Frequently asked questions
FAQ OF OUR PROGRAMS
YES! This is exactly who French Mastery Program is for. Many francophone children speak beautifully but never learned to read/write because they’re in English schools. We teach academic literacy starting from Grande Section (learning to read) through 3ème (full literacy mastery).
It depends on their French speaking level. If they can hold a basic conversation in French (even with mistakes), yes! We’ll assess their level and place them appropriately. If they’re in French school but cannot speak French yet (struggling immersion student), they may need French Discovery Program first to build speaking fluency. Book a FREE assessment – we’ll tell you honestly which program is best.
No! They need to be conversationally functional – meaning they can:
– Understand spoken French
– Answer basic questions in French
– Express their needs and ideas (even with grammar errors)
We teach them to become fluent readers, writers, and academic French masters. Speaking fluency will improve naturally as we work.
Perfect for this program! Accent doesn’t matter. Grammar mistakes are normal and exactly what we fix through academic instruction. If they can communicate in French, we can teach them academic excellence.
Likely the French Mastery Program if they still speak French conversationally. Many children learn French from nannies/caregivers 0-5 years, then lose it without academic support. Our French Mastery Program (FLAM) formalizes and maintains that early language acquisition. We’ll assess to confirm!
The number of classes for one unit can vary depending on the child’s progress, but typically it ranges from 4 to 20 classes.
We assess students’ progress after every 10 units with a review to check their understanding. If necessary, we revisit key concepts before moving on to the next unit.
We send progress reports once a year. These reports provide an overview of their achievements, areas of improvement, and next steps in their learning journey.
We recommend that students have a pen and a notebook during class to practice writing. This allows them to take notes and complete any written exercises as part of their learning.
