Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How can an IB French tutor help with the Individual Oral (IO) exam and other unique assessments?
The IO can feel daunting, but a tutor will practise with your child, building their confidence in spontaneous discussion and presentation skills. They'll also guide them through the different 'text types' needed for the writing exam, like crafting blogs or emails, ensuring they master these specific IB formats.
How does IB French compare to an A-Level, and how do universities perceive it?
An IB French tutor can clarify these differences. Both French B HL and A-Level are rigorous, but the IB focuses more on diverse communication skills and cultural understanding across various text types. Universities value the IB Diploma highly for its breadth and academic challenge, seeing it as a strong preparation for higher education. For Ab Initio, while it's a beginner course, universities recognise the significant achievement of learning a language from scratch in two years, and it counts fully towards the IB Diploma.
Can a tutor help my child decide between IB French SL and HL, or explain French Ab Initio?
Absolutely. A good IB French tutor can discuss your child's current French skills and future university aspirations, helping you understand the demands of each level. They can explain the literary component of HL, or the intense pace of Ab Initio, ensuring you make an informed choice that suits your child best and how universities might view each pathway.
Is it realistic to learn French from scratch (Ab Initio) to a competent level in two years?
It's certainly challenging, but with dedication and the right support, it's very achievable. An IB French tutor can provide the focused attention and structured learning needed to accelerate progress, helping your child grasp grammar, vocabulary, and communication skills quickly, making the demanding pace much more manageable.
How can an IB French tutor help with the Higher Level literature component?
For HL, studying literature in another language can be tough. A tutor will break down the texts, helping students understand complex themes, literary devices, and character development. They'll guide your child in structuring analytical essays in French, preparing them thoroughly for this demanding part of the course.
How do I know I'm choosing a great IB French tutor?
We make it easy for you. All our tutors are experienced and subject experts. We carefully vet them, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, and perform thorough background checks. You can browse their profiles, read reviews from other students, and even chat with them before booking, so you can find the perfect match for your child's needs.
