Why private 1-1 tuition gets results faster
In a class, you share the tutor's attention with everyone else. Progress is limited by the group's average pace. Questions you have may go unasked. Weaknesses may go unaddressed.
With a private French tutor, every minute is yours. Every correction is targeted. Every session is designed around what you need — not what the curriculum says you should need. This is why private tuition consistently produces faster progress than group learning.
Your goals, only
Going to Provence in September? Hosting a French family Christmas? Laura builds the lessons around what actually matters to you.
Move at your pace
Progress quickly through things you grasp fast. Spend more time on anything that needs extra work. No waiting, no rushing.
No embarrassment
Making mistakes is how you learn. In a private session, there's no audience — just you, Laura, and your French getting better.

Morning, afternoon, or evening — sessions fit around your life. Choose how often and when works best for you.

How private lessons work at OuiSpeak
Free taster session
A 20-minute conversation to understand your goals, assess your current level, and find the right approach. No cost, no commitment.
Your personal lesson plan
Laura designs a series of sessions around your specific goals — whether that's conversational confidence, a trip to France, or reconnecting with the language.
Regular 1-1 sessions
Weekly or twice-weekly sessions at times that suit you. Academic, real-life, or a mix — you decide the format.
Progress at your pace
Sessions adapt as you improve. Laura tracks your development and adjusts the content to keep you challenged and motivated.
Academic or real-life — you choose
Private sessions at OuiSpeak can take either format — or both. Academic 1-1 lessons work through grammar, structure, reading, and writing in a methodical, satisfying way. Real-life 1-1 lessons take place out in the world — at a market, café, or park — teaching the language in context.
Many students use private sessions to build a strong academic foundation, then reinforce it with real-life immersion lessons. Talk to Laura in your free taster to find the right combination.
