How a first lesson works

We start from the work
your child is already set.

Bring the exercise book, a recent marked paper and the homework that is causing trouble. The tutor finds the exact step where the reasoning breaks down — not a general weakness, a specific one — and works from there.

Every subject has its own difficulty.

Why families in Monaco come to us

Monaco is unusual. Within a few hundred metres you will find the French national curriculum at Lycée Albert-Ier and Collège Charles III, a Catholic private school following the same programme at FANB, an English-language school running IGCSE and the IB at the International School of Monaco, and international sections inside the state schools. Families move between these systems, and children are often assessed in a language that is not the one spoken at home.

A tutor who only knows one of those systems is of limited use. Our tutors between them cover the French curriculum from collège to terminale, British curricula from KS3 to GCSE and A-Level, and the IB Diploma — and they teach in both English and French.

What a lesson actually looks like

  1. Find the real difficulty

    Not “maths”, but “cannot rearrange an equation without losing a sign”. That level of precision is what makes a lesson useful.

  2. Let the student attempt it first

    The tutor watches the attempt before correcting. What the student does wrong is the information; the correct answer is not.

  3. Explain, then hand it back

    After the explanation, a second, slightly different exercise. If the student can do that one alone, the understanding is real.

  4. Report to the family

    You are told what was covered, what held, and what to watch for in the next assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Can lessons be taught entirely in English?

Yes. Several of our tutors teach maths, science and English fully in English, including the notation and vocabulary used by international syllabuses. Others teach in French. We match the tutor to the language your child is assessed in.

Do you cover the International School of Monaco curriculum?

Yes. One of our tutors spent five years supporting two ISM pupils in English, French and mathematics, and knows the school’s pace and homework load. We are not affiliated with the school; we simply work with its programme.

My child has just moved to Monaco and speaks little French. Where do we start?

Usually with French as a second language alongside school, so that classroom instruction becomes accessible, rather than with subject tutoring that the language barrier would block anyway. We can explain the trade-off in a first conversation.

Do you teach at university level?

For mathematics and physics, yes — one of our tutors came through French preparatory classes and holds an MSc from Imperial College London. Tell us the module and we will confirm whether we can cover it.

How much do lessons cost?

Rates depend on the subject, the level and the format, and are agreed with the family before the first lesson. We will give you a clear figure during the first conversation.
