Let's start your learning adventure with a certified👨🏽‍🎓 and native teacher more than 10 years!!! Learning a language is much like learning a musical instrument—such as the guitar. Without regular practice, progress is limited. The same applies to language learning: theory alone isn't enough. To truly improve, active practice is essential from the very beginning—and it can be an enjoyable process! I recommend combining both conversation and grammar lessons for the most effective results. Before booking a general or exam-focused lesson, please schedule a trial session. This allows me to assess your level and learning goals, so I can tailor the lessons to best support your progress.

Certified TEFL teacher with over ten years' experience I've taught English for over ten years. It's my first language and the subject of my degree. I haven't forgotten what it's like to be a beginner, though. When I moved to France at 13, I didn't speak a word of French. At first, every conversation took so much concentration that I'd come home exhausted. Then it started to click. Ce moment-là, je le connais bien. By the time I left la Nouvelle-Aquitaine thirteen years later, I was living my whole life in French. That's why I don't correct every small mistake. Worrying about getting it wrong is what stops people speaking. Les erreurs font partie de l'apprentissage. Communication comes first, accuracy follows. I'm a certified TEFL and TYLEC teacher, and I currently teach ESOL alongside my online lessons. I teach both languages to all ages, from young children to working adults. My French is near-native, so we can stay in one language or switch between the two, whichever helps you most. On passe d'une langue à l'autre quand ça aide. Specialities: IELTS, TOEIC, Cambridge A1 to C1, Business English, GCSE and A-Level, DELF, DALF, professional French. Levels A1 to C1. 3,800+ lessons taught on italki, plus many more in classrooms in France and the UK. A quick note on scheduling: lessons can be rescheduled with more than 24 hours' notice. Just message me and we'll find a time that works. Once we're inside the 24-hour window, italki's system doesn't allow lessons to be changed or cancelled, and the lesson is charged in full.

Dedicated native and professional French teacher - Be ready to speak French! Hello, Bonjour! Привет! My name is Jasmine, I live in Montpellier, a medieval city on the Mediterranean shores. Native to France, I’ve lived in 4 countries and traveled to 20—giving me firsthand insight into mastering languages through immersion. Besides French, I am fluent in English and Russian. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me at the movies, reading books or sewing. I graduated with a Masters degree in Translation and I hold a university degree in Teaching French as a foreign language. I have learned languages the traditional way at university also by immersion practicing with natives, which was what worked best for me. I would be happy to try whatever method you think may suits you best to progress and I will guide you through the lessons. Everybody is different and has different goals when it comes to learn a language, so there are many ways to teach. We will focus on conversation, do exercises, read, write short texts, you name it! No matter the skills you want to work on and why you want to learn French, I will adapt to your needs. My goal is to help you make progress and gain confidence to speak 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.

  • 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.
  • 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
  • 💬 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.

How much does a French tutor cost?

French tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private French tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a French teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online French lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is 3 months enough to learn French?

Yes. With intensive French classes and a dedicated French tutor, you can reach a basic conversational level (A2-B1). At this stage, you can hold simple conversations, introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, and manage everyday travel situations.
