Who is the program for?
The Canadian Parents for French Virtual Tutoring Program was created for parents who made a commitment to have their children learn French. The Program provides students from 5 to 14 years of age with additional support for their FSL learning journey.

The benefits of this program are endless, as it:
- exposes students to a variety of French accents;
- offers informal and friendly conversational support;
- promotes bilingualism among Canadian youth;
- builds confidence and resilience; and
- is fun and safe way for your child to improve their French!
Tutors come to each lesson prepared with a variety of fun-filled activities that are both engaging and instructional on a specific, interesting topic! Students will work on activities that will focus on reading, writing, speaking, and listening in French. If there is spare time in the one-hour session, students can ask for help on their French homework.
The program is open to all families who have a Canadian Parents for French membership.

FAQS
No. This program is not an academic tutoring program and does not follow a pre-determined curriculum. As a result, we do not provide progress reports for students who are enrolled.
No, not necessarily. The idea is to expose your child to different accents and backgrounds so typically your child will have a new tutor each week.
No. As we are a 100% volunteer-based program, we cannot guarantee a session every week, but it is our goal to make sure your child has weekly sessions!
There is a limit to three children per family.
We are proud to have a diverse group of French-speaking volunteers, residing in nine provinces and who represent over 16 countries of origin before calling Canada home! CPF tutors are at least 16 years old and fluent in both English and French.
If you’re bilingual or francophone and you’re ready for a meaningful, rewarding experience, we’d love it if you applied! The minimum time commitment is one hour per week. If you want to become a volunteer tutor, you can complete a registration form HERE.
