Private French Lessons
Private lessons are available on weekdays and Saturdays, at a schedule and pace appropriate to the student. The format can be one-on-one sessions or small private-group classes. Contact the office at info@afportland.org to discuss options.
Since 2020, the Alliance Française de Portland has maintained its pricing—a testament to our commitment to accessibility. This year, nearly all operational costs have increased significantly, and to keep up while sustaining our programs, a pricing update has become necessary. Beginning January 1st, we will be implementing a cost-of-living adjustment to our general pricing, including memberships and class fees. This update ensures we can continue providing high-quality classes, cultural events, and community experiences that make your membership so valuable.
Private
Lessons
Private lesson pricing for adults or children is $55/hr for one student or $35 for 30 minutes. Students may purchase a number of lessons at once. A 10% discount is applied for the purchase of 10 hour-long classes at a time.
For private lessons, teachers develop coursework specific to the student’s needs and goals, including selection of a textbook and a defined curriculum. This private lesson format is suitable for students at all levels, from beginning to advanced.
Semi-private
Lessons
Semi-private lesson pricing for adults or children for 2 students or more are $35/hr per student or $20 for 30 minutes. Students may purchase a number of lessons at once.
If you'd like to arrange semi-private lessons for groups greater than 2 please contact info@afportland.org.
Conversation
à la carte
Students at the intermediate and advanced levels may opt for a less structured approach for pure conversation practice. Called Conversation à la carte, these informal conversation sessions are free-flow opportunities to dialogue in French. Convos are available as 30-minute sessions at $25 per session. Students may purchase a number of lessons at once.
