Certified French teacher with 10+ years of experience. PGDE + MA diplomas. Bonjour! I’m a certified French teacher with over 10 years’ experience, based in Scotland. My journey began with a Master’s in Languages and Applied Human Science, leading me from France to the North Sea islands and then Glasgow, where I completed my PGDE at Glasgow University. Since 2015, I’ve helped students of all ages master French, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, including exam preparation for NAT5, Higher, Advanced Higher, and DELF. I love sharing my passion for languages, history, music, and travel. Outside teaching, you’ll find me making music, watching films, reading, gaming, or exploring the countryside. If you’re looking for a friendly, experienced teacher who understands both French and British cultures, I’m here to help you reach your goals!

Russian, Italian, French | Former news editor from Moscow| Struggling with languages can be fun đŸ€ŒđŸ˜„ Hi and welcome! I'm native Russian speaker + Italian teacher + I speak English, French, a bit Turkish. Tatar princess and former TV editor who now helps people survive Russian grammar. Lessons will be surely very boring and painful. If you study Russian, I'll help you with full immersion in suffering according to Dostoevsky. Dark humor upon request! I love music (studied academic vocal, but then decided to stop torturing neighbours), sports & existential crises. I host a podcast in Russian about inspiring women, wrote a book about femme fatale. Also, I'm part mermaid đŸ§œâ€â™€ïž Freediving, swimming, anything with water... Oh, and I sail. Fun fact: Moscow is a "port of five seas" thanks to Soviet engineering. Ridiculous? Yes. Love it? Absolutely. I strive to build my lessons around each student’s interests, needs, and goals, creating a learning process that feels both effective and enjoyable. For me, learning a language is much more than memorizing grammar or vocabulary. It is a way to discover new ways of thinking, better understand other people and cultures, and expand the way we see the world. I enjoy creating lessons that go beyond textbooks. I often recommend podcasts, documentaries, interviews, and lectures, because authentic content helps language come alive. In our lessons, we talk not only about the language itself, but also about history, culture, psychology, travel, and everyday life.

Progress doesn't sound perfect. It sounds like someone who kept going. ✹ PassionnĂ©e de langues et d'Ă©ducation, j'enseigne le français en ligne depuis plusieurs annĂ©es avec une mĂ©thode qui m'est propre : flexible, structurĂ©e, basĂ©e sur la conversation rĂ©elle — et toujours bienveillante. Dans mes cours, les erreurs ne sont pas des Ă©checs — elles sont des Ă©tapes. En plus d’enseigner, j’ai travaillĂ© comme interprĂšte, traductrice et consultante linguistique pour une entreprise nord-amĂ©ricaine. Mais ce qui me dĂ©finit le mieux, c'est mon propre parcours avec les langues. Trois langues, trois chemins complĂštement diffĂ©rents. Le français, c'est ma langue maternelle. L'anglais, je l'ai appris en classe, mais surtout par curiositĂ©. Je viens d'un milieu ouvrier oĂč personne ne parlait d'autre langue que le français. Pourtant, Ă  douze ans, je lisais et je regardais des films en anglais. Et puis, je suis partie en au pair Ă  Édimbourg pour vivre vraiment la langue. L'espagnol, lui, a commencĂ© par un rejet total. Je ne l'aimais pas jusqu'Ă  ce que je parte au Mexique, oĂč j'ai vĂ©cu 8 ans. C'est l'immersion dans la culture, la littĂ©rature et le quotidien qui a fait que j'aime profondĂ©ment cette langue. Le goĂ»t d’apprendre les langues vient du contact humain. En pouvant communiquer avec les gens, mon monde s'agrandit. Un Ă©lĂšve m'a un jour contactĂ©e aprĂšs avoir scrapĂ© la plateforme Italki pour trouver le professeur de français avec le taux de rĂ©tention le plus Ă©levĂ©. Mon profil est apparu.

STOP scrolling, let's talk ! I'm from Serbia, but I live in France. I went to bilingual (french/serbian) High school in Belgrade. Afterwards, I got my Master's Degree in Law at university of Reims in France. After years of working in the legal field, I decided to change my career path, so I’m currently back at university studying translation from BCMS languages into French and vice versa. Foreign languages have always been my passion, and I love sharing that passion with others. That’s how I got into teaching languages! I always start by brief conversation with my students so I can understand their needs and expectations. Every student is different and the most important thing is to adjust my lessons to everyone. At first, you will tell me what do you wish to work on, either conversational or grammar skills, then I will prepare your lessons accordingly. At the end, you will tell me if that's what you were expecting and what would you like to work on next time.

📚All Levels A1-C2|đŸ—Łïž Specialized in Phonetics|đŸ„‡Certified examiner for all Exams|Confidence 100% You've studied French for years and you still freeze when someone speaks to you. That's not a talent problem but a method problem, I fix that. I'm a phonetics specialist and a certified examiner for every official French exam. I work exclusively with adults, and I hear the same story daily: years of classes, notebooks full of conjugation tables, and still that blank moment when a French person opens their mouth. I know it from the inside as I've learned several languages myself. 📊 6600+ lessons · 90% pass rate · 70% of my students prepare an official exam. Adults only, I don't teach children or teenagers. 🙂 đŸ—Łïž We start with sound. French doesn't sound the way it looks: liaisons swallow words, syllables disappear, the rhythm falls at the end of the group. We work on the vowels that don't exist in your language (dessus/dessous, poisson/poison), on intonation and liaisons until people stop asking you to repeat. đŸ„‡ Exam preparation: DELF · DALF · TCF · TCF Canada · TEF Canada. As an examiner, I know what the grids reward and where candidates lose points: diagnostic, format drills, point-saving strategies, mock exams corrected with the official grid and a realistic answer to "how many weeks do I need?" 💬 General French: no vocabulary lists, no grammar for its own sake. You speak from lesson one and build week by week — renting a flat, appointments, meetings, admin calls. Book a trial lesson: tell me your goal, and I'll tell you how to get there!

    Learning French

    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.

    I really enjoyed this lesson. Molka was patient and clear, explaining grammar points in simple, practical ways instead of just going over textbook rules. She encouraged me to speak up and gently corrected my mistakes, which helped build my confidence. The class pace suited me perfectly, and the materials were well-prepared. I felt I made visible progress in this session. I highly recommend this teacher. Looking forward to our next lesson!

  • Silindile Shozi

    Learning French

    Brian is perfect for anyone who wants to practise actually speaking French, rather than having someone speak mostly English and never really learning the language. He is patient and understanding, and even when I feel like giving up, he explains things again in slower French. That has been perfect for me as someone who has tried to learn French before but felt like I wasn’t progressing. His lessons push you to speak French, which has been really helpful for my development. If you want to actually learn to speak and have real conversations in French—not just memorise vocabulary that may not feel practical—I would definitely recommend him.

    I look forward to lessons with Virginie each week. We have fun and real conversations, and I can’t believe I’m able to converse so well and am able to express myself in another language. Virginie has been pivotal to my improvement as she takes notes during our conversations, so that I know where I need to improve. I feel relaxed and encouraged in my lessons with Virginie. Virginie is a fabulous teacher that I highly recommend!

    GaĂ«lle is an absolutely wonderful teacher! My 8-year-old daughter Margaret has only recently started learning French, and she already looks forward to every lesson. GaĂ«lle has a fantastic way of connecting with children. She is energetic, creative, patient, and makes learning feel like fun rather than schoolwork. They sing, laugh, play, and learn together, and Margaret genuinely enjoys every minute. As a parent, I couldn’t be happier. Finding a teacher who can inspire a child to love a new language is something special. We feel incredibly lucky to have found GaĂ«lle, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful French teacher!

    I have been taking lessons with Soulaimane for several months now, and I can clearly see the progress I have made. He has helped me improve my language skills, become more confident, and especially speak more naturally and fluently. His lessons are always enjoyable, well-structured, and adapted to my needs. He creates a comfortable environment where I can speak freely, practice, and learn from my mistakes. I highly recommend Soulaimane to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills and gain confidence in the language. Thank you, Soulaimane, for your patience, support, and dedication.

    Learning French

    Johanna was really great, and I'm very excited to be on this journey with her. She really made me feel at ease, which is impressive because I'm naturally quite shy and also a perfectionist -- which makes speaking in a foreign language very difficult. My level is very mixed because my learning path hasn't been straightforward, and I've used many different methods; but Johanna was able to identify a plan that I believe will work well. I feel very confident that I'll be able to improve my speaking while also shoring up basic grammar structures. She exuded calm and is clearly very organised and experienced.

Frequently asked questions about online French classes

What is the fastest way to learn to speak French?
