Why Learn with Sophie French Tutor?

I'm Sophie, based in Melbourne, and with my team of native French teachers based in Australia and Europe, we're your biggest cheerleaders on this language journey. Since 2013, I've been helping adults (and VCE students) speak French with confidence, not fear.

ā€‹

Here's what makes learning with us different:

ā€‹

  • Native-speaking expertise with a friendly, Aussie approach

  • Small groups (max 6) or private lessons tailored to you

  • Real conversation practice—no stuffy textbook drills

  • Flexible online & in-person options to suit your life

ā€‹

Whether you're a total beginner or brushing up before a trip to Paris, you'll feel supported, never judged. We meet you where you are, keep things relaxed, and make sure you're actually speaking French—not just memorising lists.

Bring French immersion to your learning practice

Mockup of the free Checklist du francais tous les jours, a checklist to help you practice French every day, on Notion and as a Google Doc

Practicing a language daily is crucial for improving your skills and maintaining your progress.

Logging your practice sessions helps you track your progress and stay motivated.

 

By incorporating a variety of resources and practice methods, such as listening to podcasts, watching films and TV shows, reading books and articles, and engaging in conversation or writing, you can work on different aspects of language learning and develop a well-rounded set of skills. Keep things interesting by trying out different resources until you find what works best for you.
