Expert Online Tutoring
Concept Tutors provides expert 1-to-1 online IB French tutoring. French grammar — particularly tense conjugation, gender agreement, subjunctive and pronouns — is a persistent source of errors. Speaking confidence is also a barrier for many students who have strong reading skills but limited oral practice.
The Curriculum
The International Baccalaureate (IB) is a globally recognised educational framework developed by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). Rather than rote memorisation, the IB develops critical thinking, self-directed research and intercultural understanding. IB qualifications are accepted by leading universities in over 90 countries including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands.
Grade range: PYP (Ages 3–12), MYP (Ages 11–16), DP (Ages 16–19)
Boards: International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO)
Exam sessions: May and November each year
The Subject
French grammar — particularly tense conjugation, gender agreement, subjunctive and pronouns — is a persistent source of errors. Speaking confidence is also a barrier for many students who have strong reading skills but limited oral practice.
Our tutors combine grammar drilling, vocabulary building and structured oral practice. Written work is corrected with explanations tied to grammar rules rather than just corrections, helping students avoid repeating the same errors.
IB Programmes
The IB offers three interconnected programmes for school-age students. Each builds on the last and shares the IB's commitment to inquiry-based, internationally-minded education.
| Programme | Ages | Summary | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) | Ages 3–12 (Kindergarten to Grade 6) | An inquiry-based curriculum framework for young learners that develops curiosity, communication and international-mindedness. PYP is not subject-specific but organised around transdisciplinary themes. The PYP Exhibition in Grade 6 is the culminating assessment where students independently investigate a real-world issue. | Internal assessment only. No external IB examinations at PYP stage. Schools assess students through portfolio evidence and the PYP Exhibition. |
| IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) | Ages 11–16 (Grade 6–10) | Connects classroom learning to the real world through eight subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, Arts, Physical and Health Education, and Design. Each subject is assessed against four criteria using a 0–8 scale. The MYP Personal Project in Grade 10 is a significant independent research project. | Schools assess internally against IB criteria. External eAssessment is available in Grade 10 for schools that choose to offer it. MYP results do not produce a separate IB certificate but serve as direct preparation for DP. |
| IB Diploma Programme (DP) | Ages 16–19 (Grade 11–12) | A rigorous two-year pre-university programme. Students study six subjects across six groups, with three at Higher Level (HL) and three at Standard Level (SL). Additionally, all DP students complete Theory of Knowledge (TOK), an Extended Essay (EE) of 4,000 words, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). Maximum score is 45 points; universities typically require 30–38+ points for competitive programmes. | External examinations in May and November. Internal Assessments (IAs) in each subject contribute 20–30% of the final grade. TOK and EE together contribute up to 3 bonus points. |
Within the Diploma Programme, every subject is offered at two levels of difficulty:
240 teaching hours over two years
More demanding and in-depth. HL grades carry greater weight in university conditional offers, particularly for competitive courses like Medicine, Law and Engineering. Students take exactly three HL subjects.
150 teaching hours over two years
Covers the core syllabus with breadth rather than depth. Provides a strong academic foundation without the intensity of HL. Students take exactly three SL subjects.
Why 1-to-1 Tutoring

Common Questions
How does 1-to-1 online IB French tutoring work?
Sessions are fully online via a shared interactive whiteboard where tutor and student write, draw diagrams and work through problems together. The tutor shares their screen for worked examples and students can annotate questions in real time. All sessions are recorded so students can revisit explanations before exams.
How many IB French tutoring sessions do I need?
This depends on the student's current level, how far the exams are and how many gaps need to be addressed. Most students see meaningful improvement with 2 sessions per week over 2–3 months. We offer packages of 24, 50 and 100 classes to suit different timelines and levels of support needed.
What is the difference between IB Core and Extended?
IB subjects are designed to stretch students at the appropriate level. Our tutors assess the student's current ability and advise on the most suitable tier.
Do your IB French tutors cover past papers and mark schemes?
Yes — past paper practice is central to every tutoring programme. Our tutors combine grammar drilling, vocabulary building and structured oral practice. Written work is corrected with explanations tied to grammar rules rather than just corrections, helping students avoid repeating the same errors. Examiners reward specific language and method; our tutors train students in exactly what earns marks on their specific board.
