One-on-One Classes

 

Do you live far* from the Alliance?

Do you need flexibility to accomodate a busy schedule?

Do you feel that you will benefit more from learning at your home or workplace?

French over Skype is probably the best solution for you.

One-on-one classes are perfect for addressing specific needs, brushing up on existing skills, preparing for a specific occasion or enjoying conversations with a native French speaker. Our teachers work with you to understand your objectives and design a personalized curriculum.

All you need is a webcam, a headset and Skype installed on your computer.  

*Classes can only be given in the areas of Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis.

Skype rates are the same as private lesson rates. Please see our private lessons page for prices.

How To Register

You may register online (see link below), over the phone or in person. Please allow five business days to process your file.

Our course administrator will transfer your request to an available teacher, who will call you or contact you by email. If you are waitlisted or we can not find a teacher available according to your schedule, our educational assistant will contact you.

New students with prior knowledge of French should complete our placement test and submit it along with their registration. This test will be given to the instructor once classes have been set up. Current AFDC students do not need to take a placement test.
