French 3 Tutoring FAQ
After several years of study, language classes become increasingly more difficult. In the first two years of French classes, students will learn a number of conversational skills as well as some basic rules of composition and grammar. During the third year of French, student attention shifts to the finer details of the French language and will become increasingly more technical. While oral proficiency will continue to be vitally important, students will also be working on many more aspects of French grammar and building on the basic tenses and constructions covered in previous courses. Rather than allowing oneself to get behind in these rigorous studies, consider enrolling in French 3 tutoring to help be certain of academic success. Varsity Tutors has extensive experience in helping students connect with personal French 3 tutors.
With the increasingly intense grammar being covered in French 3, it is particularly helpful to have a personal guide to help build on the compositional and grammatical skills that have been mastered thus far. A knowledgeable French 3 tutor can help assess each student%u2019s individual strengths and weaknesses, their current level of language mastery, and their preferred learning style. This allows the tutor to create individualized lesson plans that are able to address specific concerns while avoiding topics the student clearly understands. The ability to work with a student on an individual basis allows students to receive the custom attention they need to facilitate rapid academic growth. Many students find it is far easier to speak in French when they are with a personal tutor instead of in front of a full classroom of their peers. The ability to relax and work on their pronunciation and speech patterns can be an invaluable experience in the process of language acquisition. When a student is able to immerse themselves in the language, they are able to achieve a greater degree of fluency.
Likewise, instead of repeating a number of small errors while learning to speak and compose with new grammatical constructs, personal instruction can provide students with instant feedback about their use of the grammar that they are learning over the course of their class lectures. Additionally, many of the selections that students will be reading will be much more difficult than the brief conversations that have characterized the majority of the French curriculum up to this point. Personal French 3 tutoring can help students apply the abstract grammatical knowledge they have been learning to the specific passages they need to translate.
Students are frequently worried they don%u2019t have the time to devote to additional academic instruction during the school year. Challenging classes, homework, family obligations, sports, and work may all be competing for time each day, leaving what feels like very little free time for tutoring. Professional tutors understand just how difficult it can be to find that extra time and work with students to take advantage of any windows of availability. Tutors are available throughout the day, during the evening, and on weekends. They are usually able to meet with students wherever the student prefers, including a school campus, the student%u2019s home, a nearby coffee shop, or a local library. The Varsity Tutors live learning platform also allows students to meet with a private tutor face-to-face online. This gives them the flexibility to meet with their tutor at the time and location of their choice.
As students prepare for college-level language studies, or perhaps AP French class, it is important to be certain their linguistic skills are at the peak of excellence. As one begins to move into advanced topics of French literature and grammar, they would be wise not to let the increasing difficulty of the material endanger future academic success. Contact Varsity Tutors today to connect with an experienced French 3 tutor to help navigate the complexities of this beautiful language.

Recent French 3 Tutoring Session Notes
Gave the student a few sheets about prepositions and past participle, and briefly discussed the topics. We then worked on the preparation for her test tomorrow. The assignment was to write three to four paragraphs about a trip you took to France, either real or fictitious, and to include passé compose and imparfait, and some reflexive verbs. She had been to France a few years ago, so she had lots to talk about. The student showed good command of the sentences she wanted to write. I helped her embellish the story, to make it more interesting, and to use a broader vocabulary. We completed the essay, and she felt she is well prepared.
The student and I worked on placement and use of object pronouns when there are two of them in one sentence. We broke down the options and she was able to go back and determine which one to use based on different criteria we came up with. She is going to continue doing some exercises out of the French review book.
The student and I will be working on math and French this year. We split the time pretty evenly between the two subjects. For math, we reviewed factoring polynomials, function notation, solving functions for different variables, and function composition. For French, we reviewed vocab for an upcoming test (topic: "vacation") and read some passages from his textbook.
We familiarized ourselves with the course of study the student needs to master. We established that he needs to absorb the grammar of an entire level (level 3) in order to skip this level at his college this fall. We practiced vocabulary words on page 37. We conjugated the word "aller" in present tense and passé simple. Then we reviewed the conjugation of more regular verbs in present, passé simple, l'imparfait, passé compose and plus-que-parfait. His homework is to practice the conjugations and to study new vocabulary on page 75.
We went over the first week of what she learned, which wasn't much, just passé compose and imparfait. There wasn't too much to do so we didn't need an entire hour and a half. I'll probably make the time up to her next time.
The student and I went through another chapter from her text and discussed verb conjugations and when to use them. We made a few charts and put a few verb conjugations in her notes. I will be gone next week, but when I return I would like to work a little more on vocab and conversational pieces so that the student feels more comfortable with the questions. She says she struggles to know when to use what verb tense and I think being able to get the gist of what the sentence is trying to say by expanding vocab will be a big help to her.
