Reach out to Varsity Tutors if taking Dayton French lessons is something that you think you could derive benefit from. If you are a student studying in one of the high schools in the Dayton area, such as Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School or Stivers School for the Arts, you may be required to take French in order to fulfill your general education requirements. Taking French lessons can help you keep up with what you are studying in school. It can also allow you to go beyond what you are being taught in your high school French classes and discover new aspects of the French language and French culture.
Adult learners who are studying French or are interested in learning a new language, in general, can also benefit from taking French lessons. If you are applying to a university or college in the Dayton area, such as the University of Dayton, taking French lessons can help you get accepted. It will make your college application look better.
French is a commonly spoken language. It is estimated that after English, it is the second most commonly spoken language in the world. Almost 300 million people around the world can speak or understand French. Being able to understand French can help you in many ways. You can speak to new people from around the world, read French literature, listen in to French radio, and enjoy French music. If you are interested in foreign cuisine, knowing French can give you a deeper understanding of French foods.
French isn't only spoken in France. Other countries, such as Belgium, Switzerland, and Canada have large French-speaking populations. There are also former French colonies where French is widely spoken and understood, especially by older people. If you ever plan on traveling to Canada or to another foreign country, being able to speak French can help you connect with locals and with fellow travelers. In addition, it can help you connect with foreign French speakers traveling to your area.
What skills will I learn when taking Dayton French lessons?
Studying a new language can be tough, especially if you never studied a foreign language before. You have to study new spelling rules, new pronunciation rules, and new grammar rules. It can be frustrating trying to grasp the correct pronunciation of difficult worlds. Often, it can be difficult to find someone who you can practice your French with, especially if you do not know anyone who can speak it. That is where French lessons can come in handy.
Group lessons give you an opportunity to study French together with other students who are also interested in becoming fluent in the language. Our group classes take place over the internet. This gives you flexibility and convenience, as you can take these classes on a schedule that works for you and attend them from your own home. At the same time, they are administered in a virtual classroom. This gives you the opportunity to join in on group discussions with fellow students. It's a great opportunity to practice your French. Practicing the foreign language you are studying can help you become fluent quicker.
French is a complicated language. It has many rules and structures that are important to know if you want to speak it correctly. Your class instructor can focus on some of these rules. For example, they may teach you about accented letters, si + tenses, nominalization, and time words and phrases, such as depuis, pendant, and il y a.
If you opt to take one-on-one French lessons with a private Dayton French tutor, you can focus on the areas of French which you are having difficulty with. For example, some students may struggle to understand specific French language concepts, like verbs that are used to express opinions, such as je crois que and je pense que. Your tutor can create study plans that incorporate materials and passages where those specific concepts come into play. For example, they may use specific French literature passages that use verbs that are used to express opinions.
Studying French with a private French instructor provides a great opportunity to hold discussions entirely in French. Your private language teacher can talk to you on your level, gradually increasing the difficulty of the words used in your conversations as you become more fluent in the language.
How do the two kinds of Dayton French lessons work?
There are two kinds of French lessons you can take. The first is classes. These classes take place over the internet in our virtual classrooms. Students learn French under the instruction of an educated professional. New sections of our French classes start every month, so you won't have to wait long to get started with your online French instruction.
Some students prefer to learn French with a private Dayton French tutor. This gives them an opportunity to learn one-on-one with a fluent French speaker who can focus on improving their weak spots and can give them individualized attention. You can study with your private French instructor through our Live Learning Classroom. This gives you even more flexibility and convenience than a class, as you can schedule French study sessions at times that work best for you. You can do all of this from your home. Some students prefer to study with their private mentor in person, and that's fine. We can connect you with a Dayton language instructor near you who can come to you and study with you one-on-one. You can meet your instructor at your house, at their house, in school during your lunch break, at your office, or wherever else is convenient for you and your instructor.

Outside of academics, I like to create. Sometimes that means baking or knitting, and sometimes that means creating...

Monica: Dayton French lesson instructor
...to build your confidence and success in a variety of subject areas! I am a recent graduate of Miami University with a degree in psychology. In August, I will begin pursuing a doctorate degree in physical therapy at Washington University of St. Louis. I have tutored for several years and specialize in the following topic areas: standardized tests (including the GRE), math, biology and general sciences, psychology, Spanish, and overall study skills.... I think too much emphasis is placed on whether or not we are "good" or "smart" in a certain subject rather than the reality that it is simply about putting in the work and taking the time to understand something. We aren't born knowing how glycolysis works or how to factor an algebraic equation, and we simply have to work to get the information into our brains. My teaching philosophy is about keeping students motivated and confident about their learning skills, and as a result they will be able to tackle whatever assignments or tests that may come their way. I take a positive and optimistic teaching approach, making learning as engaging and as applicable as I can, and catering the lesson to the specific student and their interests. I stay extremely patient for each student in order for them to stay patient with themselves and remain confident.
