Language learning that fits your school day
One-on-one French, Spanish, and English, online, built around how homeschool families actually run their week.
Flexible scheduling, signed progress reports, and a CEFR curriculum your child can grow through year after year.
The personalisation of 1:1 tutoring. The structure of a language school.
Specialist language tutoring with a proper CEFR curriculum, certified educators, and a signed progress report every 12 weeks. Built for the flexibility and documentation homeschooling needs.
Flexible scheduling
Mornings, afternoons, around co-op days. No school-year calendar, no rigid term. You and the coordinator pick the times that fit your week.
Homeschool-ready documentation
Every 12 weeks, the teacher writes and signs a Pillar Progress Report: CEFR level, growth across all four skills, and next steps. Portfolio-ready and transcript-friendly.
Genuinely personalised
We start with a teacher-led assessment, then build sessions around your child’s actual gaps. Not a generic course that happens to be one-on-one.
Private or semi-private
Most lessons are private one-on-one, just your child and their teacher. Prefer a small group? Semi-private lessons, for siblings or a couple of students at a similar level, are available too.
CEFR-aligned progress
The curriculum maps to the CEFR framework universities and credential programmes use worldwide. Six levels per language, clear milestones, no guessing where your child stands.
ESA & funding compatible
Many of our homeschool families have used Education Savings Accounts and similar state funding to cover classes with us. We provide the signed documentation those programmes ask for.
We work with Education Savings Accounts
Homeschool families across the U.S. and Canada have used ESA funding, state education accounts, and similar programmes to cover language classes with us.
- Teacher-signed progress reports and session records suitable for funding applications.
- A CEFR-aligned curriculum that meets the “structured academic program” requirement many ESAs set.
- Course descriptions, learning objectives, and hours-of-instruction summaries on request.
- A team familiar with the process, ready to walk you through the documentation you’ll need.
“We used our Arizona ESA account for Inspire’s French classes. The progress reports and documentation were exactly what we needed, and our consultant was impressed.”
Homeschool parent, Arizona“I wasn’t sure language tutoring would qualify. The structure made the difference: structured lessons, certified teachers, detailed reports. It checked every box.”
Homeschool parent, TexasWhy most language learning doesn’t stick
A lot of tutoring is reactive: fix this worksheet, review last week’s test. Language doesn’t build that way. Here is what we do instead.
| The traditional struggle | The Inspire approach |
|---|---|
| Rote memorisationVocabulary lists for Friday’s test, forgotten by Monday, with nothing transferable to show for it. | Conceptual masteryWe teach the grammar logic behind sentences. A child who understands why por vs para works can apply it to sentences they’ve never seen. |
| Silent classroomsOne answer per child in a class of 25-plus. Speaking anxiety builds. Real talk time: minutes a week. | More talk timeIn a 1:1 session your child speaks the whole time, heard, corrected, and trying again within the same hour. |
| Generic tutoringA generalist covering maths Monday, English Tuesday, French Wednesday. Surface knowledge in all three. | Language specialists onlyOur educators teach language and nothing else. They catch pronunciation and grammar errors before they harden into habits. |
| One-size curriculumA programme that ignores whether your child is homeschooled, in immersion, or working toward DELF. | Aligned to your childSessions map to Ministry benchmarks, CEFR progressions, and your child’s actual programme, rather than running parallel to it. |
Concept over memorising
A child who memorised fifty words is not the same as one who understands why a verb changes. Grasp the logic and it transfers to sentences they’ve never met.
“Why does this agree?” not “Just memorise it.”Interactive, low-stakes practice
Sessions blend structured work with games, role-plays, and tools like Blooket. When a child is engaged, speaking flows and what they learn actually sticks.
Safe to try · real confidenceSpecialist educators only
Certified language teachers and native speakers. They hear the subtle errors in pronunciation and register that fluent non-specialists miss, and correct them early.
OCT · DELF examiners · native fluencyAligned to your child’s programme
We track Ministry benchmarks, CEFR expectations, immersion tracking, and DELF or AP requirements. Parents notice it on the next report card.

Homeschool families who’ve been there
From parents who had the same questions you have now.
“My son works with Geneviève twice a week and has gone from nervous about French to genuinely excited for every class. She knows exactly how he learns. It’s completely personal.”
“Taylor has tutored our daughter for a semester. She enjoys her sessions and appreciates the support. The weekly rhythm fits perfectly into our homeschool schedule.”
“Mme Hema is the best. We look forward to French every single week, and my daughter asks to practise on her own now. I never thought I’d see that.”
“The assessment report told me more about where my daughter stood in Spanish than two years of curriculum had. We finally knew where to focus.”
Questions homeschool families ask us
Do you accommodate homeschool schedules?
Yes, completely. We don’t follow a school-year calendar, and classes run at flexible times through the week. Many families schedule around co-op days, field trips, or seasonal breaks.
What documentation do you provide for portfolios?
Every 12 weeks, your child receives a Pillar Progress Report signed by a certified teacher: current CEFR level, growth across all four skills, and clear next steps.
Can we use ESA or state education funding?
Many of our families do. We provide teacher-signed documentation, course descriptions, learning objectives, and hours-of-instruction summaries. Contact us and we’ll help you navigate it.
My child has never studied the language. Where do we start?
That’s what the free assessment is for. A certified teacher meets your child, listens, and tells you exactly where they are and the right starting point. No guessing.
Is it one-on-one, or do you offer groups?
Most lessons are private one-on-one, just your child and their teacher. We also offer semi-private small-group lessons, for example siblings or a couple of students at a similar level, if you would prefer that or want to share the cost.
Do you offer English classes for ESL learners?
Yes. We teach English for students whose home language is French, Spanish, or another, plus academic writing and literacy support at any level.
What if my child is already in an immersion program?
We have a dedicated immersion support track. We fix “playground grammar,” strengthen literacy, and build the accuracy and academic language immersion schools often can’t reach.
What if my child learns differently?
Our educators have real experience with neurodiverse learners. Geneviève, for example, has a psychology background and is known for building safe, comfortable sessions for students who learn differently.
