Mais quand tu en as besoin, je peux aussi t’enseigner les règles grammaticales et te donner des explications techniques.

French Teacher who can speak English and Korean. Learning from and exchanging with others is my biggest interest in life and I believe that teaching is one of the best ways to do it. As a teacher, my main approach is to adapt to the needs/ wants of the student regarding his/her level but also his/her interests. To me, the most effective way to learn a language is by learning it through our passions , whether it is music, art, culture, etc. But I also think that it is important to learn about the culture surrounding the language we're learning.

Certified teacher with experience Hey ! I'm a French teacher and film-making educator living in Melbourne. I worked for the Alliances Françaises of Dublin, Cambridge and Porto. I'm more interested in alternative education than in methodologicals books. Learning and having fun at the same time should be the common method. I administered the DELF exam a few times with a great success rate. Every lesson is based on the personality of the student. If you need to work on a grammatical point, we will work on that. If it's more about conversation, we will talk. However, the main thing is to be faced with the true way of speaking as fast as possible. Moreover, I'd like to share with you the French culture through the cultural landscape with which I'm familiar.

Преподаватель французского и английского с красным дипломом и 10 летним стажем Если вы приходите в зал с запросом накачать пресс, а ваш тренер просит вас приседать - с таким человеком результата не будет, потому что он не понимает, что нужно делать и для чего. Примерно такая ситуация происходит в большинстве случаев с репетиторами. Поэтому я, как преподаватель, точно прописываю план каждого урока и конечную цель, чтобы изучение не превращалось в десятилетия чтения текстов BBC и просмотров роликов с YouTube. Средний срок постановки произношения - месяц. Средний срок чистки грамматики - месяц. Английский/Французский с нуля до В2 при регулярных занятиях по часу 2-3 раза в неделю и выполнении д/з - год.

    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.

    Caroline is an amazing teacher! Her guidance and teaching methods helped me improve drastically while preparing for my TEF exam. She was extremely supportive, patient, and focused on the areas where I needed the most improvement. 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!

    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!

    Ludo is a fantastic teacher. He knows exactly how to identify his students’ weaknesses and help them improve. I took lessons with him for a month and a half, and during that time, my speaking level improved from CLB 6 to CLB 8. I had taken the TEF Canada exam twice before and cleared all the modules except speaking. This time, thanks to his guidance and effective teaching methods, I was finally able to achieve CLB 8 in speaking. I highly recommend taking classes with Ludo, especially if you are preparing for the TEF Canada. He is an excellent teacher and truly a TEF expert! Merci à vous Ludovic.

  • Zheng Gong

    Learning French

    ★★★★★ I highly recommend this teacher. He speaks fluent English, which makes communication much easier whenever I have questions about French. His lessons are systematic and focus on building a strong foundation. I’m preparing for the TCF, and I previously tried a test-focused approach that relied heavily on memorizing scripts and doing practice questions. It didn’t help me strengthen my grammar and overall foundation. His approach feels much more structured and reliable. He also provides professional, well-organized learning materials and corrects many of my mistakes during lessons. My goal is not only to pass the TCF, but also to build a solid foundation so that I can use French confidently in the future. I feel his teaching is very well suited to that goal.

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.
