About French Toast
Who we are
Since 2011, French Toast Language Centre has grown from private tuition into a lively language centre for adults, children, schools and companies in Singapore.
Our native and experienced French teachers combine structured language progression with warmth, culture and practical classroom experience. Lessons are designed to be clear, encouraging and useful beyond the classroom.
Today, French Toast focuses on our Novena centre, online lessons, private tuition and exam preparation, while French Studio is our East Coast sister school for learners around Katong and Marine Parade.
Fun fact: why “French Toast”?
Nowadays, any great chef has a French toast recipe, but the dish’s beginnings were much humbler. Originating in the 14th century, it became popular among lower-income households. Bread was cheap and easy to make, but it could not be kept for long and had to be eaten quickly. The dish was a way to use bread that had gone stale and become too hard to eat, instead of throwing it away or giving it to animals. That is why it is called pain perdu in French: pain means bread, and perdu, literally “lost”, refers to something that would otherwise be wasted.
