If your student is studying French and could use some support, reach out to Varsity Tutors to get them started with 8th grade French tutoring. We can connect your student with an expert private instructor who has the required skills and knowledge to help them strive for their goals. Your student can meet with an academic mentor either online or in-person based on their needs. Whether your student needs assistance with French grammar or they're interested in learning more about French history, a quality instructor can offer guidance.
There are a variety of advantages to studying with 8th grade French tutors that your student may not be able to get studying in a classroom or on their own. Studying with a personal mentor enables your student to choose which topics they want to prioritize. If they are having a tough time memorizing irregular conjugations, for example, they can spend as much time going over it with their instructor as they need to before moving on to any other concepts. This may not be possible in a traditional classroom, because teachers often have to cover a certain number of concepts in a limited timeframe. As such, they may not be able to spend much time on any one topic.
As with many other languages, becoming proficient often involves engaging in consistent practice. This can particularly be the case when learning how to speak and understand spoken French. This can be difficult to do in a classroom setting because your student may not have a lot of opportunities to practice their speaking skills.
Studying on their own could also present a challenge, because they may not have anyone to talk to. Working with an academic mentor can provide them with all the practice they need, as they will be the only student working with their instructor during a session. For more advanced students, a personal mentor can hold conversations with them completely in French so they can gain experience both speaking it and listening to it. Their private instructor can identify their interests and talk to them about them in French. This can help keep your student engaged with the language.
It is a common misconception that only students who are having difficulty in a class can benefit from private instruction. This isn't necessarily the case. Even students who are doing well in their classes can find it advantageous. If your student is especially interested in a particular aspect of French culture or history, they can do a more in-depth analysis of it with their personal mentor, which can help them become more deeply invested in the French language and French culture. Being able to study at their own pace could enable them to get ahead of the class and prepare for upcoming material.
There are numerous different ways your student could choose to study. Their private instructor can identify their learning strengths early on so that they can develop a study plan that works for them. If your student is a visual learner notecards and pictures could be a good way to review French vocabulary words, while an auditory learner might prefer holding regular conversations.
