Françoise has helped me so much with IB French over the past 2 years, particularly in improving my speaking and writing skills. Thanks to her amazing support and guidance, I achieved a high 7 in French, which I'm very happy about. I couldn't have done it without her!

Bonjour! My name is Aspen and I did year 12 French this year as a year 11 student. Although at the start of the year I was a bit nervous with how big a step up doing 3/4 French would be, I tried to keep on top of all my work and found week by week my French was improving! Having weekly lessons with Françoise definitely helped me achieve this, as it made me want to work harder and constantly try my best. I can not thank her enough for all her support and encouragement throughout the year!!

Thanks to the help and support from Françoise over the past two years, my French has improved immensely. I not only achieved a VCE study score that I am very pleased with, but have also developed a confidence and proficiency in French that will see me through further studies and travel. I would recommend Almaje Tutoring!

I am quite content with my ATAR. My French score, I am happy with as well. It was only just short of my goal of 35 and it still scales to above 40, one of the many benefits of doing VCE French. I can’t thank you enough for your help and having you as my tutor definitely saved me this year.
