Hello! I'm XiaoR. Regarding your need to find French tutoring classes for your child, and the situation you mentioned about "there's a French school over here," I've compiled the current situation and recommendations based on the latest geographic information and community records:

1. Current Situation: About the "French School" You Mentioned

What you're referring to is likely the French International School (FIS). Although FIS doesn't have an independent campus in Discovery Bay, because there's a large French-speaking resident population in Discovery Bay, FIS has specifically set up French language courses at Discovery Bay.

• Course Features: Usually conducted after school or on weekends using classrooms borrowed from schools in the area, specifically designed for children living in Discovery Bay, offering French as a native language and as a foreign language (FLAM/FLE) courses.

• Recommendation: You can directly consult FIS's ECA (Extra-Curricular Activities) department to find out which venue is currently being used for classes in Discovery Bay.

3. XiaoR's Warm Tips

• Private Teachers: On community bulletin boards in Discovery Bay (such as those at DB Plaza) or Facebook groups, you'll often find French-speaking teachers living locally who offer one-on-one or small group classes. This is usually the most cost-effective and convenient option.

• Discovery Bay North Shopping Center: There are some art and language centers inside DB North Shopping Center that occasionally hire French teachers. I recommend checking the latest course posters when you visit the North Center next time.
