10 years' experience and graduated French teacher - conversation & exam - all levels & all learners Bonjour! Je m'appelle Margot et j'enseigne le français depuis plus de 10 ans. J'ai hâte de vous aider dans votre apprentissage ! Hello and welcome! My name is Margot, a French tutor with over 10 years of experience teaching French to children, teenagers, and adults — online and in person, in France, England, and Spain. I hold a degree in English (LLCE, specialization teaching French as a foreign language) and a degree in Education Science.

I also teach individuals and families, adapting to each learner's profile and goals. MY LESSONS are for you if you want to: * Build confidence in speaking * Improve your grammar and vocabulary * Prepare for an exam (DELF, school exams like GCSE, A-Level, Bachillerato…) * Learn French for daily life, studies, or relocation MY APPROACH: No textbooks — I design tailored, engaging lessons using authentic materials: articles, videos, songs, games, and interactive exercises — to spark discussion and bring the language to life through French culture: music, cinema, literature, and current events. My lessons are personalized, practical and structured. Patient, encouraging, and attentive, I adapt every lesson to your pace, goals, needs and interests. Looking for an experienced French tutor? I'd love to support you on your learning journey! A très bientôt j'espère!

Passionnée par les humains, je veux vous aider à vous immerger dans la langue et la culture ✨ J’aide les immigrants et les passionnés du Québec à mieux comprendre notre belle culture grâce à l’immersion, aux expressions courantes, aux chansons, aux poèmes, etc. Je m’adapte à vos besoins et à votre style d’apprentissage après une première rencontre exploratoire. Je m'appelle Rebeca. Je suis née à Montréal, au Québec (Canada), et mes parents sont Vénézuéliens. Mes langues maternelles sont donc l'espagnol et le français. Ayant fait toute ma scolarité en français au Québec, c'est ma langue la plus forte et j'ai une bonne maîtrise de sa grammaire. Je me lie d'amitié avec plusieurs nouveaux arrivants et je remarque que, bien au-delà de l'apprentissage du français, la plus grande difficulté est souvent de se familiariser avec la façon dont les Québécois et les Montréalais parlent : comprendre les expressions, les blagues et la culture à travers les films, les livres et les conversations du quotidien. Dans nos séances, nous explorerons des mots et expressions québécoises. Je vous recommanderai des chansons, des émissions ou d'autres contenus à découvrir et, si vous le souhaitez, nous pourrons les analyser ensemble afin d'approfondir votre compréhension. Au plaisir !

Have fun learning French and being (un)seriously happy! Hé coucou ! Enchantée, moi, c'est Kristen, j'ai 24 ans et je vis actuellement à Kobe, au Japon. Je suis une grande fan de tout ce qui touche au Japon : nourriture, films Ghibli... J'adore la vie à Kobe, c'est une ville avec une ambiance très relaxante et douce. J'apprends aussi bien sûr le japonais. Alors si toi aussi, tu aimes le Japon ou apprends le japonais, je suis sure qu'on pourra très bien s'entendre. J'aimerais rencontrer sur italki des personnes curieuses et qui ont envie d'apprendre. Plus tu feras d'erreurs à l'oral, plus je serai heureuse de pouvoir t'aider à les corriger au fur et à mesure des leçons. ^^ Je suis quelqu'un de tranquille, j'aime discuter et écouter les histoires de chacun. Je veux créer un espace chaleureux où chacun se sente bien et en sécurité pour pouvoir parler français sans être complexé ! Pendant une leçon avec moi, j'ai envie que chacun puisse se détendre et parler de ce qu'il aime ou a envie de partager. Si tu emmènes ta tasse de café, de thé (ou de camomille pour ceux qui prennent des leçons le soir), c'est encore mieux ! Je veux proposer du sur-mesure pour chacun : si besoin d'une explication à un endroit plus précis, je peux rechercher plus précisément pour mieux expliquer la prochaine fois, par exemple. Ou si tu as des envies particulières, partage-les ! ^_^ Alors, si ce genre de leçon te parle et te donne envie, viens donc discuter avec moi en message ou pendant une leçon ! J'ai hâte de te rencontrer 😊 À bientôt peut-être !

Unlock your language difficulties and make a step forward in fulfilling your dreams. Hello! I’m Yacine, your friendly Algerian language coach, passionate about unlocking the beauty of Arabic, French, and the Algerian dialect through engaging conversations and cultural stories. As a native speaker, I guide learners in MSA, Algerian dialect, and French, tailoring lessons to your needs. With over 10 years of teaching experience— 6+ years on italki—I’ve helped students of all levels build fluency and confidence. My background as a Hafiz and Quran teacher lets me offer expert guidance in Quranic recitation, Tajweed, and Islamic studies. As a computer engineer, I bring clear, logical structure to every lesson, making learning effective and joyful. Whether you want to explore Algerian culture, master Arabic or French, or deepen your Quranic studies, I’m here to support you. I believe everyone learns differently, so I adapt my methods to each person depending on his needs. I especially like the conversational approach because it naturally pulls people into the language. Daily practice is key, so let's just pick a topic and start talking. 1-For beginners: I tend to teach how to express yourself in the language you want to speak through daily situations, I focus a lot on prononciation. 2-For middle and advanced learners: I tend to focus on communication and in enhancing your vocabulary and listening,in order to be more confident in yourself and more comfortable with the language you want to learn. Let’s make your language journey meaningful and rewarding!

    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.

  • 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.
