Gateway Tutoring Academy provides university French tutoring for students who want more focused support with their coursework, assignments, language development and exam preparation.
We support university students through all French levels, with in-person tutoring available in Vancouver, Burnaby and Victoria and online French tutoring available across Canada.
Personalized French Tutoring
University French courses vary widely .An introductory French course for a student completing a language requirement is very different from an upper-level course in French literature or linguistics. Our native-French speaking tutors can customize your tutoring sessions based around your course and the areas you need the most help with.
Our tutors can help student review, better understand, and study:
- Lecture notes
- Assigned readings
- Grammar exercises
- Writing assignments
- Professor feedback
- Oral presentation requirements
- Test and exam material
Gateway's general approach is to align tutoring with each student's course rather than using the same program for every learner.
Speaking and Oral Presentation Support
Having to present in your first language can already feel stressful. Having to present in another language can feel like another level of challenge.
If you are nervous about having to speak in French for a University course, we are here to help. Our private tutoring creates more time to practise and build your confidence.
In sessions, we can help you with:
- Conversation
- Pronunciation
- Oral responses
- Presentation rehearsalVocabulary for a specific topic
- Question-and-answer practice
- Speaking without relying on a written script
- And more.
French Test and Final Exam Preparation
University French exams may test several skills at once. Depending on the course, an exam may include, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, listening, writing, and speaking. It can be difficult for students to prioritize what to focus on when preparing.
Tutoring can help you organize exam preparation around the format of your actual course. Rather than reviewing everything equally, your tutor can identify which areas need the most work and help you build a realistic study plan. Students can bring previous quizzes, practice exams, course outlines and professor feedback to identify recurring problems before the final.
Online University French Tutoring Across Canada
University schedules can make regular in-person tutoring difficult.Students may have classes spread throughout the day, labs, work commitments or long commutes. That is why Gateway offers
online French tutoring across Canada.
Online sessions can use shared documents, digital resources and live conversation to work through the same material you would cover in person. This can make it easier to schedule tutoring around lectures and other university commitments.
