No matter why you are studying French, Varsity Tutors can help you maximize your learning efforts by helping you identify and get started with the right Memphis French lessons for your situation. Whether you're studying French as a student of a secondary school such as the Harding Academy of Memphis or the Lausanne Collegiate School or you're pursuing a degree at an institution of higher education like the University of Memphis, mastering a new language is tough. If you want to become fluent in French, you will need to spend time outside of your academic classes to make progress. To maximize the time you spend working to improve your language skills, you should consider leveraging professional resources such as French lessons.
Studying French in school is an excellent investment of your time in academia. Learning the language opens up a vast network of career possibilities. French is spoken by around 300 million people worldwide, and it is considered the second most influential language in the world market. It is second only behind English, and knowing how to speak both can be invaluable when it comes to communicating on an international level.
Beyond the academic and career opportunities available to those who learn French, it is also a popular language to learn because it is the language of culture, romance, beauty, and refinement. If you want to travel to France or any French-speaking country and truly immerse yourself in the cultural experience, learning French is a must. Contrary to popular belief, learning a language later in life is not significantly more challenging than learning it while you are still in school. If you want to learn French before a dream vacation or to enjoy cultural and historical resources more fully, French lessons can help.
Continue reading to discover what French lessons can help you with, how to know which types of lessons will work best for you, and how Varsity Tutors can help you get started.
What skills can Memphis French lessons help me learn?
Your French lessons can help you work to improve your skill in all areas of the French language. If you need help as a new student with learning the basics of the language such as accented letters, vocabulary, pronunciation, nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and tenses French lessons can make the process easier. If you're a more advanced student who is working on adjective agreement in gender and number, past perfect or past conditional, relative pronouns, nominalization, complex relative pronouns, or fluency in speaking, reading, or writing, working with a professional instructor can be invaluable.
How can enrolling in a class for Memphis French lessons help me learn the language?
Enrolling in a class for additional French lessons provides you with the support of a fluent French instructor who has been vetted to ensure you are working with someone who is not only skilled in the language but who is also an effective communicator. Your teacher will provide a structured learning environment and a regimented curriculum to help you work on improving your French language skills.
Because classes are a group environment, you also gain the support of peers with similar language learning goals. You can practice speaking and listening with a wide array of individuals, which can help you improve your auditory comprehension and verbal communication skills.
All classes are taught in an online environment, which makes it easy to attend from anywhere you happen to be as long as you have a stable internet connection. This can save you valuable time while still allowing you to have all of the benefits of an interactive classroom experience.
How is working with a Memphis French tutor different from taking a class?
Working with a Memphis French tutor gives you a more personalized learning experience. Working one-on-one with an instructor gives them time to get to know your language learning goals, your linguistic ability, and where the language is most challenging for you. This information can be utilized in the creation of lesson plans which would inform the pace and rhythm of your individual sessions. As you grow in your language abilities, your private instructor can pivot and adapt based on your new needs and challenges so your French lessons can evolve with you. This level of custom instruction is impossible in a classroom setting where the teacher must follow a curriculum designed to maximize the learning potential of an entire class.
While working with a private instructor, you also have a greater ability to speak and listen to the language. While this can be accomplished to some extent in a class setting, you will have more personal feedback and opportunities for dedicated practice when you work individually with a tutor. Private lessons also give you more opportunities to ask questions to help refine your technique.
Another important difference between enrolling in a class and private tutoring is in the way lessons are scheduled. Classes are designed with arbitrary schedules. This is the most efficient method to allow all students to plan their personal schedules in advance around the session times they choose. While there are a wide variety of session times available, they are not always convenient for every student. If you find yourself unable to attend a class, you may want to opt for private lessons that can be scheduled throughout the week and on weekends during the morning, afternoon, or evening hours.

...students particularly enjoy (and benefit from) learning and exploring new cultures while learning the language itself. As the child of a teacher I am a strong believer in the importance of education and all of the opportunities it offers to students. I finished my MA in May with a thesis on French fairy tales, but I also enjoy reading as much as I can, spending time with my family, and neighborhood trivia tournaments.... I find that getting to know a student and their individual interests greatly improves their experience and hopefully their interests in the subject. Foreign languages offer plenty of opportunities for varied interests, whether they're sports, music, movies or nearly anything else! Incorporating these interests into lessons makes learning more enjoyable and more beneficial to the student.
