How to choose a good French tutor online by Skype?

If you’ve decided to learn French online by Skype with a private tutor, you’ve made the right decision. It’s a convenient and affordable way to quickly improve your French.

However, make sure you select the right teacher and the right French school to avoid bad surprises. There are a few criteria to take into account:
1. The French tutor’s qualification and experience. The ideal French online tutor should have a background that is suitable for teaching French as a foreign language.
2. The French teacher’s ability to communicate at your level. If you’re a beginner, the tutor should be able to pass on explanations in your mother tongue or at least in English.
3. The tutor’s accent. Your French tutor should speak with a clear and neutral accent.
4. The working hours and schedule flexibility. You should be able to book lessons easily, at your convenience. Be careful with the time difference to see if it’s compatible with your availability.
5. the French school management. Is the French tutor by Skype you selected supervised or is he on his own? It’s a lot more reliable to go through a French online school than through an individual who set up a webpage.
6. The rapport you develop with your teacher. Learning French should be a pleasure and your teacher should be nice and encouraging. If your teacher helps you in a friendly way, you will be more likely to improve your French and won’t be scared to talk.

At Live-French.net, we have a small team of online French tutors that are carefully selected. They all have the French nationality (or Belgian!), they hold university degrees in education or French or similar subjects, and above all, they are trained to adapt to the online learning environment.
