Outside Quebec, most families in French Immersion don't speak French at home, so many parents can't help with French homework. That's where a tutor helps most: look for a certified teacher who works with your child in French, explains grammar in plain terms and builds speaking confidence.
Certified teacherOnline, home or libraryIn 2021, nearly 700,000 school-aged children outside Quebec whose mother tongue is not French were in, or had been in, French Immersion, about one in six children that age (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census).
French help looks different depending on your child's program, so a good first step is telling the tutor which one your child is in and where they feel stuck.
Older students can also prepare for the DELF, the internationally recognized French diploma that many Canadian school boards offer in high school. A certified teacher knows what each level asks for and how to practise the speaking and writing parts.
Core French
In Ontario, core French starts by Grade 4; other provinces vary. Tutoring builds vocabulary, verbs and the confidence to speak up.
French Immersion
Most subjects are taught in French. Tutoring keeps reading, writing and grammar on track in every subject.
Extended French
French is also used to teach at least one other subject. Look for a tutor who can work through that homework in French and explain it in English when needed.

Most families notice it at homework time or when a report card comes home.
The instructions are in French, the answers are in French, and you're left guessing at the kitchen table.
Your child can read the words out loud but can't tell you what the story was about.
They follow along in class, then freeze when it's their turn to answer in French.
Wanting to leave French Immersion often comes from a gap in reading or grammar, not a lack of ability, and a tutor can help find it.
Speaking French and knowing how children learn it are two different things. Certified teachers are trained in how students learn a language, so they can check your child's French, adapt and build on what they already know, following your province's French program.
