Learning Levels & Developmental Pathways

Our Language Tutoring Program is designed to introduce students to French or Mandarin in a relaxed, supportive way. These classes are not advanced or academically intensive, instead, they aim to help students get comfortable with a new language, develop basic skills, and build the confidence to speak, listen, and explore at their own pace.

We do not place students by grade. Instead, every learner completes a simple placement activity so we can place them at the right level based on their current experience.
