Certified French teacher | For adults, teens, kids | General lessons, Exam preparation, Conversation In 2018 I started teaching French when I was a student of French Literature. I got my bachelor degree in 2020 and now I work for a French language center as a teacher. Normally I teach to adults and teenagers, but I have also experiences in teaching kids. At the beginning I used to to teach in person. I went to meet my students in university or in their house. Now since more than one year I give lessons online. I'm aware that retaining knowledge needs repetition. Thus with me you may record our lessons. I will also send some screenshots of what we have learnt before if necessary.

Friendly Arabic / French / English tutor for Beginners learn step by step I’m Soumeya, a dedicated tutor specializing in Arabic, French, and English for beginners. With a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry and a Master’s in Genetics, I bring a structured, analytical approach to language learning. My passion for teaching began in high school, where I helped younger family members improve their language skills, . As a lifelong language learner (currently exploring Russian and German), I deeply understand the challenges beginners face. My lessons blend clarity, creativity, and engaging methods including games and step-by-step techniques to build confidence. As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and a good listener. I truly believe that when a student understands something clearly, they become more motivated and enjoy learning more. My goal is to make learning Arabic , French , English simple, clear, and enjoyable. I create a safe and positive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Building confidence is very important to me, because confidence is the key to learning a new language successfully. In my lessons, we always start with strong basics and then progress step by step according to the student’s level. I use games, flashcards, stories, and real-life examples to help students remember better and stay focused. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s needs and goals, whether it’s conversation, vocabulary, or grammar. My goal is for students to improve at their own pace and enjoy the learning process.

Hey, I'm Clémentine, a native French and European Portuguese speaker. I grew up between French and Portuguese, later adopted English into my daily life, and I am now exploring Russian and Italian. Every language has changed the way I understand people, cultures, and even myself. Here's what I have learned: Every language carries its own way of seeing the world, and learning one can transform the way you see your own. That is why my lessons are not only about learning words or grammar. They are about discovering new perspectives, exchanging ideas, and building genuine human connections. In class, we can explore everyday life, travel, culture, history, traditions, personal experiences, and the questions that shape our lives. My goal is not only to help you become more confident, but also to encourage curiosity, openness, and a deeper understanding of other cultures. To help you keep track of your progress, our lessons are organised through shared notes in a single document. Together, we collect vocabulary, corrections, ideas, cultural references, and discussion topics in one place, allowing you to revisit them whenever you want.

    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.

    I completed a set of 10 lessons with Dianne. She's an outstanding teacher. She caught even small pronunciation mistakes that I made. She explains grammar rules very well. She sends me reading materials suitably challenging for me. Each week, she summarizes the key items of what we covered on a document, which she then shares with me. I'm looking forward to keep learning French from her!

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.

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.

  • 🗣️ 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.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online French tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine private French lessons with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

Is 3 months enough to learn French?

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.

Basic French conversation (A2) typically takes 3–6 months with 2–3 French lessons per week.

A private French tutor speeds up your progress by providing immediate feedback and consistent speaking practice. Learners who book 3–5 French classes online per week usually move through levels faster than those studying only once a week.
