French tutoring FAQ
What does an online French tutor help with?
A French teacher can work on listening, speaking, reading, and writing — the four strands Ontario's French curriculum is graded on — plus pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and the writing tasks set in the student's own course.
How much does an online French tutor cost?
Rates vary by teacher and are shown on each teacher's card and profile.
Are Genie French teachers certified teachers?
Each Genie profile lists the teaching certifications that teacher has on file. On the French roster those include Ontario College of Teachers certification with an Additional Qualification in Languages, and Quebec's Brevet d'enseignement, so families can check the credentials before choosing.
Which French programs and courses do you cover?
Teachers cover Ontario's three French as a Second Language programs, which run from Grade 1 to Grade 12: Core French (FSF1D, FSF2D, FSF3U, FSF4U), Extended French (FEF1D to FEF4U), and French Immersion (FIF1D to FIF4U). Each teacher profile lists the grades that teacher covers.
Can a French teacher help a child in French Immersion?
Yes. When an immersion student's marks slip, the gap is often in the subject rather than in the French, so a teacher checks which one it is before deciding what to practise.
How is a certified teacher different from a regular French tutor?
A certified teacher is trained to teach a curriculum and assess it, not only to speak the language. Each Genie profile lists the teaching certifications that teacher has on file, so families can compare credentials before choosing.
