“I’m really grateful for all of Laure’s support and expertise throughout my IB French journey. I started the year sitting between Band 3 and 4, and finished the November 2025 session with a mid Band 6. This improvement was largely due to the structured lessons and the teaching style Laure used, which really helped reinforce my learning and build confidence in French. “

IB French Ab Initio student - Trinity Grammar School - Sydney, 2024/2025
" Laure has been an exceptional support for my daughter’s IB French. She has been thorough, attentive with quality of learning at the core of her work. My daughter looked forward to every class and enjoyed working with Laure. We delighted to receive higher results than what we were expecting and now my daughter feels confident with her French for the next part of her life! "
Saba Bebawi for her daughter Sia
IB student - Melbourne, 2022/2023/2024
"I have studied French for an overall of 11 years but only started classes with Laure 3 years ago, and can say as someone who's had multiple French teachers prior, that she has been the most key to the improvement of both my academic and conversational French. I first looked into Laure to guide me through French in the IB as it is quite rigorous and academic which I had not encountered before. Since then, we have done a range of activities, from practicing speaking about topics which could come up in my speaking exams, to exercising my academic French by writing debates, letters and dissertations.
As someone who is an introvert, I was very shy when first starting my classes with Laure especially as I had never had a native French teacher before and therefore assumed she had higher expectations. I still remember my first class with Laure where, instead, she was incredibly patient, warm and supportive. Since then, my writing, speaking, reading and listening skills have majorly advanced to which I've received comments from family, school teachers and even french-speaking friends concerning how much my French has improved! Even though I have graduated, I continue my classes with Laure to allow me to ease back into conversational French which is always the highlight of my week. Therefore, I highly recommend Laure if you're studying French as a beginner, an intermediate level or even if you would like to learn it as a hobby. “
Audrey Stewart
Medical student - Sydney, Australia, 2019/2020/2021/2022/2023/2024/2025
" Almost a year and a half ago, I commenced ‘French via Skype’ with Laure because I desired to improve my academic ability and I have a deep interest in travel and global connection. Thus, I can testify to the excellence of Laure’s classes, which are perfectly structured to cover all aspects of language learning. In each lesson, there is always the opportunity to engage in discussion about daily life. This has considerably improved my conversational French and ensured that classes are consistently engaging and often humorous. Laure also concentrates on reinforcing new vocabulary and grammar structures so that they become part of my long term memory. Entering my senior years as a student, a key criteria for valuable tutoring lessons is effective pacing. Laure achieves exactly this, optimising my time so that I rarely feel overwhelmed and conveniently conducting lessons online. I can converse with a native French speaker right from my desk at home! Laure further caters to my needs as a student by willingly providing feedback on school projects. Overall, our lessons have completely elevated my French skills and confidence. "
Sasha Laragy
IB Student, Sydney, 2021/2022/2023
" I started tutoring with Laure at the start of year 11 and I can honestly say that I would not have done nearly as well with IB French without her. She is knowledgeable, organised and she always pushes her students to be better. It was her guidance and teaching that allowed me to feel truly confident with the French language.
So I highly recommend Laure and French via Skype to anyone that either needs help with secondary school French or just want to get ahead in their French proficiency. "
Matthew Rassias
Student, Melbourne, 2018/2019/2020/2021/2022/2023
" I started having lessons with Laure in January 2016 as I was having some difficulties at school with my IB French. Our lessons considerably improved my marks and my comprehension of the language. Each lesson, we worked on vocabulary, grammar and we did a lot of exercises too (dictation, writing and comprehension), all of that helped me to achieve some really good marks and i successfully passed my French IB exams at the end of the year! I really enjoyed our lessons and would like to recommend Laure to other students who need support with their French ".

IB French Tutor – Choose the Format That Fits Your Needs
Our IB French tutoring is designed to support students throughout the IB programme (Ab Initio, SL, or HL), offering personalised guidance and clear structure at each stage of preparation.
The process begins with an introductory class, which allows us to assess your child’s current level of French, understand their IB pathway, and set realistic objectives based on the exam requirements and timeline.
During this initial session, we:

- review the IB programme level and exam expectations
- identify the most appropriate preparation module
Following the introductory class, you receive:
- clear feedback on strengths and areas needing improvement
- a personalised study plan aligned with IB requirements
You can then choose between two preparation modules, depending on their child’s needs and availability:
- an oral-focused module for targeted preparation of the IB French oral exams
- a complete preparation module covering all skills: speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary
Throughout the programme:
- lessons are individual and fully personalised
- exam-style tasks and past papers are used
- lesson summaries, IB French vocabulary, and exercises are sent by email after each class
This approach ensures steady progress, builds confidence, and helps students approach IB French exams in a structured and reassuring way.
