Native French Speaker | Conversational Tutor | Beginner Friendly Hey! I'm Melvin, a native French speaker from a small town near Paris , France. I learned English while travelling; it's not perfect, but I'm understood. I offer conversational French sessions — no textbooks, no boring grammar drills. Just real, flowing conversation adapted entirely to you: your level, your goals, your interests. Whether you want to talk about sports, travel, food, culture, or just get comfortable ordering a coffee in Paris — I'll meet you where you are and help you sound more natural, more confident, and more French. I speak French natively, English fluently, and I'm currently learning Mandarin — so I understand firsthand what it feels like to learn a language from scratch. That experience makes me a more patient and empathetic conversation partner. My sessions work for: — Complete beginners who want a gentle, supportive start — Intermediate learners who want to gain fluency and lose hesitation — Advanced speakers who want to refine their accent or vocabulary — Anyone preparing for a trip to France or a French-speaking country What makes my sessions different: I adapt in real time. Ready to speak French like you mean it? Book a trial session and let's talk. 我是法语母语者,很高兴能帮你学法语!

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.

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.

Hi! I have always been a teacher since I am in middle school, teaching to my friends, to my neighbours... I became an engineer but kept teaching until I decided to become a full-time teacher. I went back to the university 3 years ago to get a master degree in teaching French as a foreign language and wrote a thesis about how music can help students in learning a language. I've been teaching in the Caribbean, Paris, South Korea and helped hundreds of students to get their DELF or DALF and go to study in France. So I am specialized in Exam Preparation. I am also helping professionals living in France to improve their business talk. Hope to see you soon!

Speak French confidently : conversation, grammar & French literature for curious learners Bonjour! I’m Cami, a native French tutor with a master’s degree in international relations and a deep passion for languages, history, and cultural exchange. Fluent in 3 languages, I help students gain confidence in French — whether through lively conversations, solid grammar practice, or real-world topics that spark your curiosity. My teaching style is interactive, structured, and adaptable: we’ll focus on what matters most to you. I hold a master’s degree in international relations, and during my bachelor’s studies in liberal arts, I explored French and English literature, linguistics, grammar, and the history of languages, as well as several ancient languages. Living abroad for several years allowed me to meet students and friends from many backgrounds — and helping them with French naturally became my passion. That’s what inspired me to join italki: to share the beauty of the French language with learners around the world. I’m friendly but meticulous: I’ll always correct your grammar and pronunciation, explain why, and help you build habits that make your French sound natural and confident. Each lesson is personalized, so you’ll make steady progress while enjoying the process. 💰Fair worldwide pricing - transparency note : for a $25 lesson, $5 goes to italki, and, as I proudly pay my taxes in France, $6 goes to social contributions & taxes. Thank you for supporting my work !

    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!

Les cours sont bien organisés et très professionnels, tout en se déroulant dans une atmosphère détendue et agréable. Je me suis notamment préparée avec lui pour le DALF C1, en particulier pour la production orale. Même si j’étais au début un peu stressée ou hésitante à l’idée de prendre la parole, je me suis toujours sentie à l’aise pendant les cours. Merci beaucoup à lui <3

    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!

  • Gabi

    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.

  • Sherry

    I achieved 13 in both speaking and writing with his guidance for TCF Canada. I’m now preparing for DELF B2 and am still learning with him! I highly recommend Sekimi! I’ve taken more than 40 lessons with him, and he helped me go from struggling to express myself to being able to communicate much more freely in French. He is very patient and knows the TCF exam requirements extremely well. Highly recommended! 😊

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
