🇫🇷 Learn French with a native teacher that adapts to your needs and goals! Hello, my name is Thomas and I am a native French teacher 👋 I am currently teaching French in a reputable institution in Australia and online. I'll help you achieve your objectives no matter what they are: watch movies, travel, interest in French culture, partner,... I especially like including cultural elements to my lessons. During my 3 years working with asylum seekers I had the opportunity to teach the basics of FLE (French for foreign learners). Today I am becoming professional in that field. Together we can work based on textbooks as well as my own materials. Each lesson is part of a more global and continuous teaching with an emphasis on the conversational aspect. No bad questions, no shame. We are here to learn in a relaxed and fun way that is adapted to your expectations. During the first lessons we can focus on your goals and your desires regarding French. We can establish guidelines that will guide your learning. If that sounds good to you then I suggest you book a trial lesson! See you then 😊

Speak real French 🥐 Clear grammar & Natural conversations 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 Bonjour! I'm Anaïs, a native French teacher from Paris, currently living in Indonesia with my dog Luna. 🌺🐶 For over 5 years, I've helped more than 500 students from around the world improve their French through more than 3,000 online lessons. Having learned English, Japanese and Spanish myself, I know that every learner is different. Some need structure, others learn best through conversation.

Whether you're learning French for travel, work, studies, moving abroad or simply because you love the language, I'll help you build confidence and actually enjoy the process. My lessons combine clear grammar explanations with plenty of speaking practice, because understanding a language is important, but using it is what makes you fluent. I'll guide you with personalised feedback, practical advice and a structured follow up so you can see your progress over time. I'm naturally curious and genuinely enjoy meeting people from different cultures. My lessons are relaxed, encouraging and built around conversations that matter to you. If you're looking for an experienced teacher who will challenge you, support you and adapt to your needs, I'd love to help you reach your goals. À bientôt! 🤍

🎓TEF, TCF, DELF, immigration, naturalisation (Canada, France) | 500+ students coached since 2016 Bonjour, hello, hola, buongiorno, привіт, नमस्ते , Guten Tag, 你好, привет! I help adults prepare for the TEF-TCF for Canadian and French immigration. Sound familiar? You've tried apps or conversation / group classes and hit a wall. Or maybe you already took a TEF-TCF test once and didn't score enough points. Either way, you've come to the right place! 🎓I am a certified French teacher that speaks 5+ languages, but I've also been in your shoes. I learned most of my languages on my own, from scratch, as an adult. I know what it's like learning fast, under pressure, in a new environment, with a real goal on the line - and my method reflects that. How I work: Focused, efficient approach I've built specifically for TEF-TCF, not general French (level test, live lessons, self-study prep roadmap, 5-day sprint - with real feedback). Pick the format that fits best. Most of my students start at A1 and reach B2 in 6-8 months, while working full-time or raising a family. 💡Sounding fluent or 'native' is about the right approach. I'll teach you strategic French so you can use it to your advantage, stop translating word by word, and gain clarity in speaking, listening and grammar - and ace your exams. ⚠️Confidentiality: I respect your privacy, lessons are never recorded. ⚠️I only take a limited number of students each week, to keep feedback personal. Book a class, a level test or a prep roadmap - and let's achieve your goal together! A bientôt in the classroom, Teacher Lola

Professeur certifiée en FLE avec dix ans d'expérience J’ai obtenu un master 2 en FLE (Français langue étrangère) à l’université de la Sorbonne en 2019 et je n’ai cessé d’enseigner depuis. Mon mémoire portait sur l’aspect biographique d’une langue ; en cela, au-delà de l’aspect communicatif d’une langue, je suis convaincue de l’importance de celle-ci dans la construction de notre identité. J’ai enseigné dans des contextes variés : associations, collèges et lycées, académies de langue, alliance française, centres civiques, cours particuliers. Ceux-ci m’ont amenée à me renouveler dans mes méthodes d’enseignement, chaque fois en fonction des besoins des apprenants, enfants comme adultes.

Professeur FLE avec 10 ans d'expérience réputé pour son empathie et sa patience. Bonjour Mon nom est Guillaume (William). J'ai fait des études de philosophie et de lettres modernes. Je vis actuellement en Thaïlande. Je suis passionné par les langues vivantes et j'en parle plusieurs : anglais, allemand, espagnol et thaï. J'apprends également le grec ancien. J'ai repris des études récemment ,afin de me spécialiser en Français Langue Etrangère (FLE). Il n'y a pas vraiment de demande içi en Thaïlande, mais les possibilités offertes par Internet et les réseaux modernes permettent aujourd'hui de diffuser la langue et la culture française dans le monde entier. Ma diction est lente et claire, ce qui me permet d'etre compris par mes interlocuteurs étrangers. Je maitrise la grammaire et la syntaxe. Je lis beaucoup, en français et en anglais. Je propose trois types de leçons : 1) Cours de conversation. En général je pose des questions sur des sujets généraux, propres à l'échange d'idées. Le but pour l'étudiant est de mettre des mots sur ses sentiments et émotions. L'étudiant peut également sélectionner un thème qui l'intéresse. Je joue un peu le rôle de life coach.. J'utilise souvent des documents pédagogiques : textes, courtes vidéos , images etc. 2) Français pour débutants complets ou faux-débutants. Méthode éprouvée pour vous lancer en français, à partir de documents PDF et autres sources. 3) Préparation pour entretiens d'embauche ,examens, devoirs et traductions.

Teaching adults to speak naturally - the polyglot way ✈️☀️ Hello, cześć, bonjour, مرحبا, selamat pagi, გამარჯობა , ahoj👋! Want to finally speak comfortably and naturally? I’ve been teaching since 2016 and help adultmlearners become confident, not just correct. I am a solo traveller, currently living in beautiful city of Poznań, and a huge language enthusiast. I am here to help you reach your language goals :) My lessons are structured but relaxed, fully tailored to you & in your comfort zone. We focus on real communication: speaking, useful vocabulary & slang, and clear explanations. I create custom materials and give you optional practice after class. You can choose between structured classes and conversational ones. I am also open to your suggestions & requests- don't be shy if there's something specific you'd like to learn. As a fellow language learner (Spanish, Georgian, Indonesian, Slovak, Korean, Turkish, Persian, Russian and more...) and Italki student, I understand your struggles - and know how to fix them efficiently. When I am not on Italki, I train aerial silks, write letters, cook delicious plant-based food or play with my (numerous) pets. :) Please note I teach adults only at this time. Everyone is welcome as this is a safe space where you can be yourself. If you don't find a suitable slot- text me :) I might be able to open one for you. I am really looking forward to see you in my classes ! :)

    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.

    I look forward to lessons with Virginie each week. We have fun and real conversations, and I can’t believe I’m able to converse so well and am able to express myself in another language. Virginie has been pivotal to my improvement as she takes notes during our conversations, so that I know where I need to improve. I feel relaxed and encouraged in my lessons with Virginie. Virginie is a fabulous teacher that I highly recommend!

    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!

    I have been taking lessons with Soulaimane for several months now, and I can clearly see the progress I have made. He has helped me improve my language skills, become more confident, and especially speak more naturally and fluently. His lessons are always enjoyable, well-structured, and adapted to my needs. He creates a comfortable environment where I can speak freely, practice, and learn from my mistakes. I highly recommend Soulaimane to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills and gain confidence in the language. Thank you, Soulaimane, for your patience, support, and dedication.

    Learning French

    Johanna was really great, and I'm very excited to be on this journey with her. She really made me feel at ease, which is impressive because I'm naturally quite shy and also a perfectionist -- which makes speaking in a foreign language very difficult. My level is very mixed because my learning path hasn't been straightforward, and I've used many different methods; but Johanna was able to identify a plan that I believe will work well. I feel very confident that I'll be able to improve my speaking while also shoring up basic grammar structures. She exuded calm and is clearly very organised and experienced.

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.

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.
