As a teacher and community tutor, I get a lot of gratification out of conveying information in accessible ways, and making learning easy and fun for my students! I believe people learn best when they are comfortable and engaged, and will do my very best to make sure my students are at ease and find my lessons interesting. I am very patient, and do not mind meeting you where you are. Je suis pédagogue et patiente, et en tant qu'enseignante, je tâche d'être aussi compréhensible et clair que possible. A mes yeux, les élèves qui apprennent le mieux sont ceux qui sont à l'aise et intéressés, et j'oeuvre donc pour fournir un environnement propice à cela lors de mes cours.

English Conversation, vocabulary and grammar!! Akan twi from scratch!! Book a trial lesson!! I generally like to work with a structured plan but in as much as the goal is to obtain the desired results, I am aware that if lessons are not relatable, personalised and self-expressed then the overall goal of learning the language will not be met. I also understand that as a Teacher sometimes, its important to go with the flow or adjust the tempo to enable good learning.

Let's start your learning adventure with a certified👨🏽‍🎓 and native teacher more than 10 years!!! Learning a language is much like learning a musical instrument—such as the guitar. Without regular practice, progress is limited. The same applies to language learning: theory alone isn't enough. To truly improve, active practice is essential from the very beginning—and it can be an enjoyable process! I recommend combining both conversation and grammar lessons for the most effective results. Before booking a general or exam-focused lesson, please schedule a trial session. This allows me to assess your level and learning goals, so I can tailor the lessons to best support your progress.

Learn French with a Native Speaker! | Friendly Lessons for All Levels Bonjour! I'm Laura, a native French speaker. I was born and raised in Geneva, Switzerland, where I did all my schooling in French, and I recently graduated from New York University with a Master's in International Relations. I'm passionate about languages. I speak French, English, Spanish and Croatian fluently, and I've recently started learning Mandarin, so I know what it feels like to be a beginner. I learned Spanish by living in Madrid for a year and speaking it every day, which is why I believe the best way to learn is to practice and speak with a native. I have experience teaching French to children in New York. I planned my own lessons, tracked each student's progress and adapted my methods to different learning styles. My lessons are for everyone, from complete beginners to advanced students. We'll start by looking at your level and goals, then I'll adapt each lesson to your needs. We can focus on conversation, grammar or exam preparation, whether you're preparing for a trip to France, for work, or simply learning for fun. I can't wait to meet you and help you get where you want to be with French. Book a trial lesson, and let's get started!

Native French Conversation Tutor 🌿 Helping Adults Speak Naturally | A2–C2 | Based in Scotland Hello ! I'm Marylène, and I help learners improve their French through relaxed conversation practice. My goal is to help you become more fluent, expand your vocabulary, and feel more comfortable speaking French. Before becoming a tutor, I worked as a florist in Paris, where I was also responsible for training apprentices. This experience taught me how to listen carefully, adapt my approach to each learner, and create a positive atmosphere where everyone can progress at their own pace. Outside of teaching, I enjoy travelling, art and illustration, long walks in nature, and discovering films and series. I love learning about other people too, so our conversations can be about these topics—or anything else you're passionate about. These sessions are designed for learners who already have a foundation in French and want to improve their fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence through speaking practice. We'll discuss topics that interest you: everyday life, culture, travel, hobbies, current events, or any subject you enjoy. I'll help you express your ideas more naturally, introduce useful vocabulary and expressions, and provide personalised corrections without interrupting the flow of the conversation. My approach focuses on communication rather than traditional grammar classes. However, when helpful, I'll explain vocabulary, expressions, or grammar points that support your communication. I look forward to meeting you! 😊

Multilingual voice artist, accent coach & language tutor. Top 1% teacher on Italki 🎉 !!!Limited availability during my UGC trip to Mexico (1-20/10) but do reach out and we will find a time!! Watch my video speaking in all my languages. I like calling myself a ''world citizen'' with a serious case of wanderlust. I've been blessed with the privilege of a very international upbringing; I've lived in 7 different countries growing up which gave me the possibility to broaden my horizons, experience new cultures, meet interesting people, and learn new languages in their native countries. I'm fun, open-minded and love having conversations about various topics. I always give my students the opportunity to choose the topic of conversation they're interested in (if they want to) and then I find relevant material and resources to prepare a class. I'm extremely patient and supportive and never tired of giving explanations when required. Please note that in accordance with the website's terms and conditions, you cannot reschedule or cancel a lesson in the last 24h before the class takes place. My lessons are designed especially for each individual student after the trial lesson when I evaluate the student's level and are mainly based on conversation and oral comprehension while of course covering other parts of the language such as correct pronunciation, grammar, and syntax when necessary. I always try to keep them fun and of course interactive to keep the motivation going! At each class, we want to learn something new and also practice/recap newly acquired knowledge.

French Tutor | TCF/TEF Preparation & Structured Lessons Hi! I'm Youcef, 30 years old, based in Algeria. I'm a native French speaker who also speaks English and Arabic fluently, and I've always loved connecting with people through language. Before teaching, I spent years in international hospitality and customer relations, talking every single day with people from all over the world. That experience taught me just how much clear, confident communication matters — and that's exactly what I want to help you build. I work with students from A1 to C1, and I focus on two main areas: 🎓 TCF/TEF Preparation — I guide you through every section (reading, listening, writing, speaking) with targeted practice and proven exam strategies to help you reach your target score. 📖 Structured French Lessons — A clear, step-by-step method covering grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, adapted to your needs, whether it's for work, travel or moving abroad. I also offer conversation practice for anyone who wants to build real fluency and confidence. What sets me apart is the atmosphere: in my class, there's no stress. You can speak freely, ask anything, and learn through the topics you actually love — movies, music, video games and more — because learning should first and foremost stay a pleasure. My goal is to grow your vocabulary, make it flow naturally, and teach you the real expressions French speakers use every day. So if you're looking for a patient, motivated and genuinely motivating tutor, come and take a look at my page. Let's learn together!

    Madame Cécile is still my favorite tutor! She is patient, professional, and always attentive to my needs. I really appreciated her support and guidance while preparing for the DELF B1 exam. After passing the B1 exam, I naturally decided to continue learning with her to prepare for the DELF B2, particularly the speaking section. I highly recommend her lessons!

    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!! 😊

    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!

    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.

    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.

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
