Une pédagogie vivante, encourageante et dynamique Bonjour ! Moi c'est Siu Je suis Française, multilingue, et j’aime profondément les échanges humains, le partage et la transmission. À travers mes voyages, mes expériences et mon parcours dans l’enseignement, l’animation et le bien-être, j’ai appris qu’on progresse beaucoup mieux quand on se sent à l’aise, encouragé et écouté. J’ai travaillé avec des enfants, des adolescents et des adultes, des publics en difficulté, dans des écoles, des associations, et aujourd’hui aussi avec un public international. Ce que j’aime avant tout, c’est aider les personnes à prendre confiance, à progresser à leur rythme, et à se sentir à l’aise en français. Avec moi, les cours s’adaptent vraiment à vous : à votre niveau, à vos objectifs, à vos centres d’intérêt et à votre façon d’apprendre. On peut travailler la conversation, la grammaire, le vocabulaire, la prononciation grâce jeux, des quiz, des textes ou des films, selon ce qui vous motive le plus. On peut aussi pratiquer le français de manière vivante, agréable, bienveillante. Mon but est que vous appreniez le français avec plaisir, dans une atmosphère détendue, motivante et humaine. si vous cherchez une professeure à l’écoute, encourageante et dynamique, je serai ravie de vous accompagner dans votre apprentissage du français. Au plaisir d’apprendre avec vous !

Professeure certifiée avec 10 ans d'expérience / Certified native French teacher with experience Bonjour ! :) Je m'appelle Marina. Je viens d'un petit village de Bourgogne. J'ai des origines portugaises et j’adore les chats : j'en ai 3 ! J'ai vécu : - dans plusieurs régions de France : à Dijon, à Lyon, à Grenoble et à Cayenne (en Guyane) - au Mexique : à Puebla - en Espagne : à Las Palmas de Gran Canaria et à Saragosse où j'habite désormais. Je suis passionnée par les langues et possède plusieurs certifications dont le DELE C2. J'écoute des podcasts dans différentes langues au quotidien et prends des cours en ligne depuis 2020. Après avoir étudié une licence de langues à Dijon, dont une année d'Erasmus à Saragosse (où je suis revenue pour m'y installer à long terme), j'ai suivi un master enseignement (MEEF) à l'Université Lyon 2 que j'ai ensuite terminé à Grenoble (l'année de ma titularisation après l'obtention du CAPES). Depuis, j'ai enseigné, en plus de cours particuliers : - le français à des collégiens et à des lycéens, en Espagne (à Saragosse et à Las Palmas) et au Mexique (à Puebla) et des cours de culture et de conservation à des adultes dans une célèbre banque aragonaise - l’espagnol à des lycéens, en France (à Grenoble et en Guyane). Je m'adapte selon vos besoins. Nous pouvons utiliser un livre (je peux vous fournir “Édito” en PDF), faire des exercices de grammaire ou encore commenter différents sujets à partir d’un podcast ou d’une vidéo. Je peux aussi vous aider dans la préparation d'examens ayant moi-même passé le DALF C2 pour travailler en Espagne.

    I have been taking lessons with Manu for about 2 months now, and he's the best. I really appreciate the attention he puts into crafting a course to tailor my needs, and he's excellent at finding areas you can improve at and working on them together. The course I take with him is a great mix of conversation and discussion, while also taking time to cover grammatical points or pronunciation when needed. In the two months we've been working together I feel like my conversational abilities have seen a real improvement, and I'm looking forward to continuing taking lessons with him.

    Je me prépare au TEF Canada avec Youcef depuis un mois et je constate des progrès évidents dans mon expression orale. Il m'a énormément aidé dans mon parcours, en me fournissant toujours des supports pertinents et des retours honnêtes. Il prend vraiment le temps de m'écouter avant de répondre et ne m'interrompt pas lorsque j'expose mes arguments, car il comprend combien il est difficile de s'exprimer dans une langue qui n'est pas sa langue maternelle. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne se préparant au TEF Canada. Merci beaucoup Youcef.

    Professeure Gilee is an excellent teacher. In fact, out of the 3 or 4 teacher's I've had on iTalki, she is the one who has provided the most structure to our lessons and provides goals to attain and works towards those goals consistently. Rather than just speaking with someone, which is important, she has provided opportunities for role playing that forces me to structure my conversations differently and develop new ways of speaking rather than relying on more basic forms. She is helping me to enrich my vocabulary and my communication style!

    Taking a class with Taka is like taking a class with my friend. Although he always has lessons ready to teach me, many times we end up discussing a variety of other topics because I love asking questions. Me being a curious person is not a problem for Taka because he is patient and always ready with answers. He gives examples and uses photos to help explain and make sure I understand. Best of all, Taka speaks at a pace that I can comprehend. He is able to speed up the pace or slow down if I give a questioning look. I always look forward to my classes with Taka. Thank you.

    I highly recommend Didier’s classes. He is always punctual and very professional. He has a very good understanding of the exam’s evaluation criteria, especially for the TCF Canada, which helped me better understand my weaknesses and work on them more effectively. When it comes to speaking, the small exercises he gave me were very helpful in improving my overall performance. Before taking his classes, I didn’t really pay much attention to my speaking pace. Didier also suggested a specific method for practicing this, which I found very useful. Thanks to his guidance and support, I was able to pass my exam successfully. I’m very grateful for all his help, patience, and encouragement throughout my preparation. Thank you very much, Didier!

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.

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.

Full fluency takes longer, usually 1–2 years, but 3 months of focused French lessons can help you understand slow, clear French and respond confidently in common situations.

How long does it take to learn French with a tutor?

It depends on your goals and study intensity, but most learners reach conversational French in 6-12 months when they work with an online French tutor. Regular private French lessons help you stay consistent, fix mistakes early, and get real speaking practice.

Basic French conversation (A2) typically takes 3–6 months with 2–3 French lessons per week.
Intermediate French fluency (B1–B2) may take 6–12 months while advanced fluency (C1–C2) may take 1–2 years.

A private French tutor speeds up your progress by providing immediate feedback and consistent speaking practice. Learners who book 3–5 French classes online per week usually move through levels faster than those studying only once a week.
