🌎 Ease into conversational level without fear but with laughter and enthusiasm!! My preferred approach to teaching French is that is should be fun, stressless and focused on giving students a level of fluency so that they have the confidence to handle a conversation. While reading and writing is important, being able to communicate in a foreign language is from far, in my view, the most satisfying and rewarding aspect.

I’m Salomé ! I have been teaching French online for the past three years online, helping students of different levels build confidence, improve their communication skills, and deepen their understanding of the language. I have also completed internships at the Institut Français du Maroc, where I supported students in preparing for various French-language exams and helped them develop effective learning strategies. Beyond teaching, I am actively involved in volunteering, which has strengthened my communication skills and my ability to connect with people from different backgrounds. I am also a passionate writer, and I have published a book. This experience allows me to bring literature, creativity, and culture into my lessons. Whether you want to learn French from scratch, improve your fluency, prepare for an exam, or simply deepen your knowledge of French-speaking culture and literature, I can adapt my lessons to your goals and interests. I am the ideal candidate for anyone looking for an experienced, and versatile French tutor who can make learning both engaging and meaningful.

Pratiquons ensemble le français sans aucun complexe pour que tu puisses gagner en confiance ! Enchantée, moi, c'est Kristen, j'ai 25 ans et suis originaire de Bretagne. J'ai eu la chance de vivre un an au Japon pendant un PVT juste extraordinaire d'octobre 2025 à 2026 et suis rentrée en France il y a peu de cette aventure. J'adore la culture japonaise et apprends également le Japonais à mon rythme. À propos de moi, je suis quelqu'un de tranquille, de patient et de curieux. Je veux créer un espace chaleureux d'échange où chacun se sente en sécurité pour pouvoir parler français sans être complexé ! Pendant une leçon avec moi, je veux que tu puisses te détendre et parler de ce que tu aimes ou as envie de partager. Si tu emmènes ta tasse de café, de thé, c'est encore mieux ! Je veux proposer du sur-mesure pour chacun : si besoin d'une explication à un endroit plus précis, je peux rechercher plus précisément pour mieux expliquer la prochaine fois, par exemple. Ou si tu as des envies particulières, partage-les, je suis ouverte aux idées un peu loufoques ! J'adorerais que tu te sentes totalement à l'aise de t'essayer à parler français avec moi. Si c'est dur pour toi de dire une phrase entière, si tu as l'impression de prendre un temps infini à parler et de faire pleins de fautes... Viens, on se rencontre et on en discute ensemble ! J'ai hâte de te rencontrer 😊 À bientôt peut-être !

Native French in Asia, Master, 10 years experience China & Asia DELF DALF TEF, 10年教学经验,母语者,专业教师,教育硕士 I am a professor with a Master’s degree in Education, a DAEFLE certification, and am a certified examiner for the DELF/DALF and the TEF Canada. 我拥有教育学硕士学位和DAEFLE证书,同时也是DELF/DALF及TEF Canada的授权考官。 Now that I'm retired, I continue to teach out of a passion for education and the French language. 虽然已经退休,但我依然怀着对教育学和法语的热情继续从事教学工作。 我在中国广东的中山大学中法学院教授法语长达5年 I have taught students at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners, in engineering schools, in professional settings, and in both private and group lessons. 我教授过从零基础到高级的各个层次的课程,教学场所涵盖工程学院、职场环境,以及一对一或小班授课。 I have extensive experience with online courses, which I taught during the COVID-19 pandemic in China and later at the Alliance Française in Manila, particularly the Hyflex model—a hybrid and flexible approach that integrates online and in-person learners into the same class. 我对在线课程非常熟悉,曾在疫情期间在中国和马尼拉的法国文化协会(Alliance française)进行在线授课,特别是“Hyflex”模式——这种混合式、灵活的教学模式,将线上和线下学习者整合在同一个班级中。 Enseigner est un plaisir, apprendre doit en être un aussi. Pour progresser, vous aurez besoin de bases claires et solides, nous les construirons. Mais le langage est un support d'échange, de communication, oral et écrit. Nous pratiquerons ces échanges. Enfin des étapes de validations vous seront peut-être nécessaires, des certifications, nous les préparerons. Les cours seront adaptés à vos objectifs personnels, professionnels ou de loisirs, à votre rythme d'apprentissage, à vos centres d'intérêts. Je vous accompagnerai sur ce chemin.

Certified and professional teacher since 1999. Worked in languages & Business schools, Universities. As a teacher, when a student speaks, I could summarize my approach as both friendly and firm listening. Friendly because I listen attentively, empathetically, and respectfully (I don't cut them off, I note errors or other appropriate wording in the chat). At the same time, I analyze all the mistakes I hear, whatever their nature, in order to ask for clarifications, correct them, and then propose an alternative. For students who want to improve their writing skills, I aim to bring out the unique writing style of each student by focusing on vocabulary, syntax, verb tense and mood, sentence structure, and grammar while providing timely input on approach and articulation.

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.

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.

I completed a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics and have taught French at all levels in a variety of contexts. These experiences have helped me become flexible and attentive to each student’s needs. My teaching approach focuses on communication, with grammar as a foundation to help you express yourself with ease. Because of my background in Linguistics, I prefer to teach authentic, modern French as it is spoken by francophones, rather than the textbook version that often feels outdated. My classes usually include (except conversation classes): ✔️ Grammar lesson (new or review) ✔️ Practice through communication (conversation, roleplay, simulations) ✔️ Feedbacks (correcting your mistakes)

    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!! 😊

  • 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!

    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.

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
