Frequently asked questions

How can I improve my fluency and pronunciation in French?

he key to improving fluency and pronunciation is consistent immersive practice. To polish your pronunciation, we recommend listening to authentic French content such as podcasts, YouTube videos, and TV series. They can help you absorb the language’s natural rhythm, melody, and subtle nuances. At the same time, it is useful to engage with listening exercises designed specifically for the IB French curriculum as they introduce common linguistic patterns.

However, listening is just half the journey. Regular speaking practice is a must to transform passive understanding into active communication skills. If you feel uncomfortable or lack a practice partner, our IB French tutors are here to help. They can guide you in:

  • Mastering useful expressions;
  • Developing structures for various dialogue types;
  • Preparing for different oral presentation scenarios;
  • Building vocabulary for both IB oral assessment and real-world conversations.

Consistent practice is indispensable to overcome language barriers, expand your vocabulary, and gain the confidence to express yourself in French.

Can you help me with the IB French oral stimulus and discussion?

Yes, absolutely. We can help you prepare for every aspect of the IB French oral exam, regardless of your level.

Remember that the oral exam differs slightly between SL and HL. At Standard Level, you’ll choose between two visual stimuli (pictures), while at Higher Level, you’ll present a talk based on literary works studied during your course. In both cases, our tutors can help you develop specific vocabulary and effective presentation structures.

Along with this, the IB French oral includes two crucial impromptu sections: a conversation based on your presentation and a general discussion. To succeed, you need to understand the examiner’s questions and respond appropriately and instantly. Unlike the presentation, you will not have time to prepare. However, you can get ready for what’s to come. With our IB French oral tutors, you may practice various discussion scenarios, master linguistic flexibility, and develop strategies for building confidence in spontaneous conversations.

Does TutorsPlus have mock IB French oral exams?

Yes, we offer preparation sessions that simulate the structure of the actual oral exam. Our tutors can provide various stimuli (both visual for SL and literary for HL) that align with the IB French B syllabus and lend an ear for your presentation. However, unlike examiners, they won’t be passive listeners. Instead, they are committed to helping you improve your speech across the board. Therefore, you can expect advice on structuring your message and delivering your arguments effectively.

Our mock IB French oral exams also cover the discussion part, both regarding your presentation and general syllabus topics. Again, thanks to feedback from your tutor, you have a chance to build confidence, refine your use of figures of speech, and address any recurring mistakes.

Do your tutors offer individual or group lessons in IB oral French?

At TutorsPlus, we strongly believe that individual lessons deliver the greatest educational value. One-on-one IB oral French sessions allow for simulating the actual exam environment, where you’ll face an examiner directly. Therefore, they become an opportunity to practice individual presentations and follow-up discussions as well as build your confidence in the real situation.

Furthermore, individual sessions offer a level of personalisation that group lessons simply cannot match. In a one-on-one setting, the entire session is dedicated to your specific needs. Your tutor can provide immediate, targeted feedback and help address your challenges. This personalised attention contributes to faster progress and a deeper understanding of the material.

Lastly, individual lessons enable us to create a supportive learning environment. You can practice speaking French without the fear of judgment from peers. This can be particularly beneficial if you experience anxiety during oral presentations.

Do you offer online IB French oral tutoring?

Yes, we do! Our online tutoring sessions allow bringing expert IB French oral tutors directly to your screen, despite potentially being thousands of kilometres away. Thanks to our virtual classroom, we are able to create an engaging learning experience complete with a video chat, interactive whiteboard, instant messaging, and document-sharing capabilities. All of this ensures that our online sessions are just as effective as in-person meetings.

During your online IB French oral sessions, you can receive targeted guidance, practice your pronunciation, and engage in conversational exercises. Feedback from your tutor also comes in real time – this means you can correct your mistakes right on the spot.

For those who prefer face-to-face interactions, we also offer in-person IB French oral tutoring in Switzerland (to be exact, in Lausanne, Geneva, Zurich, and Zug). Whether online or in-person, our commitment to thorough IB French oral exam preparation remains unwavering.

How do I start IB French oral tutoring with you?

If you wish to take your French oral skills to the next level, simply reach out to us at +41 22 731 8148 or . During the initial conversation, we encourage you to tell us about your learning goals and ask any questions you might have.

After that, you have a chance to opt for a trial lesson. It is a perfect way to experience our teaching approach and see if it meets your expectations. We strive to pair you with an IB French oral tutor who is both an expert in IB French and a supportive mentor.

Once we’ve found the perfect match, we’ll collaborate with you to create a tailored tutoring plan that fits into your academic schedule. And don’t worry – if for any reason you feel the initial tutor isn’t the right fit, we’ll promptly find a replacement who better aligns with your preferences.

What qualifications and experience do your individual IB French oral tutors have?

We understand that you are looking for an IB French tutor who is not only highly qualified but also deeply passionate about the subject. That’s what you’ll find at TutorsPlus. Our tutors hold advanced degrees in French language, literature, and education, and are all certified teachers with extensive experience in international schools. Many are also native French speakers. When working with one of such tutors, you have a chance to experience an authentic accent, gain cultural insights, and learn contemporary French as if you were studying in France.

Furthermore, we are privileged to have IB French examiners on our team. Due to their firsthand knowledge of assessment requirements, they are able to deliver effective exam strategies and performance insights.

We meticulously screen our potential tutors to ensure they possess exceptional linguistic knowledge and the flexibility to adapt their methods to each student’s unique learning profile. As a result, you can receive guidance in line with the rigorous IB French requirements and personally tailored.
