Juriste francophone ayant remporté et participé à plusieurs concours d'éloquence. Je suis Philippe, juriste et francophone depuis ma naissance. Cela fait donc plusieurs décennies que je parle et communique en français. Entre 2013 et 2016, j’ai également été enseignant dans une université de langue, la première créée dans mon pays, le Togo. J'ai également participé et remporté plusieurs concours d’éloquence, dont les Joutes Verbales Francophones (2016) et le concours de simulations des élections présidentielles américaines au Togo (2017). Je conçois la langue comme le véhicule de culture et de valeurs au-delà des mots et des expressions. Apprendre le français, c'est aussi, en plus de maitriser les mots, embrasser l'histoire et la culture de différents peuples. Ce que je propose donc est un voyage avec plusieurs destinations dans différentes cultures. Je ne suis pas adepte des méthodes d'enseignement classiques consistant à enfermer l'apprenant dans une salle de classe et à lui faire accepter toute idée. Je serai comme un guide aidant l'apprenant à découvrir langue et en tomber amoureux. Pour moi, un cours peut commencer par une actualité, une vidéo, une présentation ou encore une curiosité.

J'aime parler de n'importe quel sujet, découvrir de nouvelles personnes et enseigner mes connaissances. C'est pourquoi l'enseignement du FLE me plaît : on aide l'apprenant à s'améliorer en français tout en apprenant de nombreuses choses culturelles ! 😊 Il est très important pour moi que mes étudiants se sentent à l'aise en classe. J'aime instaurer un climat de confiance et une ambiance détendue en cours😉 Mon enseignement se base sur plusieurs principes. Tout d'abord, l'analyse du niveau. Pour cela, la leçon d'essai de 30 minutes est primordiale. En plus, cela permet de faire connaissance ! ☺️ Puis il faut connaître votre objectif (examen DELF / TEF, discussion pour le plaisir, approfondissement de la grammaire, sujets culturels). Il est nécessaire de le savoir pour adapter notre plan pour les leçons futures. Vient ensuite, la pratique de la langue à partir des activités préparées en amont. Pour finir, une correction des erreurs bienveillante et essentielle pour améliorer son niveau de français. Le but est que vous atteigniez vos objectifs en français tout en prenant du plaisir à pratiquer la langue ! ✨ Merci de noter que je n'enseigne pas aux enfants ni aux grands débutants. Mes cours sont adaptés aux adultes (<18 ans) et aux personnes capables de tenir une conversation avec un natif (A2+ minimum). ONLY ADULTS AND A2+ MINIMUM. Thanks 😊

Graduated from Sorbonne-Nouvelle Paris | 4+ years @ Alliance Française Brussels & 11 years on italki Hi! I am a French teacher who holds a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Civilization from the University of Angers (Western France), a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language from the University of Paris III Sorbonne-Nouvelle and a Diploma in Translation from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada). I chose to live and teach abroad (Canada, England, Spain, Belgium) to enjoy discovering other cultures, people and environments and was highly rewarded in doing so. I have taught French to students from all over the world, mainly adults, at all levels, in groups as well as in private lessons, at various schools, in corporations, in all of the European Institutions in Brussels - including staff of the President of the European Commission - and in the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Those classes included the preparation to exams such as DELF & DALF. I draw on my experience both as a language teacher and as a language student to deliver the best quality teaching I can. STUDENT FEEDBACK ★ I can't say enough how encouraging and supportive Elisabeth is. She was perceptive enough as a teacher to see that I was feeling discouraged over my listening abilities and she coached me through it. She is not only skilled in teaching, she is also generously patient, understanding, and attentive. ★ If I could give Elisabeth 6 stars for being supporting and encouraging, I would. [...] She is as supportive as she is knowledgeable about teaching French.

    An excellent lesson with Manon. Her teaching methods help me build vocabulary in French and she helps make my French sound more natural with exercises and discussions. I feel my French getting better with each lesson. Amazing teacher ! I will keep getting lessons with her. She’s great ! Merci beaucoup Manon !

    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.

    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.

  • Gabriel

    Learning French

    Well, that's my last review here. I got NCLC7 Expression Orale and NCLC9 EE in my FIRST TEF. This is definitely due to following Youcef's lessons with discipline. If I could give anyone a single advice onto how to get this score, it would be: do not go any farther over Italki searching for a teacher. Start your lessons with Youcef today and stick to the plan, trust the process. Have discipline and study with him. Studying with him is having a friend who really cares about your success and knows everything about the french exams; not only a teacher who corrects mistakes. As I scheduled this last lesson, I only had one objective, and I did it: I taught this phrase my wife and we said together : Merci beaucoup, Youcef !!!

  • Junko Asakura

    Learning French

    She is the best for both the General French and the DELF preparation! As for the General French, over 4 years my learning experience has evolved thanks to her approach to tailor the lessons. I learn French for a professional objective, and my situation has changed: the language level, the responsibilities on the job, and the context of the work. Accordingly, she has constantly adapted materials and methods. That has developed my skill in an organic way. In terms of DELF preparation, she guided me step by step. At the beginning, DELF felt daunting. She began with basics but the guidance did not limit to them: from the grammar to the quality of arguments, from required vocabulary to nuances and precision, from pointing out recurring errors to identifying the areas to develop. By the day of the test, the fear had transformed to confidence. She walked me through the learning journey with a strong engagement and encouragement. That motivated me and consolidated my French. Thank you Jade!

  • Gurmandeep

    Really happy with my lessons with Amma so far! Still prepping for the TCF, but every lesson is focused and practical — lots of exam-style practice, clear explanations, and genuinely helpful feedback. What I appreciate most is how patient and clear she is, stuff I used to struggle with actually makes sense now. Already feel a lot more confident in my French. Highly recommend if you're working toward the TCF specifically!

    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.

  • Jason Lavin

    Learning French

    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!

  • Kemal Bozkurt

    Sabine Lea is the best french teacher I have ever met, she makes everything so easy to understand that you want to learn more and more.With her tools she makes every lesson fun and something to look forward in your day.She has a very warm and welcoming personality that you feel like you are talking to your friend and not your teacher.She always has a clear plan and lots of interesting activities to do in our lessons.Also she adapts our lessons to my needs and wants.We mix different parts of french throughout our lessons like having a french conservation adapted to my level about my day and habits at the beginning of each lesson sometimes followed by reading a passage about the things that i am interested in and so much more different stuff.Even when i am tired she adapts the intensity of the course that i never get overwhelmed whilst learning french.She is a great teacher and i can assure you that you will learn french super easily.

    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.

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.
