You might also try Berlitz Language Schools...I am an ESL teacher there and although the cost can sometimes be prohibitive the value of their total immersion classes are quite good.  The nice thing about Berlitz is that the private lessons will cater to what you want to learn whether it be for a specific business presentation or how to the necessary social interrogatives.  You can also choose an intensive class for two/three/four weeks.
Many times they also have group classes which are more economical and the class size is generally limited to a small number.

If those options don't work for you...Berlitz has books, tapes, and cd-roms to learn on your own.

You might also try contacting a local university to see if there are any French Majors or Intl students who would be willing to be tutors/conversation partners.

Hope this helps...and no I am not getting a commission!
