What is CEFR?
It is the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. It is a guideline that is being used to describe language proficiency from Beginner level to Advanced level.
Note: CEFR and TEF grading system are not the same. CEFR is a general framework, however TEF is a specific exam with its own scoring system which then can be converted to a CEFR level.Therfore for the purpose of TEF, the minimum level required to do well in TEF and obtain a CLB 7 is to get to B2 level of French Knowledge.
At Tobidam, our programs are designed from the start to help students learn French and pass the TEF Canada exam successfully. The minimum level required to do well on the TEF exam and achieve at least CLB 7 is Upper-Intermediate (B2). After reaching this level, students should enroll in TEF Preparatory Classes, which take an additional 1–2 months depending on individual learning speed. Depending on the package selected, students can achieve their goal of learning French and passing the TEF exam in just 6–8 months.

I got a job offer from Canada that required me to be very effective in French. Though I work in Congo, my French was pidgin French, in addition I needed to master it to be able to Pass TEF. So through a popular Nigerian forum dedicated to talking about TEF, I saw Tobidam being mentioned. Although I contacted other schools but their arrangements didn’t fit mine because I am working and I needed a Private tutoring. After finding Tobidam, I contacted and booked for 12 hours/week. Surprising from the first month , my level of French improved, but was ready after 8 months of 4 days per week to finally achieve : C1, C1, B2, C1. Tobidam school is phenomenal and recommended for people who need good results and are willing to work very hard for it

As a result of my dream to immigrate to Canada, I went in search of how to master French to Pass TEF. I reside in the United Kingdom, so I decided to hire two native speakers respectively, my speaking was ok to an extent, but I have not yet grasped it well. Then after I signed in for two of the notable French institutes known for teaching French, their program outline was too slow and was not tailored towards passing TEF. Then I began to search online and found Tobidam. It was a 16 hours/week rigorous class almost every day. In a nutshell, I wrote my exams and my results were: C1, C1, C1, B2. I recommend Tobidam, though online and rigorous but superbly effective.

I will love to say a big thank you to Mr. Tobi Gbadamosi, the founder of Tobidam and his tutors for a great job well done. Learning languages has never been my forte. I ran away from high school, not until I needed it to immigrate to Canada. Due to my busy schedule, I needed a Private class and also an experrienced tutor in the field. My colleagues suggested Tobidam, I contacted the school for one-on-one and i began the following day. To my amazement, after one week i was amazed how easy French could be. That gave me courage to move on. 5 days a week, 3 hours per day, 3 hours personal preparation, it was hectic, but the results showed the fruit of my labour as I came with flying colours in my TCF: C1, C1, C1, C1. I am so happy. I recommend Tobidam to every one.
I appreciate

I have known some basic French like ” Bonjour “, ” Au revoir” in Primary school. So, when I found out I would need it for French, I thought it will be just those easy ones. I was schocked when I saw what I needed to know to pass. As an engineer, Arts subjects is kinda boring to me, and I had to increase my CRS scores for Canada Immigration. All the centers I contacted to train me never had the late night class to train me since I close late from work. So, a friend in the same journey recommended Tobidam. Luckily, Mr. Tobi himself was the one that attended to me. Very gentle but strict. He doesn’t joke with class works and assignments at all everyday. After much drilling of about 7 months altogether of learning french from scratch. I surprised myself by getting C2, C2, C2, C1 in my TCF. However, I must say I worked excruciatingly hard for it. Thanks Mr.Tobi.

I found Tobidam through Google search. I for one never knew that I would need French for anything in my life not until I wanted to travel to Canada, To boost my scores since I am in my late thirties. I enrolled for the one-on-one package which is 15hrs/week, 5 days/week for 6 months altogether. It was really exhausting and I must do classwork and assignments for those days. Having written 50 letters and 35 Fait-divers with hard labour. I got my TEF results showing : C2, C1, B2, C1. I am really grateful!

I applied to a university in Canada but the language of instruction is in French because it is a French based university, so I decided to learn French before resumption. I barely had 3 months to resumption before I contacted Tobidam. I booked a private session with them while still doubting the possibility. I was very surprised that at the end of the first month that I was already through with A1. After the 3 months, I was so fluent and confident that I could read and undestand my course outlines in French and even made some French friends online. Thanks Tobidam.
Wonderful Results

We are a group of 4 friends who planned learning French to improve our CRS scores. So I am like the group leader. So a former student of Tobidam referenced the school to us since we have been previously trying to learn by ourself to no avail. Therefore, we decided to register with the school. Firstly, I was impressed with their course outline which was very orgainised. I immediately fell in love with the school from the first day. The teaching was as simple as ABC that I was beginning to wonder, is this the same French we were struggling with. Lo and behold , after about 9 months, all four of us got C1 parallel except one person that had one B2 upper. I highly recommend Tobidam, they know their onions.

The journey to Canada is not for the faint-hearted. I never realized that I will ever need French at all in my life because I never cared about it in my high school days. I wanted a school that could genuinely teach me French in 6 months. Before I came to Tobidam, I contacted other schools but their program was not convincing enough. So I got to find out about Tobidam and called them. I love their packages so, I decided to start their VIP classes. I must say it was both intensive and tasking together. I had to write assignment and practice speaking daily. Lest I forget the TEF preparatory classes were loads of hardwork. Submitting 3 letters and faits-divers as assignments regularly. But all in all, it ended in praise. I got C2, C2, C1, C1.
Splendid results

I went to few french online schools before coming to Tobidam, Let me just say I wasted my time with those schools. After spending like 3 months there, I decided to enroll at Tobidam and start all over again. I booked for 12hours/week classes. Though it was evening classes after my work schedule, I had to commence my late night classes immediately after work and Monsieur Tobi will always be on my neck for both writing & speaking assignments aside classwork. It was challenging though, but I improved in a short while much more than I expected. My LRSW improved dramatically that before the TEF exams, I knew that I would do very well. I was blessed with : C2. C2, C2, C1. Thanks a lot Monsieur Tobi of the great Tobidam school!
