Private Classes

The Alliance Française de Seattle provides one-on-one and semi-private instruction (offered online only). Learners benefit from flexible scheduling and personalized instruction. Private classes can be planned from Monday to Saturday, during the day or in the evening, for adults or youth at all levels of proficiency. We do not match students for semi-private classes; you must book together.

All private classes are currently conducted online. Please add a comment in your request if you are looking for in-person private classes.

Please note that this is not a tutoring program.

To register, submit a private class request form. You will be contacted within two (2) weeks with a proposal. Once the schedule is confirmed, you will receive an invoice, due one (1) week before the first session. You can purchase a membership—required for private courses—at that time. Please keep in mind that AFSeattle does not match students, so semi-private classes must be booked together.
