French Immersion moves fast, and it rarely slows down to let a student catch up. A verb tense that never quite settled in Grade 5 turns into a writing problem in Grade 8 and an oral-exam problem in Grade 11. The content keeps arriving in French, so a language gap quietly becomes a marks gap in every subject taught in French.
Our Kitsilano French tutors work on the actual classroom material — the novel study, the exposé, the grammar unit due Friday — not a generic language course running alongside school. Several of our French tutors are Immersion graduates themselves, which means they have already made the mistakes your child is making.
We support the full range: students in Immersion who need to keep pace, Core French students building toward a Grade 11 or 12 credit, and confident speakers who need written accuracy for provincial assessments.
We tutor in person at 3317 West 4th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V6R 4R9 and online across BC, serving Kitsilano, Point Grey, Dunbar, Fairview, and West Point Grey.
Every Keats French student in Kitsilano gets a tutor matched to their programme, work built on their real classroom material, and lesson notes and progress updates as they move through the plan.
Several of our French tutors are Immersion graduates — they know exactly where students stall, because they stalled there too.
We support both streams, including students moving between them or working toward a senior French credit.
Speaking is where most Immersion students freeze. We practise producing French out loud, every session.
Lesson notes and progress updates as your child moves through the plan: covered, confidence, homework, next time.
After your Learning Plan Session, we shortlist tutors and confirm a match within one business day.
We work on the novel study and the grammar unit that are actually due, not a parallel curriculum.

Vancouver’s West Side has a large French Immersion cohort, and we see students from across it. Online sessions work particularly well for French — the same tutor, live document editing, and plenty of speaking practice.
