If you live in an urban area, you might find classes by Alliance Française. At least in my city, they offer grammar classes and conversation classes at relatively reasonable prices.

For self-study, I recommend Grammaire Progressive du Français (and Corrigées) by Clé International.

For reading and listening practice, I recommend the graded readers Lire et S'Entraîner by CIDEB.

You might be able to find these at your local city library.

I tutor French to school children in my city. I find that 20-25 hours of tutoring equals a school year of 200 hours of group classes. I use the Cle grammar books and the CIDEB readers during the tutoring.

Once the children have some basics, I read CIDEB graded readers with them. After about three books (booklets), they start reading and listening at home between lessons. After about 10 books at the A1 level and another 10 at the A2 level, we start reading newspaper articles and children's books in French.

Good luck!

I am far from being proficient in French but I will say that my experience with Alliance Française has been largely positive. Needless to say it would also depend on the teachers available in your locality but from what I gather, the institution has very high standards and you’re sure to get teachers with native level proficiency. The Fees aren’t that high either. Especially when you compare it with other online offerings.

Also, you might want to check out ‘Inner French’. The September intake has already begun. But the suggested Niveau is somewhere between A2 and B1 for this course. Have a look at their podcasts and videos as a sort of reference guide. If you’re able to understand close to 50% or more, you’re good to go.

My own Niveau is somewhere around the A2 mark so I’m afraid I’d be quite unsuited for the task of teaching. However, I am more than happy to practice alongside anyone learning the language.
