Native speaker (qualified French teacher & 5 years of experience) & TEFL teacher Bonjour! Je m'appelle Louise, je suis française et professeure de FLE & EFL (English Foreign Language) :) Passionnée de voyages, je sais combien la pratique d'une langue est importante & est gage d'une meilleure expérience. Through my travels I have realized that the best way to learn a language is to practice it. For this reason, I like to focus on conversation while leaving room for theory for better execution in the long run. I love teaching my mother tongue and talking about the culture that goes with it while learning about the culture of others. We share so many differences and similarities that bring us together, I think it's great to meet people from all over the world :) I prioritize the way the learner wishes to proceed, practical, theoretical or both, I adapt to all profiles. To make the lesson interactive and motivating, I use a variety of documents according to your interests and sometimes ask YOU to choose the theme of the lesson so that we can discuss this topic together & you feel more comfortable talking in French about something you like or know, while keeping communication goals close to reality. Finally, I can help with correction and give homework if the learner is motivated to learn French in his/her free time. J'ai hâte de faire ta connaissance, à très vite ! :)

Polyglot with Experience in Over 15+ Languages My sessions are chill 😂 I think language learning comes the easiest through casual, laid-back conversation and vibes. We're all used to high-school language class that ruined the joy of language learning and made it an exercise. I find vocabulary is always more important than grammar, so our focus will be on learning as many words as possible. Mistakes are normal, the goal is to express yourself and share ideas :) We can customize your lesson to your needs. Tell me if there is something that helps you learn better. Outside of the lessons, I prepare materials and find solutions to your problems. Seeing you improve makes me feel good as a teacher, so I try to work hard.

Qualified & experienced French teacher - 14 years of experience - DELF / DALF / TEF / TCF examiner Qualified and experienced French teacher with 14 years of experience in Scotland and France including 8 years online. I own a Master's degree in History (1st), a French as a foreign language teaching degree (DAEFLE) and I am an accredited DELF-DALF, TEF and TCF examiner. I love sports (fitness, jiu-jitsu and beach volley), dancing (latin dances), traveling, foreign languages and meeting people from all around the world! I am passionate about my job and have been developing my teaching material for 10 years now. I love using a wide array of documents and strive to help my students improve the best as possible. I am a very sporty person and my classes are therefore also very dynamic. I have a master's degree in history and am a huge fan of foreign languages and cultures so will be very happy to explain to you aspects of contemporary France. My lessons are fun and efficient, my students have a good time but achieve their goals in a timely and productive manner as well. Classes focus on the student's ability to complete real-life tasks (talking about your family / holidays, writing a cv / essay, go for shopping / ask or give directions etc). The grammar always comes second never first, because you learn by using the language to complete every day tasks, not by conjugating verbs without aim.

    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.

    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.

Les échanges sont approfondis, intéressants et toujours très bien structurés. J’apprécie particulièrement la précision de ses retours : elle identifie clairement mes erreurs et m’explique comment les corriger et progresser. J’aime aussi beaucoup le fait que chaque cours soit bien préparé et que nous sachions à l’avance ce que nous allons travailler lors de la séance suivante.

    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.

Thanks to her guidance, I achieved an incredible CLB 9 in speaking and successfully cleared the TEF across all four modules. I’m extremely grateful for all her help and would highly recommend Caroline to anyone preparing for the TEF or looking to improve their French. Thank you so much, Caroline!

  • Sylvie C

    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.

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.

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.
