My C1 German class instructor is open-minded. In addition to the textbook material, we often find ourselves discussing other interesting topics, which makes the Saturday class very enjoyable.

I was looking for a course in Switzerland. I finally found this one and decided to enroll. From the very first day until today—the last day of the course—I’ve been extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Especially Marcella, who taught our class—she’s a truly excellent instructor and teacher… I can’t thank her enough. I don’t know all the staff members’ names, but Ivana and Evin, in particular, are very helpful, and of course the others are always happy to answer all your questions without ever getting tired of it. You really feel at home and comfortable in this course… If I were to take another course, I definitely wouldn’t go anywhere else but here.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Private French Lessons

Learn more about our French courses

Yes. In a private French class, you and your teacher decide together what you want to focus on. This could include, for example, conversation, grammar, pronunciation, French for travel, or specific professional situations. This way, you spend less time on topics you already know well and can work more specifically on your personal weaknesses.

Yes. Exam preparation is available through private lessons. ILS Basel is a licensed DELF/DALF course center. Lessons can be specifically tailored to listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing, and the oral portion of the exam.

Yes. In one-on-one lessons, you’ll spend a large part of the class actively speaking. The teacher can correct mistakes right away, explain new ways of expressing yourself, and choose conversational scenarios that align with your personal goals. This is especially helpful if you want to refresh your school French or overcome your fear of speaking.

Yes. Business French can be a focus of private lessons. Depending on your line of work, you can practice, for example, customer interactions, phone calls, presentations, emails, or industry-specific vocabulary.

Yes. In addition to one-on-one lessons, we offer semi-private, trio, and quartet private lessons. This means you can study with friends, your partner, or coworkers, as long as you put together the private study group yourself.

ILS Basel offers private French lessons from A1 to C2. The course is therefore suitable for both complete beginners and very advanced learners.

Class days, times, and duration are arranged on an individual basis. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. This makes private lessons particularly suitable for people with varying work schedules or irregular schedules.
