The Easiest Way To Learn French

We offer in person classes, private lessons and online french classes for people of all ages and backgrounds

Two ways to pay — pick what suits you
Option 1 · Monthly Plans Lowest hourly rate
Our best rates. Programs start with a 12-week contract, then continue month-to-month. You pay month by month — never the full 12 weeks up front.
See monthly plans ↓
Option 2 · Packs of Hours No contract
Buy a block of 10 or 15 hours up front and complete it in consecutive weeks. A shorter commitment at a slightly higher hourly rate.

Rescheduling & missed classes

Private classes

Private classes can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours’ notice. Up to 3 consecutive classes may be rescheduled at one time.

Group classes

Group classes run on a fixed schedule, so they don’t have rescheduling or make-up classes. If you miss one, you’ll still receive all the material covered in class and all the homework, so you can catch up before the next session. Online group classes are also recorded — you can watch the class back in full. We don’t record in-person classes.

How to sign up for a pack

Packs are registered manually, so they can’t be booked through the website. Call, text or email us with the pack you want and we’ll send you a custom registration link to reserve your class times.

If you’ve studied French before

You’ll need a level assessment first — you can book your level assessment here.

For private classes, this lets us build a customized plan so your first class is already matched to your level and goals. For group classes, it lets us place you in a group that’s genuinely at your level.

If you’re a complete beginner

No assessment needed. For private classes, send us your availability and the pack you’d like — we’ll send scheduling options, then your registration link.

For group classes, view our current beginner groups below, then tell us which group and pack you want.

Most of our students work Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 — so the large majority of our group classes run in the evenings and on weekends. We have limited morning group options.

Classes for French Certifications & Exams

The speaking portion of the TEF Exam is conducted as a face-to-face interview, is 15 minutes long, will be based on two topics, and is designed to test your verbal French fluency, pronunciation, and vocabulary.

During our TEF exam preparation classes, your instructor will go over previous topics used in speaking exams and practice with you. You will receive feedback on all aspects that are judged on the actual exam and will be given advice on how you can improve. 

At French Language Solutions, we provide specialized preparation to help students succeed in regular coursework, French immersion programs, or final exams. No matter what grade level or exam your child needs help with, we are here to help you succeed.

Our native French-speaking instructors are familiar with curriculums and testing used for all age groups. We work closely with students to reinforce key concepts, improve grammar and vocabulary, and build confidence for specific exams.

French Language Solutions offers specialized tutoring and exam preparation to help you excel in your university language courses. We help students of all levels and are familiar with university curriculums. We will take you through practice exams that focus on, grammar, complex vocabulary, literary analysis, and oral presentations.

Many public service jobs in Canada require candidates to complete a Second Language Evaluation for French. This evaluation tests your ability to speak, write, and read in French. 

If you need to take this test for a job, our French instructors are here to help you prepare. We are familiar with the framework and requirements of the Second Language Evaluation. We will be able to help you prepare and pass this exam with confidence.

Frequently Ask Questions

The number of classes you’ll need depends on your current proficiency level and the specific requirements of the exam or certification you’re preparing for. During your initial meeting with us, our instructors will assess your skills and goals to recommend a personalized study plan. Some students may only need a few sessions for targeted review, while others may benefit from a more extended preparation period.

The choice between private and group classes depends on your learning preferences and goals. Private classes offer personalized, one-on-one instruction that can be focussed on your exams/certifications. Group classes, on the other hand, provide a collaborative learning environment where you can practice with peers and benefit from shared experiences. Both formats are effective, and our instructors can help you decide which option is best for your situation.
