IB French SL tutoring that improves grades

At Edmento, lessons start from £15 an hour. Across the UK, IB French SL tutoring costs vary with the tutor's experience, the level and how much exam and Individual Oral support is included. We start with a free consultation and a trial lesson, with no large upfront package, so you can judge the value before committing.

It usually is when lessons target the specific reasons your child is losing marks. Every point counts towards the IB total out of 45 that university offers depend on, so closing gaps in French can make a real difference. The trial lesson lets you judge before committing.

As soon as you notice something slipping: a low predicted grade, a disappointing mock or confidence dropping. DP1 gives the most room to fix gaps properly, but DP2 students still make real progress with focused lessons, especially before predicted grades are set.

Once a week suits most students: enough to close gaps steadily and keep momentum alongside a busy IB workload. Some move to twice a week before mocks or the final exams. We'll suggest a frequency based on your child's starting point, target and time available.

It can, though no honest tutor guarantees a result. Progress comes from fixing the specific gaps and technique problems that cost marks, practising regularly and getting feedback. We track progress and share updates, so you can see whether it's working.

It depends on their current level, strengths and university plans. Students with strong prior French often take HL, while SL suits those who want French in their Diploma but plan to focus their HL choices elsewhere. We can talk it through during the free consultation.

Usually because the exam uses authentic French texts and audio at natural speed, and the oral asks them to speak without a script. Gaps in grammar and vocabulary show up quickly. Regular speaking, listening and writing practice with feedback fixes this.

Yes. Ab initio is a beginners' course offered at SL only, for students with little or no previous French. Tell us during the free consultation which course your child is taking and we'll match them with a tutor who knows it.

Yes. Tutors run realistic practice orals based on a visual stimulus linked to the course themes, helping your child build ideas, vocabulary and confidence for the conversation. The oral must be your child's own, so we guide and give feedback rather than script it for them.

Lessons happen live, 1-to-1, over video. Lessons are spoken in French as much as your child is ready for, written work goes into a shared document the tutor corrects live, and listening and reading practice is played and worked through together on screen. Your child needs a laptop or tablet and a quiet space; many families find it easier than travelling to lessons.

We match on subject, level (SL), your child's needs and their personality, and look for tutors who know the current IB syllabus and assessment. After the free assessment we suggest a tutor, and your child has a trial lesson so you can both judge the fit before committing.

Yes. You can receive lesson feedback and progress updates, and your Student Success Manager is available whenever you have a question or concern.

Tell your Student Success Manager and we'll find a better match. It happens occasionally, and it's easy to fix.
