Welcome to the French Professor! This website was specifically designed to help public servants get the level they want in the Oral Language Assessment (OLA), by using tools and resources that can be found in one convenient place.

We offer 21 simulators which contain over 600 questions to better prepare you for the OLA. The Basic Simulator is free and we ask for a monthly donation of 2 $ to use the 20 other simulators.

Under the Resources tab, you will find tools, tips and tricks that will give you an edge before you even start the assessment, while under the Documents tab, you will find documents which were used for older online tools that are no longer available but that are still useful. Be sure to check both these tabs out!

The French Professor also offers 4 different classes: OLA Live Simulation, OLA Tutoring, Conversation, and our brand new Regular classes, if you’d like to simply learn French!

Martin responded immediately and was able to fit in 8 1-hr lessons before my exam (I am abroad, so finding times was challenging!). We did a number of simulation exams – all exact replicas […]
