Private French Lessons
in NYC, NJ, and Online
L’Alliance New York offers the best immersive French classes available in the US. We pride ourselves on offering students an energetic, engaging atmosphere to create the most favorable environment for learning with us. While some students excel in a class full of like-minded students, for others, the best, most comfortable mode of learning is through private, one-on-one lessons.
Whether you need individualized tutoring for an AP or fluency exam, individual coaching for a performance, or course on the fundamentals of French, private lessons will make learning French effective and fun.
If solo instruction is the best option for you, ditch the language apps and learn French faster with L’Alliance in just two steps. First take the free placement test, then complete the form below to be enrolled for your private instruction.
How Private French Lessons Work
Our outstanding native-speaking teachers offer flexible, fun, and fully immersive private French lessons both in-person and via Zoom. Private individual or semi-private (privately organized groups of 2-10 students) General French lessons utilise the same curriculum of group classes at L’Alliance, but instructors adapt the classes to meet the specific needs and goals of the private student(s). For studens who are seeking instruction and assistance in niche topics, fields, or programs, we offer private Custom French lessons.
Students ages 15 and over can normally cover one sublevel of General French, for example Beginner A1.1, in 12-15 hours of General French private lessons. Similarly, younger students ages 7-15 can normally cover one sublevel of French course for their age group in 8-10 hours of private lessons. Individual results vary.
Custom French is a great option for a entirely customized course adapted to a specific learning goal. Students interested in studying the following subjects would be enrolled for Custom French private classes: as French Business Etiquette, French Diplomacy and International Relations, Legal French / Commercial Laws, French for Travel, French for Fashion, Exam Preparation including AP, SAT, and Regents exams, French Art de Vivre, and more.
The duration of a custom course will depend on the student and subject; upon receiving your request and placement test, we will recommend the hours advisable to complete the course.
