Browse IB French tutors by IB score, fluency and assessment specialisation

IB French B is assessed globally with a structure distinct from Australian state curricula. The Individual Oral (IO) is the most heavily weighted component: 12-15 minutes of presentation and discussion in French, based on a literary extract (HL) or visual stimulus (SL). Paper 1 tests productive skills through writing tasks across text types (blog, letter, article, speech). Paper 2 tests receptive skills through listening and reading comprehension. At HL, students also complete a Written Assignment (rationale and essay) based on one of two literary works studied in French across the Diploma. IB French tutors on Learnmate prepare students for each component with IB criteria-aligned practice.

IB French is taught at independent schools across Australia. Tutors offer online sessions nationally and in-person in major cities. For broader French tutoring beyond IB, browse French tutors on Learnmate.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What IB French courses do tutors cover?
IB French B is offered at Higher Level (HL) and Standard Level (SL). HL students study two literary works in French, complete a Written Assignment, and sit a longer Individual Oral based on a literary extract. SL students complete a shorter Individual Oral based on a visual stimulus. Both levels sit Paper 1 (writing) and Paper 2 (listening and reading). French Ab Initio is also available for beginners.
Can IB French tutors help with the Individual Oral?
Yes. The Individual Oral is the most heavily weighted component of IB French B. At HL, students present and discuss a literary extract from one of their studied works. At SL, students respond to a visual stimulus. Both formats require fluency, pronunciation, idiomatic expression and the ability to sustain a discussion in French for 12-15 minutes. IB French tutors on Learnmate rehearse IO formats in real time.
How much does an IB French tutor cost on Learnmate?
The average hourly rate for tutoring on Learnmate is $64/hour, with tutors starting from $30/hour. Oxford graduates with French HL 7, native speakers with IB preparation experience, or IB 44/45 graduates may charge above the average. Most tutors offer a free first lesson so you can assess fit before committing to ongoing sessions.
Can I find an IB French tutor in my city?
Yes. IB is taught at independent schools across Australia. IB French tutors on Learnmate offer online sessions nationally and in-person in Melbourne (Scotch College, Wesley, Haileybury), Sydney (Cranbrook, SHORE, Kincoppal), Brisbane (Stuartholme, John Paul College) and Perth (Christ Church Grammar, St Hilda's). Online is the primary delivery mode for IB French
What if I need general French tutoring, not IB-specific?
For broader French tutoring beyond IB, including conversational French for adults, primary school French, VCE French or HSC French, browse the French tutors page on Learnmate. This page focuses specifically on IB French B (HL and SL) and French Ab Initio within the IB Diploma Programme. Many IB French tutors also offer general French lessons alongside IB preparation.
What are the HL literary works in IB French?
At HL, students study two literary works in French across the two-year Diploma. These works form the basis of the Individual Oral discussion and the Written Assignment (a rationale and essay analysing one of the works). A tutor helps students build the vocabulary, analytical frameworks and discussion skills to engage with French-language literature at the level IB examiners expect.

What our IB French Students Think About Learnmate

Real stories from real learners who've boosted confidence, improved grades and experienced a lasting difference.

Reviews rating

Rita is a vibrant and inspiring French tutor. Her flexibility with my needs as a year 12 french student has allowed me to improve in listening, speaking, reading and writing simultaneously. She provokes me to explain and consolidate my new understanding and she puts an immense amount of effort into the preparation of each lesson. The most valuable part of my lessons with Rita is the way in which she writes down all the questions I have regarding grammar structures and creates her own tasks to specifically target my weaknesses.

Lise is a brilliant teacher. I always look forward to her classes as we always have a lot of fun together. Since first going to her my French speaking, writing and listening skills have greatly improved. She knows the VCE requirements which is very helpful and is able to adapt to my learning needs. Anyone, at any level of French, would highly benefit from Lise’s assistance as she caters for all.

It has been 3 weeks since my son has been tutored by Charan for French (year 8). My son has been enjoying it and Charan has been excellent in his communication and teaching. He is prompt, very responsive over emails and SMS as well which is an added bonus. He has been reviewing the school material and provides guidance during the sessions. Charan has provided regular feedback as well.

Karuna has been such a blessing for us. She has forged a wonderful relationship with our son, and has re-ignited an interest in French. She has readily taken in the challenge of guiding our son to be VCE ready and his confidence has grown immensely. Cannot rate her highly enough. Thanks Karuna.

More about IB French tutoring on Learnmate

IB French Individual Oral preparation

The Individual Oral is the most heavily weighted component of IB French B. At HL, students present and discuss a literary extract from one of their studied works for 12-15 minutes. At SL, students respond to a visual stimulus related to one of the five prescribed themes (Identities, Experiences, Human Ingenuity, Social Organisation, Sharing the Planet). Both formats require fluency, pronunciation, idiomatic expression and the ability to sustain a discussion in French under timed conditions. IB French tutors on Learnmate rehearse IO formats in real time with native or near-native speakers.


IB French Paper 1 and Paper 2 skills

Paper 1 tests productive skills: students write across text types (blog entries, formal letters, articles, speeches, brochures) in French, demonstrating command of register, text-type conventions and grammatical range. Paper 2 tests receptive skills: listening comprehension (responding to French audio passages) and reading comprehension (analysing French texts). IB French tutors on Learnmate prepare students with past paper practice, text-type technique, tense mastery and exam time management under IB conditions.


IB French HL literary works and Written Assignment

The HL pathway requires study of two literary works in French across the two-year Diploma. These works form the basis of the Individual Oral discussion and the Written Assignment (a rationale and essay analysing one of the works). Literary study in French demands vocabulary, analytical frameworks and the ability to discuss themes, characters and authorial technique in the target language. IB French tutors on Learnmate guide textual analysis in French at the depth IB examiners expect.
