French Tutoring
The tutoring service is offered in person or online via Zoom. The process remains the same. For online tutoring sessions, tutors will send the link before the meeting to access the tutoring session.
La Cité offers tutoring services for French learners. With your tutor’s assistance, you’ll be able to expand your knowledge and achieve better results in your courses. In a tutoring session, you can:
- Review grammatical concepts
- Practice spoken French
- Receive advice on the structure and syntax of your assignments
Note that tutors cannot correct or do your assignments or prepare lessons.
