Along with English, French is very popular. Although it is not international, it is spoken in almost 70 countries. The ability to speak French is an advantage for finding a job in many international companies. Institutions of higher education in many countries, including France, accept people only with knowledge of French at level B2, after they have confirmed the level with the international exam DELF/DALF.
You can develop language skills both with the help of studying with a mentor (group courses, tutors, schools/universities), and thanks to self-study (books, video lessons). These are key ways to gain knowledge. But there is a significant difference between them.
Self-learning helps to educate students in discipline and the ability to manage their time. However, this requires a high level. When it comes to classes or groups, many students usually have questions on topics being studied. The fact is that a teacher cannot devote enough time and attention to each individual student.
But there is another format of studying with a teacher – these are personal classes. In this case, a tutor first tests your knowledge and abilities, discusses with you the goals, and then makes a curriculum specifically for you. You also get a flexible schedule and all the attention of a professional. So private classes are the most effective.
Each tutor determines the cost of private classes depending on the level of their professional development, experience, the complexity of preparatory programs, the usage of unique teaching techniques and so on. This also takes into account the pricing policy within the state or city.
Of course, the most expensive types of classes are preparation for international exams, admission to universities, training in French-language educational programs and the like. The average price for a 60-minute class in Phoenix is about $43. Look at prices in other cities.
