Native French Teacher with Master Degree in Didactics and DELF Examiner I am a native French teacher. I have extensive experience in language learning myself, as I studied Dutch language at university and now have a B2 level in Dutch. I am currently learning Spanish because I have lately become particularly interested in Hispanic culture. In addition, I have lived in several foreign countries: first in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium), and right now in Romania. Learning foreign languages is therefore part of my daily life. I hold a Master’s degree in Language Didactics (with highest honors) and I am also a certified DELF examiner and marker (A1–B2). I have taught a wide range of learners: adults with migrant backgrounds in France, illiterate learners, adults of all ages abroad, teenagers aged 11 to 18, and university students. Besides my passion for teaching and language learning, I am also passionate about history and politics. I enjoy hiking and I love dogs. My teaching approach is based on the task-based approach, in accordance with the CEFR recommendations. Classes are conducted entirely in French in order to ensure maximum immersion (although I can provide support in Dutch or English if needed). I work with authentic documents and realistic situations. I like using French method books like Edito, Inspire, Adopshère, and digital tools I develop all language skills: speaking, listening comprehension and pronunciation (phonetics), writing, and reading comprehension.

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.

✨ Develop your French efficiently with the magic of spaced repetition! 🎯 👉 I have taught conversational French for over a year to students of all levels and backgrounds. This experience has honed my teaching techniques and my ability to adapt to each student's specific needs. 👩‍🏫 After training with experienced teachers, I discovered the spaced repetition method, which I now integrate into my lessons. Unlike other approaches, I focus on mastering what has already been learned before introducing new concepts. I firmly believe that repeating scenarios helps students gain confidence and speak more fluently. 🔄️ Today, I find joy in watching my students overcome their challenges and improve their French, guiding them on this exciting linguistic journey.

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. Before becoming a Language Teacher, I worked in Journalism, at Paris Airport and in Sales.

I have worked with people from different countries with different backgrounds. I taught kids, adolescents and adults. I am constantly updating myself on new teaching methods to make my classes fun and enjoyable. J'ai trouvé la meilleure méthode pour apprendre une nouvelle langue qui est inspirée par la façon d'apprentissage des enfants. Elle est basée sur la communication orale et commence par l'écoute, puis parler et après lire et écrire. Durant mes cours, tu seras immergés dans la langue.

    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

    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.

  • 杨雪微 Xuewei Yang

    Learning French

    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.

    Gaëlle 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. Gaëlle 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 Gaëlle, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful French teacher!

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.

  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
