Private tutoring in English for Première (second year of lycée)

In Première (the second year of lycée), English is organised around cultural themes (identities, public space, innovation, fiction) and expectations rise a notch in writing as in speaking. Students taking the LLCER speciality also have literary analysis and reading in English. The aim is to move from correct school English to English that argues, nuances and cites examples.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in English for Première (second year of lycée)?

Topics covered

  • Cultural themes of the final two years
  • Reading comprehension
  • The argued essay
  • The LLCER speciality
  • Extended speaking

What you work on in sessions

  • Report on a written or audio document in English
  • Build an argued essay with cultural examples
  • Analyse a literary extract in English for the speciality

Feeding the argument

A convincing English essay relies on precise cultural references. Building them up theme by theme prepares for Terminale.

The speciality, a different exercise

Literary analysis in English demands both the language and the method of commentary. Many students discover this double requirement in Première.

Speaking at length without notes

Speaking continuously for several minutes takes practice. One-to-one sessions offer the speaking time that school does not.

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

Active recall: the revision method that makes the brain retrieve information

Active recall means retrieving information from memory, without looking at your notes, and then checking your answers. It is a more effective method than simple rereading for long-term memorisation. To use it well, you need to space out recall sessions and use your mistakes to target the gaps.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in English for Première (second year of lycée)

Do the English sessions cover the LLCER speciality?

It depends on the tutor: their profile describes their background. The speciality requires real confidence in literary analysis, to check from the first exchange.

How do you build a stock of examples for the English essay?

By noting, for each curriculum theme, two or three precise references: a fact, a work, a quotation. The tutor helps choose them and reuse them.

Does English in Première count towards the bac?

Yes, modern languages are assessed over the last two years of lycée. Première results contribute, hence the value of progressing from this year.

How do you improve speaking in Première?

By speaking in every session on a curriculum theme, first guided and then continuously, with targeted correction of recurring mistakes.
