Q: Are group French classes better than private lessons?
A: There are many ways to skin a croissant, and the best way to learn French very much depends on the individual. There are two main ways of learning French:
- Route one: Choosing a French school that offers French classes at a set time and location. These large classes are a great way to meet other people who share your love of all things French.
- Route two: Arranging a French tutor to come to a location of your choice to teach you individually or in small groups. This is the service VoulezVouloz provides.

Lessons
Featured tutor: Francine
We especially appreciated how she tailored each class to challenge us at different levels, combining reading comprehension, complex business concepts, and engaging games that made learning grammar both enjoyable and effective.
Anaïs created a truly bespoke program based on our goals, helping us build our business vocabulary, better understand the differences between written and spoken French, and giving us the confidence to push ourselves and make mistakes in a supportive, encouraging environment.
In just a few months, we progressed quickly to more advanced concepts thanks to her thoughtful methodology and guidance. We also greatly appreciated Anaïs’s patience with our accents—mastering French pronunciation is often much more challenging than it appears.
Working with Anaïs has been an outstanding experience, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to develop their French in a structured, engaging, and highly personalized way.
