lessons into maturity. I have been very successful in tutoring ACT, SAT, ISEE, and GRE.... The Socratic method, asking open-ended questions, is an excellent strategy to get a student to talk. When the tutor can speak less and encourage the tutee to speak more, the tutor can identify the student's level of understanding.
