How do I choose a quality tutor?
Tutors with teaching experience
Experienced tutors are often quicker to identify problems their students are having in learning. Such tutors are also more likely to have worked with students with different backgrounds and personalities. However, it may still be worthwhile to try out tutors with less experience, especially if something about their background or experience catches your eye.
Tutors with certifications
Other than teaching experience, you can also choose tutors who are certified instructors. Aside from indicating proficiency in the language that the tutor teaches, such certifications are a sign that the tutor understands how to help students to maximize their learning.
Can lessons be customized for students?
Before students take their first lesson, we encourage them to discuss their learning needs and goals with their tutors. This helps give you a feel for what to expect, and is also a great opportunity for you to see if a tutor is suitable for you.

Love the dialogue! We are talking so much in French now and Pauline transcribes everything which is helping me bridge the gap between vocabulary and grammar memorization to really using it to converse. Pauline also gave me suggestions on what to do while in France. She is helping me improve so much and I can’t wait to use my skills!

to Lily: Master in Francophone Literature 😉 Conversation Expert 😍 Grammar 😎
June 12th 2026

Today, we officially completed all the A1 content with the best French teacher, Lily. This was definitely not an easy journey — the A1 course alone took around 60 classes, not even including the 16 pronunciation classes that came before it. It was certainly challenging at first, and the pace might feel slow for those looking for quick results (I believe Lily can adjust this based on your needs). But this approach worked perfectly for me — I have always believed that the key to mastering a language is not speed, but gradual and immersive learning. That is why I never regretted dedicating 16 classes to pronunciation; without that foundation, the entire A1 journey would have been so much harder. I also deeply appreciated how Lily covered EVERY single section of the material — not just grammar, but also reading, listening, vocabulary, speaking, and sometimes even writing assignments. She was always happy to slow down and work through the details with me. Each class began with a review before introducing new material, and over time, this immersive rhythm quietly pushed my French forward. Now, I can read French posts on social media, catch bits of French songs, order and shop in French, and even write simple stories using A1 structures and vocabulary. I look forward to continuing this journey with Lily into A2 — not only because she is professional, kind, and patient, but because she is truly the one who took me from a complete beginner to the next level of French.

Q3. How do I choose my French tutor?

If you have a clear idea of your criteria for choosing a tutor - such as any specific learning objectives, target cost for tutoring, etc. - you can use the search function to quickly find a tutor who suits your needs, and select “book trial” to set up your first French online lesson.

If you don't have time to find a tutor or aren't sure where to start, we can help with recommendations. Try using our tutor recommendation tool here, which will provide you with tutor matches according to your selected needs.
Q4. What's the right learning environment for me? Should I choose a French tutor who is a native speaker?

One of the best ways to learn French is to immerse yourself in an environment where you try to use only French.

However, if you do not currently have a solid base in spelling and/or vocabulary, we recommend you choose a bilingual tutor who speaks your target language and your native language, as you will likely have a better learning experience during your one-on-one private tutoring.

If you have a good range of vocabulary but lack the opportunity to practice, then we recommend you choose a native French tutor.
Q5. Learn French in the US - how do I find a local or online tutor?

You're in the right place. We have local French tutors serving New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and most other areas nationwide, as well as numerous tutors based internationally.
Q6. How much will my online French class cost?

All tutoring fees are set by the French tutors themselves, and not by AT. Most of our French tutors charge USD$10-30 per hour.

You can also get matched with suitable French tutors who fit a specific budget. If the tutor’s fees work for you, you can buy a lesson package from them or start with a “trial lesson.”
Q7. How do I pay for my French lessons?

You can pay with PayPal or credit card (American Express, Mastercard, or Visa). For certain international markets (e.g. Taiwan), we also accept local methods of payment, such as payment via ATM or convenience store.
Q8. How many French lessons should I purchase?

If you have a short term goal, we recommend you purchase enough lessons that you can take classes consistently within your timeframe. If you need significant improvement to reach your goal, we recommend you an adequate number of lessons, and get into the habit of regular weekly learning! The more you put in, the more you get out of it!
Q9. What if I have more questions?
