Private Classes

The Alliance Française de Seattle provides one-on-one and semi-private instruction (offered online only). Learners benefit from flexible scheduling and personalized instruction. Private classes can be planned from Monday to Saturday, during the day or in the evening, for adults or youth at all levels of proficiency. We do not match students for semi-private classes; you must book together.

We offer private classes with a variety of objectives. For example:

  • Preparing for a trip to a French-speaking region (speaking proficiency, conversation practice)
  • Focusing on a specific skill or need
  • French for business
  • Exam preparation for adults and youth (DELF/DALF, AP French, TEF...)
  • After-school tutoring in French

All private classes are currently conducted online. Please add a comment in your request if you are looking for in-person private classes.

To register, submit a private class request form. You will be contacted within two (2) weeks with a proposal. Once the schedule is confirmed, you will receive an invoice, due one (1) week before the first session. You can purchase a membership—required for private courses—at that time. Please keep in mind that AFSeattle does not match students, so semi-private classes must be booked together.

Packages of private tuition must be used within two quarters.

Our teaching staff is composed of highly qualified French instructors with native fluency and degrees in teaching French as a foreign language. We cannot accommodate requests for instructors based on their native language or national origin because it is against our inclusion and non-discriminatory policies. We are proud to be a diverse school with teachers representing a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds that represent the richness of the French-speaking world. Let's embrace this linguistic and cultural richness to enrich our educational experience. Read about our teachers on our staff page!
