🇫🇷 Certified French Teacher | DELF, DALF, TEF & TCF | Speak French with Confidence Bonjour! I’m Hajar, a certified French teacher from Morocco. I’ve been teaching French for several years, and what I enjoy most is seeing the moment when a student goes from “I know the grammar, but I can’t speak” to actually expressing themselves comfortably in French. I work with adults at different levels, especially learners who want to improve their speaking, prepare for an exam, or simply feel more confident using French in everyday life. I also help students prepare for DELF, DALF, TEF and TCF. My lessons are structured, but never robotic. We work on the things you actually need: speaking, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, exam strategies, and the little details that make your French sound more natural. I’m also a healthcare professional, so I know what it’s like to communicate with people from different backgrounds and adapt the way you explain things. If you’re learning French for work, moving to a French-speaking country, preparing for an exam, or just tired of understanding French without being able to speak it, I can help. My goal is simple: I want you to leave each lesson feeling that your French has genuinely moved forward. So, tell me where you are with French, what you’re struggling with, and where you want to get. We’ll take it from there. 😊

DEEP CONVERSATIONALIST (FOCUS on INTROVERT, psychology, relationship) | YouTube & Podcast : Alex See INTROVERT and HIGHLY SENSITIVE, I empathize more easily with the difficulties of confidence when speaking and feel more of a connection with other introverts. I strongly believe that through deep conversations YOU will be able not only to express simple sentences but also DEEP feelings and thoughts. You too can obtain this feeling of accomplishment when you succeed in communicating in another language :) Imagine that you can speak French more naturally and more fluently. Imagine that you no longer have to think 3 minutes before finding a word. This is what I suggest you to do with me through conversations that may seem very simple. But which in reality will bring you vocabularies and correct your little mistakes. I am not a grammar teacher which is only secondary when we want to speak in a natural way. The most important thing is ACTION. And in the language, the action is to TALK, PRACTICE again and again. There is no secret. If you are ready to improve, follow me. DELF ORAL PREPARATION Hi ! My name is Alex ! I'm a french native speaker. I was born and grew up in France, near Paris. I have been moving around Asia since 2018.

Learning to Speak, Speaking to Learn Many adults who already speak French feel that something is not quite right when they speak. They can express ideas, but it often feels approximate, unclear, or not fully natural. Sometimes, they don’t quite sound like themselves. In most cases, this is not really a vocabulary or grammar problem. It comes from how the language is built in speech, especially pronunciation, rhythm, and structure. In my lessons, we focus on that level. Not just practicing speaking, but rebuilding how your spoken French is formed, so it becomes clearer, more stable, and more precise. This includes pronunciation, grammar, and expression, not as separate elements, but as parts of a coherent whole. Speaking is not something that improves by chance. It needs to be built carefully, with attention to how sentences are formed, how sounds are produced, and how ideas are expressed. My role is not just to correct you, but to help you notice and adjust your own speech. Instead of giving answers immediately, I guide you so you can find them yourself whenever possible. This helps you build a deeper understanding of how the language works. I pay close attention to details that are often overlooked, especially pronunciation and structure, because these are what make your speech clear and stable over time. The goal is not just to practice speaking, but to build a way of speaking that you can rely on.

Native French speaker helping you unlock real conversations! Hi! I’m Manon, a French native from the Alps, now living in sunny Marseille. Languages have always fascinated me. I’m currently learning Swedish (hej!), used to speak Spanish, and have some basics in Italian. I love the little “aha!” moments and the joy of making progress, it’s what drew me to teaching in the first place. I once lived in Finland as an au pair, an experience that deepened my love for languages and cultural exchange, and I'm also a cello teacher, which taught me how to adapt, encourage, and support each learner. My goal is to make French feel natural and fun, so you can build confidence and enjoy every step of the journey! I believe the best way to remember a word is to use it, so we’ll talk a lot. And I know how hard it can be to learn a language: feeling stuck, lost, or unsure where to start. So my goal is to make you feel comfortable, supported, and to help you see real progress! I adapt to your level, personality, and what works best for you. No pressure, no judgment, just a space where you can try, make mistakes, and keep moving forward. Learning a language is no small thing, it’s amazing! You’re doing something brave and impressive. Let’s make it fun!

    Manon is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are always interesting, enjoyable, and well-prepared. We've been studying together for over six months, and I can really see how much I've improved. I started with almost no French, and now I can actually have conversations, which feels amazing :) We spend a lot of time speaking during our lessons, and Manon always brings interesting topics, texts, and activities to discuss. She creates a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where it's easy to practice and learn without feeling nervous about making mistakes. I always look forward to our lessons and would happily recommend Manon to anyone who wants to learn French!

    I've had the pleasure of learning French with Maïli for a few lessons now and cannot recommend her enough. Somehow, she strikes just the right balance between letting me ramble on in French and jumping in to correct common mistakes and words that she notices I struggle with. Her style of teaching is great for both building confidence and learning the particularities of the language simultaneously, and I've certainly noticed my French really improve since we started lessons. On top of that she's always friendly and enthusiastic to teach, and always has a nice idiom for any occasion --- very effective for making one's French a little more natural!

    Romain is a phenomenal teacher! He’s kind, engaging, and an exceptional conversationalist. I love the balance between structure and flexibility in his lessons. The materials cover diverse topics while leaving room for spontaneous conversations. As someone who asks tons of questions, I appreciate how clearly and patiently he explains things! Since I speak Portuguese and English, connecting French to Portuguese makes a huge difference. Concepts I was trying to learn for months, Romain explained them in less than four minutes! Beyond French, his extensive knowledge makes conversations profoundly enriching. I feel like I’m learning about life, culture, and different perspectives, not just a language. I also appreciate his approach to corrections: he gives room to find your own words and build confidence. After just a couple of lessons, I feel like I’ve progressed beyond what I could’ve imagined! I leave every lesson feeling fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t recommend him enough!! 😊

  • Grace

    Josie is amazing! I really wanted to improve my conversational skills, and I chose her because she seemed dynamic and fun in her video. I’m now more than 20 lessons in and I can definitely confirm that she is not only engaging and easy to talk to, but also incredibly diligent, energetic, smart, thoughtful and hilarious. I expected that we would simply chat in French for an hour each week, and we definitely do that, which has improved my speaking ability immensely. But Josie also goes out of her way to make her lessons as comprehensive and personalized as possible. I moved to France a year and a half ago, and she has been very thoughtful about structuring lessons that will help me to navigate daily life in France and give me exposure to important cultural references. She also tries to make my French less formal and textbook, and more colloquial and natural, which I appreciate immensely. In short, she’s pretty much the idea French teacher!

  • Patrick Walentiny

    Learning French

    I came to Lenaïg with the goal of progressing my French skills from near zero to B1. After 4 sessions I am feeling incredibly confident that I will be able to reach my goal with her help, if I am willing to dedicate the time and effort. I have an anxiety streak, especially around learning new things with an audience but her approach has made this very easy for me. Our sessions feel less like a formal instructor and more like a conversation with a friend. Lenaïg's English is incredibly clear. If you are considering her as an instructor and are coming from a native English background, don't hesitate to book a lesson.

  • Wing lam Cheung

    During the lessons, I discussed a lot of TCF speaking topics with Rim, for example, environmental issues and health topics. I learned how to organize my speech and how to speak more fluently in French. Also, Rim encouraged me to think of different angles for each topic. She definitely helped me a lot in preparing for the exam.

  • Sherry

    Learning French

    I achieved 13 in both speaking and writing with his guidance for TCF Canada. I’m now preparing for DELF B2 and am still learning with him! I highly recommend Sekimi! I’ve taken more than 40 lessons with him, and he helped me go from struggling to express myself to being able to communicate much more freely in French. He is very patient and knows the TCF exam requirements extremely well. Highly recommended! 😊

Frequently asked questions about online French classes

What is the fastest way to learn to speak French?

The fastest way to learn to speak French is with an online French tutor. Working with a tutor ensures your time is focused on the skills that matter most, mistakes are corrected immediately, and your lessons adapt to your level and goals.

To make the most of your learning, take private French lessons tailored to your current level and goals, schedule conversational French classes to practice speaking in real situations and build confidence, and track your progress to adjust focus. Your French teacher can pinpoint weak spots, like pronunciation or verb usage, so every session helps you improve steadily. You can also access free French learning resources, which will help you develop your grammar and vocabulary, and writing skills. This coupled with an italki French tutor will help you on your path to French fluency.

What is the 80/20 rule for learning French?

The 80/20 rule suggests that roughly 20% of what you study produces about 80% of your progress. For French learners, this means focusing on the high-value areas that you use most: common verbs, everyday vocabulary, core grammar patterns, and regular speaking practice.

On italki, a French tutor can help you apply the 80/20 rule by identifying the skills and topics that matter most for your goals. Instead of spending time on rarely used grammar or obscure vocabulary, your private French tutor guides your online French lessons to stay focused, helping you see progress faster.

Are private French tutors worth it?

Yes, private French tutors are worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your French learning.

Hiring a private French tutor is worth it because:

  • Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether it’s French lessons for beginners or French conversation classes.
  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
  • Tutors can adjust your French lessons online to focus on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Many learners find that combining private French lessons with additional resources, like apps or podcasts, makes learning more efficient and keeps them motivated.

Can you learn French without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn French without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with a French tutor or an online French tutor.

A French tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • 🛠️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos. It works, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online French tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine private French lessons with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How much does a French tutor cost?

French tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private French tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a French teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online French lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is 3 months enough to learn French?

Yes. With intensive French classes and a dedicated French tutor, you can reach a basic conversational level (A2-B1). At this stage, you can hold simple conversations, introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, and manage everyday travel situations.
