Bring your French to another level ! Bonjour ! My name is Romina, I was born in Paris, France but I lived almost all my life in a very beautiful city called La Rochelle. I also lived in London for two and a half years and I continue to practice my English as much as I can, so I understand many problems that usually appear when learning a language. Now, I am living in Mexico and love to travel all around the world :) I am very patient and caring. I want my students to feel comfortable with me while talking. And I believe this is the most important thing while learning a language. If you have any questions or suggestions about the classes, feel free to ask me and I would be happy to help you :) Each student is different, so first, I try to understand the student's needs before and then I can come up with a lesson that will fit you, depending on your level and your goals. Generally, my classes will focus on conversational French so you can become more fluent in the language. I can teach you expressions, formal or informal French and new vocabulary. Together, we can work with texts, videos and articles about any topic! I am very open-minded :) I want you to feel happy and comfortable during my class. Of course, we can also focus on grammar, pronunciation, reading and writing. I can also give you homework assignments if you desire. I teach children from 6 years old À bientôt !

Lessons can focus on conversation to improve fluency and confidence, or be more oriented towards grammar, structure, and language accuracy. I use a grammar book and documents that I share with students. Each student has a Google Drive document in which corrections, vocabulary, and personalized advice are recorded for each lesson. I place great importance on exchange, understanding, and real progress. I adapt to the student's pace while remaining demanding, so that each lesson is both enjoyable and effective.

Each lesson is built around your interests and needs. We work on whatever's holding you back, at your own pace, around topics you're interested in, using texts, videos, audio, and more. We don't just speak French: we discover things, we learn in French and I give feedback along the way. 🌟 Film Club and 🌟 Book Club We choose a book or film together that we both enjoy. I adapt to your level and needs while pushing you to go further. It's demanding, but extremely effective. The progress is real and lasting, and you leave with course notes and worksheets to keep. 🧩 Structured Path (exam prep or new learners) Ideal for DELF, TCF, or FIDE prep, or for new learners.

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.

I'm new to tutoring on Italki. However, I have plenty of experience as a language learner, and I'd love to share these experiences with you. I've learnt different languages in very different ways: English through fanfictions; German at school (not effective at all); Japanese by myself and online; Norwegian both on my own and while living in the country. I know how challenging it can feel to speak a new language. Searching for the right words, going blank, struggling to understand when someone speaks with a strong accent: I know what it feels like! But making mistakes and hesitating is all part of the process. Feel free to book a lesson: no pressure, no judgment - just a supportive space :)

    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.

  • Gabriel

    Learning French

    Well, that's my last review here. I got NCLC7 Expression Orale and NCLC9 EE in my FIRST TEF. This is definitely due to following Youcef's lessons with discipline. If I could give anyone a single advice onto how to get this score, it would be: do not go any farther over Italki searching for a teacher. Start your lessons with Youcef today and stick to the plan, trust the process. Have discipline and study with him. Studying with him is having a friend who really cares about your success and knows everything about the french exams; not only a teacher who corrects mistakes. As I scheduled this last lesson, I only had one objective, and I did it: I taught this phrase my wife and we said together : Merci beaucoup, Youcef !!!

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.

Can you learn French without a tutor?

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.
