Confidence in French starts with speaking it. TutorBoost matches Ontario students in Grades 4–12 with a French tutor who works on the actual course, from a first vocabulary quiz to Grade 12 Core French. Live, 1-on-1 and online.
Start With a Free Trial SessionOnline French tutoring is live 1-on-1 help from a tutor over video, matched to your child's grade and Ontario Core French course. Sessions build speaking, listening, reading and writing, and support homework, tests and confidence from Grade 4 through Grade 12.
Most French problems are not about ability. They come from too little practice speaking, and from small gaps that pile up between units. A tutor closes both.
Match Me With a TutorWe follow what your child is learning in school, not a separate camp-style program.
Build confidence early. Friendly sessions on vocabulary, sentence building, reading and speaking, tied to what your child is doing in French class.
Stay on top of your French credit. Support with grammar, writing, oral work and tests across Ontario's Core French courses.
Ontario students study French from Grade 4 to Grade 8, and high school students need at least one French credit to earn their diploma. Get matched with a tutor who already knows the course. See all subjects and tutoring plans.
Four skills sit behind every French course. Sessions work on whichever one your child needs most.
Real practice speaking, with a tutor who corrects pronunciation as it happens, so your child gets comfortable answering out loud.
Understanding spoken French at class speed, from short dialogues to oral-style questions.
Reading short texts, learning new words in context and remembering them for tests.
Sentences, paragraphs and verb tenses, with clear explanations of why a rule works, not just what it is.
Also: homework help, test and oral preparation, and catching up after a tough term.
Core French is French taught as a subject. French Immersion teaches several other subjects in French as well. TutorBoost's French tutoring supports Core French. If your child is in Extended French or French Immersion, contact us first and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
Contact UsThe struggles look different at each stage, so here they are split by where your child is.
Many students understand more French than they're willing to say out loud. Without practice, shyness turns into "I'm just bad at French."
Words learned for Friday's quiz are gone by Monday. A tutor teaches them inside sentences, so they stay.
Conjugations pile up as courses move forward. Students who memorize without understanding eventually hit a wall.
Writing a paragraph or presenting in French is a different skill from passing a vocabulary quiz. It needs planned practice.
You don't need to speak French to help. Plenty of parents don't. A tutor can explain the homework, so evenings stop turning into a battle over instructions neither of you can read.
Sessions follow your child's own coursework, not a separate curriculum.
Share your child's grade, the French course if there is one, and what's been tricky lately, such as speaking, a unit test, homework or an oral presentation.
Our matching process pairs students with a tutor suited to their grade and level. You can also request a specific tutor, subject to availability.
Assignments, test review or oral practice. Sessions follow what your child is working on in class.
Sessions run live over Google Meet or Zoom. Scheduling and rescheduling are handled through the student portal.
