IB French B (Standard & Higher Level) Online Coaching for International Students

    Personalised online coaching for IB French B candidates — SL and HL — with native French tutors and exam-board specialists.

    IB French B is one of the most-taken language acquisition courses in the IB Diploma Programme. Skoolup offers personalised coaching for SL and HL candidates worldwide, with a focus on the five prescribed themes, paper 1, paper 2 and the individual oral. All tutors are native French speakers trained on the latest IB rubrics.

    The five IB French B themes — fully covered

    Identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organisation, and sharing the planet. We work through authentic texts (literary and non-literary at HL), develop thematic vocabulary, and train students to produce structured written and oral responses.

    • Theme-by-theme vocabulary and exemplar texts
    • Paper 1: productive writing (email, blog, article, etc.)
    • Paper 2: receptive skills (listening + reading)
    • Individual oral: stimulus analysis + discussion

    HL-specific support: literature & complexity

    HL students study two literary works. Our tutors guide students through close reading, thematic analysis, and the more demanding oral discussion expected at HL level.

    Mock exams under real conditions

    We run timed mock papers before each exam session, mark them against IB criteria, and provide actionable feedback to lift students' band scores.

    Frequently asked questions

    How is IB French B different from French A?+

    French B is for language learners (acquisition). French A is for native or near-native speakers (literature). We coach both — be sure to identify the right pathway at your assessment.

    Can you help with the individual oral?+

    Yes — we record mock orals, transcribe, and give detailed feedback against IB criteria (language, message, interaction).

    What is the typical lesson frequency?+

    Most students opt for 1-2 hours per week throughout the IB year, with intensive blocks before mock and final exams.
