French 4 Tutoring FAQ
After years of studying the French language, you have amassed a comprehensive foundation of grammatical forms, vocabulary, and cultural knowledge. In French 4, you will be faced with the complexities of the subjunctive mood, many tense forms, and often-labyrinthine subordination of relative clauses. In addition to this, your reading repertoire will start to become filled with true French literature, no longer utilizing the simplified stories and conversations of earlier years of study. Much longer selections of native French literature thus present you with a host of new challenges. However, you do not need to face the rigors of these difficult studies alone. Contact Varsity Tutors today to discuss the French 4 tutoring options available for your French success!

By helping you interact with the French literature and culture that are such critical aspects of your French studies, your tutor can aid your further immersion in the complexities of using French at a high level of verbal and literary mastery. In addition, if you are preparing for a placement exam or to take AP French, your tutor can be an indispensable guide in helping you prepare for the rigors and particular obstacles that you'll be facing. By providing you with an active interlocutor for your language studies, he or she can help you gain the needed grammatical, cultural, and textual skills that you must master to reach your goals.

They may do this by offering in-person meetings at any location you select, including coffee shops, campuses, libraries, or your home.

Recent French 4 Tutoring Session Notes
We reviewed the formation of the Subjunctive and the 3 main uses. We practiced the irregular forms and some of the Impersonal expressions. We also looked at the chapter 1 test and how to go about finding the material to complete it. By using email, the student will be able to consult me if there are difficulties with the test.
The student needed some help catching up with her French class, so we worked on quiz preparation. The majority of class was spent reading an article and answering the following questions. The last 10 minutes were spent briefly going over the imperative verb tense. From this work I felt that working on French vocabulary would be beneficial to her as at times she misunderstood sentences because she would take the words she knew and form an idea around them. If the pivotal point was in an unknown verb or noun, the sentence was misunderstood. To correct this, I would recommend more reading and talking in French. She is a very hardworking student and tried to understand everything presented and even wrote down new French phrases I used when talking. She is very proactive about her learning, and I feel she will catch up in no time!
Covered subjunctive conjugation of irregular verbs, when to use subjunctive, and practice problems surrounding subjunctive, future conjugation, and 'si' clauses. The student did well employing the concepts covered; I have confidence that with practice subjunctive will become much easier.
We were able to cover a lot of material in a short amount of time. The student is currently a junior at a university and is in a French 4 class. She is very interested in World Languages and her level of French is very good. She is looking to fill in some gaps that she has after returning from a semester abroad and being placed at a higher level than she anticipated. She had very detailed questions. She informed me in advance of what she wanted to cover and this helped me greatly in preparing the lesson.
The student and I completed her homework assignment, in which she had to read an excerpt from a French book and answer questions about it. We worked through the text, identifying and clarifying verb tenses, pronouns, prepositions, and unfamiliar vocabulary, and she was able to successfully answer the questions.
This week, the student and I worked on an essay assignment for the book she has been reading in class, Tharese Desqueyroux. We read and translated the essay prompt together and discussed how it applied to the novel. We were able to come up with an outline for her essay. She wrote topic sentences for the different parts of her essay in French, and then we corrected them together. We also looked for quotes in the text, and were able to find some useful quotes that she will use in her essay.
