Which French do you teach?
Standard French, the French of textbooks and exams, with the vocabulary your child uses at school in Canada. Tutors follow your child’s class material, whether it’s Immersion, Core French or a francophone school.
My child just arrived in Quebec and goes to school in French. Can you help?
Yes, and it’s one of our favourite things to do. We support kids in welcome classes (classes d’accueil) and regular classes with patient one-on-one French: speaking, reading and homework, at their own pace.
Who are the tutors?
University-educated tutors who speak Arabic, French and English and have experience teaching children. Nina interviews every tutor personally before they meet a family.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons happen on Google Meet, from a laptop or tablet, using a private iNina link that stays the same every week. Your tutor lets your child in. For younger children we recommend a parent nearby, and parents are always welcome to sit in.
Will the tutor have my phone number?
No. Families and tutors never exchange personal numbers. You can chat with the tutor at the start or end of a lesson on Google Meet, and everything else goes through Nina on WhatsApp.
When are lessons?
We offer weekday and weekend slots. Weekend mornings are the easiest to book, so tell us your ideal times and Nina will find the best match.
How much does it cost, and how do I pay?
Plans start at $149 for a 4-week cycle. You pay per cycle, after your first lesson, with no long contracts, and you can pause or cancel anytime. Nina will share payment options on WhatsApp.
What if it’s not a good fit?
Just tell Nina. We’ll re-match you with another tutor for free. And your first trial lesson is always free.
How do you keep kids safe online?
Every tutor passes an ID and criminal-record check, renewed every year, and signs our code of conduct. Families and tutors never exchange phone numbers or personal accounts: lessons run only on iNina’s own Google Meet links, and every message goes through Nina. Lessons happen in a shared family space and are never recorded without your permission.
Do you teach adults?
Yes! Parents often learn alongside their kids. Pick “Me, an adult learner” in the form.
