French lessons: price per hour for adults

French is widely taught in Fitzrovia, through adult education centres, the Alliance Française and Institut français in the larger cities, and many private tutors. In person, expect £25 to £40 an hour; a term of evening classes costs around £150 to £300.

Online, native tutors from France, Belgium, Switzerland or Canada start at about £10 to £15 an hour. Conversation lessons for adults who learnt French at school are among the most popular, and progress is quick once the old vocabulary comes back.

DELF, DALF and TCF: French certificates for adults

The DELF (A1 to B2) and the DALF (C1 and C2) are the official French diplomas, valid for life. The TCF and TEF are tests often used for French nationality, which requires a B2 level, and for immigration to Canada.

Exam sessions run at the Institut français in London and at approved centres in other cities in London. A tutor trains you on the format: written summaries, letters and a structured oral presentation.

Buying property or retiring to France: French that works

Many learners in Fitzrovia prepare for life in France: dealing with the notaire, the mairie, tradespeople, the doctor and neighbours. A tutor can build lessons around real documents, phone calls and the vocabulary of property and administration.

French takes English speakers around 600 to 750 hours for professional fluency. Two lessons a week, French radio or podcasts and a French conversation group, often run by twinning associations, keep you progressing.

French tutors by video call: you choose a native or qualified tutor of this language, book a first lesson at a low price, then set your own pace.

French tutors: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week all year round

The most common pace among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A final push before an exam

Three or four sessions a week for one to two months, focused on the format of the test, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation to build confidence

No textbook: you talk about your day, the news or your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

French tutors in Fitzrovia: frequently asked questions

Can I relearn the French I studied at school?

Yes, and faster than you think: vocabulary and grammar come back quickly with conversation lessons. A tutor will assess your level in the first lesson and focus on speaking.

What level of French do I need for French nationality?

French nationality requires an official B2 level in French, proved by a recognised test such as the TCF or a DELF B2 diploma. Check the latest rules before booking.

Where can I find French conversation classes for adults?

Look at adult education centres, the Alliance Française in your area, twinning associations and libraries. Online tutors offer conversation-only lessons at any time of day.
