Mrs. Devi shares the emotional and practical journey of how her son overcame his fear of French to top his class.
“My Son Went from 48% to 92% in French in 6 Months” – A Mauritian Mum Spills Everything
"I was desperate. His teacher said he would fail CPE French."
This is how Mrs. Devi started our interview. Her son, Aryan, hated French. He couldn't conjugate avoir, let alone write an essay.
Six months later, Aryan scored 92% in his mock exams. Here is the exact roadmap they followed.
Month 1: The "Detox"
"We stopped forcing him to read Molière," Devi laughs. Instead, they watched Tintin cartoons in French. The goal was to make the language less scary.
Month 2: Finding the Right Guide
Devi hired a young tutor from MyProf.mu, a university student named Chloe. "Chloe didn't act like a teacher. She acted like a big sister. She made him write stories about Minecraft in French."
Month 3-4: The Grammar Grind
Once the fear was gone, they tackled the hard stuff. But they did it in bite-sized chunks. 15 minutes of grammar a day, no more.
Month 5-6: Past Papers
By now, Aryan was confident. He started doing past papers, not because he had to, but because he wanted to beat his high score.
