Looking for an experienced tutor for TEF Canada 1:1 sessions

Hi all,

I'm preparing for TEF Canada, targeting CLB 7, and I'm looking for a tutor with real TEF experience.

Where I'm at: I've studied French over the last 1 year at a language institute based out of India. I had to leave the classes midway in B2 as i plateau-ed and couldn't be consistent. Also, the tutors at the institute were irregular lol. So the last two months have been mostly a bust, as I work full-time and couldn't stay consistent. From the feedback i have recieved so far, I am at early B1 level and a few months of consistent prep is what i need to give TEF a genuine shot.

What I'm looking for:

  • A track record with TEF Canada specifically, ideally with students who reached CLB 7 or higher
  • Regular classes (4 to 5 a week)
  • Morning timings, around 6:30 to 9 AM IST, to fit around work
  • Coverage of all four sections, especially Expression Écrite and Expression Orale, with mock tests and feedback.

I tried a few tutors on Preply who were good but the timings never worked out as they were based out of North Africa and I was in India and my timings meant that they had to stay up late till 2AM - 3AM.

If you've cleared TEF Canada, or you teach it, I'd appreciate any recommendations by comment or DM. What worked for you, and roughly what did it cost?

Thanks!
