Private tutoring in English at collège (lower secondary school)

At collège (lower secondary school), English is built in layers: the foundations of 6e, the first year (present simple and continuous, simple past, everyday vocabulary), support everything else. A student who has not fixed them properly quickly falls behind, because each new structure builds on the previous ones. Private tutoring makes it possible to go back over these foundations and to speak more than at school.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in English at collège (lower secondary school)?

Topics covered

  • Present simple and continuous
  • Simple past and irregular verbs
  • Pronunciation and intonation
  • Everyday vocabulary
  • Listening comprehension

What you work on in sessions

  • Introduce yourself and talk about your activities for two minutes
  • Use the most common irregular verbs in the simple past
  • Understand the gist of a simple recording

Foundations that weaken quickly

Confusion between the present simple and the present continuous, settled in 6e, is still there in 3e (the final year of collège). Better to correct it early.

Daring to pronounce

English pronunciation is disconcerting: silent letters, long and short vowels. Students who do not dare to make mistakes at school progress faster one to one.

Irregular verbs

A list to know by heart, but one that cannot be learnt in one go. Short, repeated revision fixes it for good.

School success and study choices

How can you improve your English at collège and lycée?

To make progress in English at collège (lower secondary school) and lycée (upper secondary school), first assess your real skills (listening and reading comprehension, speaking and writing) with simple tests. Adopt a 15-minute daily routine alternating listening, reading and production, reusing vocabulary and grammar in sentences of your own. Learn vocabulary in context (concrete examples, common expressions) rather than in isolated lists, so you remember and apply it better.

Methods and revision

Flashcards: how to create and use them without wasting time

A flashcard is useful when it asks a precise question, when the student looks for the answer before checking it and when the cards are reviewed at spaced intervals. Stick to one idea per card and vary the types: definitions, distinctions, examples and common mistakes. For complex skills, flashcards remain a complement to practice, not a substitute for it.

Private tutoring

Homework help or private tutoring: which should you choose?

Homework help suits students who understand their lessons but struggle to organise themselves or move forward alone. Private tutoring is suited to reworking a specific subject or skill in depth. The choice depends on what is really holding the student back: organising their work or mastering the knowledge.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in English at collège (lower secondary school)

When should you take English tutoring at collège?

As soon as marks drop or the student no longer dares to speak at school. In 6e and 5e, a few sessions are often enough to consolidate the foundations.

How do you learn English irregular verbs?

In small groups of similar verbs, reusing them in sentences, and testing yourself regularly. The tutor alternates speaking and writing to fix them.

Are the English sessions suited to European sections?

Yes: the pace and demands are higher there, and the tutor can support work in the subjects taught in English.

Does English count in the Brevet?

It has no written paper of its own in the Brevet (the end-of-collège exam), but the level reached in 3e shapes the start of lycée. It is the right time to consolidate.
