Trial class

A trial class is a good idea if you are looking for a thorough evaluation of your French skills and to define your goal scope. You can also choose this option before purchasing a 12-hour package if you hesitate between private lessons and a group course.

To schedule a trial class, please fill the form below "Request for Private classes" or contact us. Payment will be required once the class is scheduled with a teacher and at least 24 hours before the trial class is held.

Our rates are:

• Trial class (1 hour) : $74.  

• Trial class (1h30) : $111.  

• Trial class (1h30) at your home/office (*) : Please contact us.
