French courses: three ways to make progress
One lesson a week over the year
The most common rhythm among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you up roughly one level a year, provided you practise a little between lessons.
A sprint before an exam
Three or four lessons a week for one to two months, focused on the exam format, past papers and timing.
Pure conversation to build confidence
No textbook: you talk about your day, the news, your job, and the tutor corrects recurring mistakes as you go.
French courses in East Finchley: common questions
How can I refresh my school French quickly?
Start with conversation lessons rather than grammar drills: a tutor quickly finds what you remember and fills the gaps. Two short sessions a week plus French podcasts bring most people back to a comfortable level in a few months.
Which French exam is best for working in France?
The DELF B2 is widely recognised by employers and never expires. For a residence or citizenship application, French authorities usually accept the TCF or a DELF at the required level.
