Do you have previous french learning experience or are you a total beginner?
If so like the poster above said, it isn't cheap to teach someone, you're paying for their "expertise" and time.
Learning solo as a beginner can be a recipe for haphazard learning and a disaster, thus, some people recommend schools like Alliance Française and IEF.
I would recommend IEF(not in any way affiliated to them) to give that foundation, they have classes completely online and have competitive prices. Their number is on this thread, you can search to find it.

Lastly, the teacher can only do as well as the student allows. Most of the work will be done by you outside of class. There will be little to no shortcuts. You must put in the work.
If you have other questions don't hesitate to ask

Bonne chance.

I want to prepare for TEF but I can't attend physical classes because of my schedule.
Any alternative for people like me to learn French quickly?

Goodnigga:
As an ex-student, formally old active member here . I will recommend Tobidam. That's what I used then because I couldn't attend physical classes too. They are strictly online and have classes 24/7 and are very effective.

peace!

Please can someone add me to the Canada TEF group on telegram.

I started intensive physical classes at Alliance Française in January 2021 till August 2021. I did A1-B1.2 there and left for physical classes at IEF because I decided to start preparing for TEF. I had hoped to write TEF in December 2021, however, I opted for DELF to have a taste of what a French exam will be like. I wasn't ready to throw away 210k for TEF just yet.

I finished my classes at IEF in December then I basically started having online speaking classes as I wasn't sure when I would be writing the exam. I was too scared to sit for the exam and end up failing. My tutor is a native speaker and he's really good.

Fast forward to May 2022, I decided to do TEF in ending of June so I started an online TEF class with IEF. Just when the class was rounding up and I was ready to register, the exam was suspended. I immediately had to switch to TCF. My TEF classes helped a little but the exam structure is quite different. So from July to August, I went back to my private tutor to help me with speaking and writing aspect while for listening, I kept listening to podcasts on RFI and French movies.

Concerning my experience with the exams. From my point of view, the listening aspect of TCF is the hardest because you hear the recording once and that's it.
The other aspects, reading is fairly easier because there are short texts and compared to TEF that have Shakespeare type of texts (sometimes I don't understand anything).
As for writing, you'd have to practice writing three different rédactions in 1 hour.
Speaking was also fairly easy( you can scale through with much practice) The first question is present yourself.

If you're starting from scratch, my advice:

Do a free online course.
https://www.laits.utexas.edu/fi/
I believe Harvard OCW also has one.
There are a couple low fee courses on Coursera and Udemy.

Get a textbook:
Get a beginner french textbook. At this level, it doesn't really matter which one. You could easily download the pdf. My advice is, get one with audio as well (or audio available online).

When you know the colours, can conjugate avoir, être, then I think you can then look for a tutor.

As you get to B1 level, you need a tutor. You need the tutor to help with exceptions, with prononciation, etc.

Attend or host Duolingo French meetups.

I hosted in Port Harcourt and was happy with the turnouts.

sageb:


when you host another French language meetup in port Harcourt, please let me know.

I wonder why people even recommend him with such exorbitant price. Worst still, the guy would still be making unnecessary shakara
