Many children do well in the early grades of immersion, then find it harder as the work gets longer and more complex. These are signs your child could use support in French.
The worksheet is in French, your child is stuck, and you can't read the instructions well enough to help.
Your child guesses at words, reads very slowly or avoids French books, while classmates seem to be moving ahead.
The math makes sense when you explain it in English, but word problems and tests in French don't click.
Your child says they hate French, or the teacher has raised concerns, and you're wondering whether to switch to English.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
Look for a certified teacher who teaches in French and can work on the same reading, writing and math your child sees in class. You can also ask them to explain in English when that helps it click.
Your child may guess at words, read very slowly or avoid French books. A tutor can work on French sounds, decoding and understanding, using books at your child's level. Ask them to suggest books you can keep at home, even if you don't read French yourself.
Spelling, verb endings and longer paragraphs in French can pile up fast. A tutor can help your child plan, write and fix their own work the way the class expects. Share recent marked writing, and ask for feedback on drafts rather than corrected copies.
The math may make sense in English, while word problems and tests in French don't click. Look for a tutor who can teach the math in French, the way your child sees it in class. You can ask them to switch to English when a concept needs clearing up.
Staying in immersion is your family's decision, and it helps to decide with real information. You can ask a tutor for plain notes on what is getting easier and what is still hard. Bring those examples to your child's teacher before you decide.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

Letter sounds, early reading and speaking in French. Look for short, playful sessions that make the new language feel comfortable.
More subjects and longer texts in French, and late immersion starts in Grade 6 in B.C., so vocabulary and writing matter more.
Ontario's high school immersion program includes ten credits in French, with essays, tests and exams written in French.
Your teen can keep building French for college, university or work, including bilingual programs and jobs that ask for French.

Questions about matching, scheduling or pricing? Reach us whichever way suits you, and our team will take it from there.
Yes. Immersion is open to all families, and parents don't need to speak French. You can read with your child in your home language, ask about their day and keep a homework routine. A tutor who teaches in French can cover the parts only French can explain.
Not always. A problem in one area, like reading or math in French, can often be worked on. Talk to the teacher first, and look at how your child is doing overall and how they feel. It's your family's decision, and either choice can be the right one.
Demand is high. Canadian Heritage counts 477,102 students in French immersion outside Quebec in 2023 to 2024, and the Commissioner of Official Languages reported a chronic shortage of French second language teachers in 2019. You can choose from the certified teachers who teach in French, depending on who is available online or near you.
Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.
