Supportive teacher. Tailor-made lessons to improve self-confidence. Examinatrice DELF-DALF. Bonjour, soy Laure, profesora nativa de francés y examinadora oficial DELF-DALF con más de 10 años de experiencia en la enseñanza. Me apasiona compartir no solo el idioma, sino también la auténtica cultura y gastronomía francesa, porque creo que aprender francés es mucho más que memorizar reglas gramaticales: es sumergirse en un mundo lleno de sabores, tradiciones y curiosidades. Mis clases están diseñadas para que te sientas cómodo y seguro al expresarte, incluso si cometes errores, ya que considero que equivocarse es parte fundamental del aprendizaje. Mis alumnos suelen destacar mi exigencia amable, mi paciencia y mi cercanía, cualidades que me permiten acompañar a cada estudiante en su propio ritmo y ayudarle a ganar confianza y fluidez. Además, cuento con la autorización oficial para ser examinadora-correctora de los exámenes DELF y DALF en todos los niveles, por lo que conozco a la perfección los criterios y expectativas de los examinadores. Si tu objetivo es aprobar el DELF/DALF o simplemente descubrir los secretos de la cultura francesa, ¡estás en el lugar adecuado! ¿Te animas a comprobar cómo puedo ayudarte a alcanzar tus metas en francés? Reserva una clase y vive la experiencia por ti mismo. ¡Te espero!

Profesor políglota | Professeur polyglotte – Español & Français Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Alec et je suis belgo-espagnol : ma mère est belge francophone et mon père est espagnol. Je suis né et j'ai grandi à Alicante, en Espagne, mais j'ai toujours parlé français à la maison. Aujourd'hui, je vis à Bruxelles, où j'utilise le français au quotidien. Être bilingue natif en français et en espagnol est ce qui me distingue le plus comme enseignant. Je connais parfaitement les difficultés que rencontrent les francophones lorsqu'ils apprennent l'espagnol, mais aussi celles des hispanophones qui apprennent le français. Je peux expliquer non seulement la langue, mais aussi les différences de prononciation, de grammaire et même de manière de penser entre les deux. ¡Hola! Soy medio español y medio belga, y crecí entre las dos culturas. Esto me permite comprender muy bien los retos a los que se enfrentan los estudiantes de ambos idiomas y explicar los conceptos de una forma clara, práctica y natural. Mis clases se adaptan completamente a tus objetivos, tu nivel y tu forma de aprender. Tanto si quieres mejorar la conversación, la gramática, la pronunciación o ganar confianza al hablar, adaptaré mi método de enseñanza a tus preferencias para que disfrutes del proceso y progreses a tu propio ritmo. And if you're an English speaker, don't worry! I also speak English at a C2 level, so I can comfortably teach you both French and Spanish. À bientôt, ¡hasta pronto y nos vemos en clase!

📚All Levels A1-C2|🗣️ Specialized in Phonetics|🥇Certified examiner for all Exams|Confidence 100% You've studied French for years and you still freeze when someone speaks to you. That's not a talent problem but a method problem, I fix that. I'm a phonetics specialist and a certified examiner for every official French exam. I work exclusively with adults, and I hear the same story daily: years of classes, notebooks full of conjugation tables, and still that blank moment when a French person opens their mouth. I know it from the inside as I've learned several languages myself. 📊 6600+ lessons · 90% pass rate · 70% of my students prepare an official exam. Adults only, I don't teach children or teenagers. 🙂 🗣️ We start with sound. French doesn't sound the way it looks: liaisons swallow words, syllables disappear, the rhythm falls at the end of the group. We work on the vowels that don't exist in your language (dessus/dessous, poisson/poison), on intonation and liaisons until people stop asking you to repeat. 🥇 Exam preparation: DELF · DALF · TCF · TCF Canada · TEF Canada. As an examiner, I know what the grids reward and where candidates lose points: diagnostic, format drills, point-saving strategies, mock exams corrected with the official grid and a realistic answer to "how many weeks do I need?" 💬 General French: no vocabulary lists, no grammar for its own sake. You speak from lesson one and build week by week — renting a flat, appointments, meetings, admin calls. Book a trial lesson: tell me your goal, and I'll tell you how to get there!

Progress doesn't sound perfect. It sounds like someone who kept going. ✨ Passionnée de langues et d'éducation, j'enseigne le français en ligne depuis plusieurs années avec une méthode qui m'est propre : flexible, structurée, basée sur la conversation réelle — et toujours bienveillante. Dans mes cours, les erreurs ne sont pas des échecs — elles sont des étapes. En plus d’enseigner, j’ai travaillé comme interprète, traductrice et consultante linguistique pour une entreprise nord-américaine. Mais ce qui me définit le mieux, c'est mon propre parcours avec les langues. Trois langues, trois chemins complètement différents. Le français, c'est ma langue maternelle. L'anglais, je l'ai appris en classe, mais surtout par curiosité. Je viens d'un milieu ouvrier où personne ne parlait d'autre langue que le français. Pourtant, à douze ans, je lisais et je regardais des films en anglais. Et puis, je suis partie en au pair à Édimbourg pour vivre vraiment la langue. L'espagnol, lui, a commencé par un rejet total. Je ne l'aimais pas jusqu'à ce que je parte au Mexique, où j'ai vécu 8 ans. C'est l'immersion dans la culture, la littérature et le quotidien qui a fait que j'aime profondément cette langue. Le goût d’apprendre les langues vient du contact humain. En pouvant communiquer avec les gens, mon monde s'agrandit. Un élève m'a un jour contactée après avoir scrapé la plateforme Italki pour trouver le professeur de français avec le taux de rétention le plus élevé. Mon profil est apparu. C'est la récompense dont je suis la plus fière. Alors, prêt·e à commencer ?

Mes tutorats seront pour chaque heure quelque chose de bénéfique pour toi, et il est assez rare, en parlant avec moi pendant une heure, d'avoir un moment de blanc ! J'ai déjà eu quelques entretiens avec des étrangers à l'université, qui souhaitaient apprendre le français. D'après les nouvelles que j'ai eu d'eux récemment, cela fut une réussite ! My tutorials will be for every hour something beneficial for you, whether they have had me before or not.

I have lived in Taiwan, Germany, Spain, Thailand and now Australia. I've been in your shoes so I know what builds real fluency and what wastes your time!

We talk, we laugh and you actually progress. → After class: you get a Google Doc updated after every session, with recommendations picked JUST for you. → Anytime: stuck on a weird phrase on Netflix? Fighting a grammar rule at 11pm? Send me a message. I mean it 😉 400+ lessons taught in 2026. No two alike. Past students: got an idea to make my lessons better? DM me. I'll happily offer you a 30-min session for $5 (the minimum italki allows).

    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.

    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 !!!

    Learning French

    She is the best for both the General French and the DELF preparation! As for the General French, over 4 years my learning experience has evolved thanks to her approach to tailor the lessons. I learn French for a professional objective, and my situation has changed: the language level, the responsibilities on the job, and the context of the work. Accordingly, she has constantly adapted materials and methods. That has developed my skill in an organic way. In terms of DELF preparation, she guided me step by step. At the beginning, DELF felt daunting. She began with basics but the guidance did not limit to them: from the grammar to the quality of arguments, from required vocabulary to nuances and precision, from pointing out recurring errors to identifying the areas to develop. By the day of the test, the fear had transformed to confidence. She walked me through the learning journey with a strong engagement and encouragement. That motivated me and consolidated my French. Thank you Jade!

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.

  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
