- Our groups are designed to support primary school children learn French on top of the private tutoring options.
- These groups are divided by academic skills corresponding to key concepts learnt at school (reading, writing, grammar, etc). These concepts are linked to certain age groups.
- However each child is different. So he/she may feel better in a different group than the one indicated for his/her age. The level of French will also make a big difference. This is to be discussed with the teacher at the time of joining.
- French will be spoken as much as possible in each group.
- All groups are children only
