French immersion homework help for York Region families.
For parents who can’t explain the grammar anymore, and kids who are starting to dread French.
Does this sound familiar?
Homework nobody at home can actually check.
Grades that keep sliding, term after term.
A kid who says they hate French, and a parent wondering if it’s time to leave immersion.
How We Get You There
Our method is simple: treat every student as an individual, hold high standards, and never lose sight of the joy of learning.
Confidence First
Most kids in immersion know more French than they think. The first sessions are about proving that to them, not testing them.
Close The Gaps
Once a child stops flinching at French, we find exactly where they’re stuck — a verb tense, a type of question, reading comprehension — and work on that specifically.
Real Homework
Sessions follow what’s happening in their immersion classroom that week, not a generic curriculum.
Meet Mel, Founder & Lead French Educator
I’m Mel. I’ve taught French online since 2020, to more than 200 students between the ages of 8 and 79. Before tutoring, I was an elementary and private school classroom teacher. I have a BA from the University of Toronto in political science and French. These days I’m focused on French immersion families — kids who are stuck, and parents who took French years ago and can’t help with the homework anymore. I work from whatever your child actually brings home that week, not a fixed workbook.

12 weekly sessions, private, paid up front or in 3 monthly instalments.
$540 per term — or 3 instalments of $180
Small Group — Better Value
Groups of 2 to 3 kids, matched by grade and school where possible, forming now. Smaller than a classroom, and kids stay motivated when they’re not learning alone. Email me and I’ll match you with another family, or join the waitlist.
