  1. Tailored Learning: Qualified teachers create customised courses to address learners’ specific needs. They adapt lessons based on individual learning styles, interests, and areas of difficulty. Unlike rigid online courses or apps, a teacher can respond to urgent requests, such as preparing for a presentation or clarifying challenging grammar concepts. Furthermore, their knowledge of andragogy combined with efficent techniques is something an unqualified tutor might not have.

  2. Personalised Feedback: Experienced teachers adjust their communication style to ensure learners grasp the material. Real-time encouragement and guidance enhance learning, especially when dealing with complex language aspects like subjunctive forms or adjectival endings in the French language.

  3. Cultural Insights: Language learning in Montreal extends beyond vocabulary and grammar. A teacher can share cultural knowledge, such as business etiquette or management styles related to specific vocabulary. This understanding enhances interactions with colleagues and stakeholders.

  4. Real Communication: While apps and exercises are valuable for grammar and vocabulary, practicing speaking and listening skills with a real person who knows how to get you straight to the point is irreplaceable. Teachers facilitate dynamic conversations, whether in person or via platforms like Zoom or Google Meet. They also have specific techniques to give you feedback in an engaging and positive manner.

    Remember that choosing a qualified French tutor can save you time and money in the long run because you benefit from specialised knowledge and skills. 😊
