What stands out in the French market
Do French Super Tutors charge more?
Yes, at every level of experience: $25 against $20 under 500 lessons, $29 against $25 at 500 to 2,000 lessons, $34.50 against $29 at 2,000 to 5,000 lessons and $34 against $29 over 5,000 lessons. That's a wider gap than in Spanish and Math.
Does mentioning DELF, DALF or TCF in a headline go with higher French rates?
No. About one French tutor in five mentions DELF, and those tutors list at a median $25, below the $27 of the others. DALF mentions sit at $25 and TCF mentions sit at $23.50. Tutors whose headline says they are native speakers list higher: $30 against $25.
How spread out are French rates?
26% of French tutors list under $20 and 25% at $40 or more. No other subject TutorDNA tracks has as many tutors at both ends: 13% and 33% in English, 27% and 19% in Spanish and 61% and 13% in Math.
Medians of listed prices in the same scrape. Where experience could explain a difference, tutors are compared with others who have taught a similar number of lessons, and groups of fewer than 30 tutors are left out.
Do experienced tutors charge more?
Tutors with under 100 lessons list a median of $20 an hour; tutors with 2,000 to 4,999 lessons list $31.
Lessons taught is a career total and the price is today's, so this shows what tutors at each level list now, not what more lessons would do to a price. Bands with fewer than 30 tutors show no figures.
How busy are French tutors at each price?
French tutors teach about as many lessons at every price: a median of 51 to 62 a month.
Lessons a month come from the change in each tutor's lesson count between scrapes 62 days apart, counting only the 375 tutors whose price held. Longtime students can stay on an older price, so read this as how busy tutors at each price are, not how many new students that price brings. These tutors stayed near the top of Preply's search results, so they are busier than the market as a whole.
Super Tutors and popular tutors
39%
of French tutors here are Super Tutors. Their median listed price is $30 an hour, against $25 for everyone else. Super Tutors also tend to have more lessons behind them, so the badge alone doesn't explain any difference.
16%
carry Preply's "Booked N times recently" badge: 98 Popular, 38 Very popular and 16 Super popular. Preply doesn't say how recent "recently" is, so the badge marks busy tutors without giving a rate.
