Learning French in NYC is an amazing experience for those interested. My name is Marie Demene and I’m a french tutor in NYC. If you are serious about hiring a tutor for learning, I recommend that you follow these simple steps to ensure a good experience:
- Start looking for a tutor as soon as you realize you need one. A hurried last minute search will not allow you much time to properly screen a prospective tutor. Sites like craigslist offer a tutoring category for easy search.
- Have a good idea of what qualifications you are looking for and what kind of help you need.
- Ask for a resume – Resumes are a great way to showcase your skills.
- Ask the tutor for their references (preferably other tutoring clients).
- Conduct an interview, preferably over the phone. You may also want to meet with a tutor for one or more tutoring sessions before committing yourself to a regular schedule. This will help you avoid costly mistakes.
- Be prepared to pay a tutor what they are worth. Tutor’s fees alter based on two factors: the level of education they have and the level of experience in teaching french.
- NYC offers a many opportunities for practicing french at no cost. There are several clubs in the city where people meet over coffee simply to practice their french. Do a web search and best of luck in your learning!

Remember, learning is not only about acquiring information, but its about enriching your life with new experiences for personal and professional development.

Help answer the question about french tutoring
French Tutoring? ?I'm really interested in learning how to speak French, and I was supposed to be in a class for it this year, but there wasn't a teacher for it.
Is there any other way I can learn the language without waiting a year, which isn't even guaranteed, or using translators that aren't even that good?

c’est tres difficult, de francaise language, je sais francaise poco et j’aime france
hi, thank you for your comment, you see, if I speak slower, I garanty you that you won’t understand a word once in France or in a French speaking country, to speak slower is not going to help you. Try to focus first on what you hear, then have a look at the writing, but first what you hear and repeat it again and again. I watched some lessons with people speaking slowly in French, really nobody speaks like that and it won’t be a help, you will say, I worked hard and I understand nothing!!!
you should really try to speak much slower for people who are trying to learn on their own
moi aussi, je suis enchanté
In my opinion, when you're offering to tutor a child in a skill in which you excel (i.e. a language, musical instrument, etc.) it is reasonable to ask more than were you tutoring a subject (math, history, etc.). Although French could be considered a subject, the child could put that on their resume when they apply for a job, so it's a skill.
Anywhere between double and triple minimum wage (or above) is more than reasonable. I suggest you search for some teaching techniques to keep the child feeling involved and enjoying the lessons while making sure they have work to do to help them progress. I taught music lessons to a 5, 8, and 11-year-old. Kids are great to teach, and they learn extremely fast and efficiently when they enjoy what they're learning.
I'd also suggest getting the parents involved in the learning process. Teach them some simple phrases so that the child doesn't feel he's going at it alone. (I think you probably understand that speaking a language regularly, or in the home, is key to learning the language).
Perhaps the child's parents will offer to pay you more when they see you doing a great job.
Look at other people's posts about French. I left an answer to this girl's question. Check out older and newer posts about French
So you wanna learn French? I can give you a few phrases:
Bonjour= Hello / Good day
Bonsoir= Good evening
Bonne nuit=Good night.
Salut=Hi / Bye
Au revoir=Goodbye
Je t'aime=I love you

Put a note on the board in the student union.
sometimes online is tiring just being sitted and learning thorugh out,i recommend you a new published french book(let's learn french) explained in english with french pronunciation words that you can review anywhere at anytime,easy and fast to learn with or without the help of the french teacher,just take a look,i think you'll like the handy book!
I know it sounds silly, but it works! Try using Dr. Seuss books. The vocabulary is basic and universal. Ease into more difficult books as you gain confidence in your new language.
Good luck!
