Unique Curriculum with LIVE Instruction

Designed specifically for graduate students of Masters & PhD Theological studies, the program follows evidence-based immersion methods for both expeditious and efficient learning. Language training is facilitated through the comprehensive summary of French grammar, principles of translation to English, and extensive acquisition of vocabulary from Christian liturgy. 

Contextual Learning

Our students consistently achieve outstanding fluency and proficiency in their target language, thanks to our proven language acquisition methods and immersive instruction. Using text from current and historical religious documents, comprehension of vocabulary and phrases is learned through context and lexical-association between origin and destination languages. All student translations are reviewed and edited by human hands with constructive feedback. 

Le Savoir-Faire

Our curriculum has been designed by a team of experienced educators known for their expertise in both academic and language instruction and their ability to create engaging and effective lessons. Passionate for our students to fully comprehend their studies, not just memorize, we train with each individual's learning method in mind, for optimal outcomes. 

Resources & Support

In addition to historical religious and philosophical documents and articles used for translation, we also provide a multitude of support resources for all types of learners. These include grammar exercises, self-quizzes, vocabulary banks, flashcards, visual diagrams, contemporary news and journal articles, along with other personalized resources adaptive to your learning methods. 

Small Group Academic Courses & Individual 1:1 Courses

We hold small group (2-5 students max) sessions in 15-week academic semester timelines (two 90 minute sessions per week), January - April and September to December. These courses are equal to a 3-credit-hour course and, although not accredited, require a commitment of approximately 9 hours per week including instruction, lectures, discussions, readings, study, research and assignments.

We can conduct a summer course with a minimum of 3 students and will depend on enrollment requests by early May. 

Individual classes can be arranged based on your availability, starting level of language knowledge and desired intensity of learning. Sessions are typically one to one and a half hours each and can be held once or multiple times per week.

An exceptional recommendation from a stellar student...

"Exceptional Theological French Tutor –
A Truly Outstanding Experience!"

I am beyond impressed with the quality of instruction I’ve received from Carol. I was looking for a tutor who could skillfully navigate the complexities of theological French-to-English translation to pass my graduate-level proficiency exam. I am thrilled to say that with Carol’s guidance, I passed on my first attempt!

From the beginning, she tailored our lessons to focus on the specific areas I needed most, balancing the nuances of theological vocabulary with a deep understanding of French grammar and syntax. Her lessons were always clear and well-organized, and she created a customized strategy that encouraged active learning and critical thinking. What impressed me the most was her ability to break down complex theological sentences into manageable parts and provide practical strategies for me to retain the material.

Every lesson was an enriching conversation, where I felt encouraged to ask questions and explore deeper topics. Her dedication to each session was extraordinary, and it’s clear that Carol genuinely cares about her student’s success and understanding. I also appreciate how she integrated French culture and history into our lessons, which provided a rich context that made learning the language more meaningful.

Carol is the one to choose if you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely supportive tutor to help you succeed in mastering French for theological studies. I am deeply grateful for all her help and guidance, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking to excel in this challenging field.
