I speak three different languages and through travels and work I have been exposed to many different cultures. I believe this gives me a good understanding of the difficulties new learners may have to understand the tricks of the French language, I will be helping you mastering them all.

😃 4000+ lessons given 🥐 Learn real French in conversation 🇫🇷 My methodology would depend on each of my students, as not everyone will learn the same way. Oral/conversational practice is essential and the ultimate goal of each lesson; I will provide you with a safe environment where you can enjoy practising your skills and where I will coach you into perfecting your pronunciation, conversation flow, and understanding of the oral language. I also consider grammar and reading to be essential for an optimal understanding of any language, as well as for broadening your vocabulary, improving your pronunciation and for syntax assimilation, and I will share resources (books, films, articles, lyrics, videos...) with you, that are adapted to your level.

French & English Conversation Coach | Fluency & Confidence Bonjour, Hello and welcome! My name is Chiraz, and I offer conversational French and English lessons focused on fluency, confidence, and natural communication. I am a native French speaker and a naturalised British citizen. I have lived and worked in France, Tunisia, the UK, and now Greece, and I speak French, English, Arabic, and I am currently learning Greek. This international background helps me understand the real challenges of learning and using a language in everyday life. I have a professional background in events, operations, and project coordination in international environments, where communication with clients, teams, and stakeholders was a key part of my work. I also trained in acting at Cours Florent in Paris and LAMDA in London, which strengthened my work on voice, pronunciation, and confident spoken communication. My lessons are relaxed and conversation-based. We can focus on speaking practice, pronunciation, professional communication, or simply building fluency through natural conversation. I aim to create a supportive space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and improve naturally over time.

French Teacher who can speak English and Korean. Learning from and exchanging with others is my biggest interest in life and I believe that teaching is one of the best ways to do it. As a teacher, my main approach is to adapt to the needs/ wants of the student regarding his/her level but also his/her interests. To me, the most effective way to learn a language is by learning it through our passions , whether it is music, art, culture, etc. But I also think that it is important to learn about the culture surrounding the language we're learning.

    Really happy with my lessons with Amma so far! Still prepping for the TCF, but every lesson is focused and practical — lots of exam-style practice, clear explanations, and genuinely helpful feedback. What I appreciate most is how patient and clear she is, stuff I used to struggle with actually makes sense now. Already feel a lot more confident in my French. Highly recommend if you're working toward the TCF specifically!

    I have been taking lessons with Manu for about 2 months now, and he's the best. I really appreciate the attention he puts into crafting a course to tailor my needs, and he's excellent at finding areas you can improve at and working on them together. The course I take with him is a great mix of conversation and discussion, while also taking time to cover grammatical points or pronunciation when needed. In the two months we've been working together I feel like my conversational abilities have seen a real improvement, and I'm looking forward to continuing taking lessons with him.

    Je me prépare au TEF Canada avec Youcef depuis un mois et je constate des progrès évidents dans mon expression orale. Il m'a énormément aidé dans mon parcours, en me fournissant toujours des supports pertinents et des retours honnêtes. Il prend vraiment le temps de m'écouter avant de répondre et ne m'interrompt pas lorsque j'expose mes arguments, car il comprend combien il est difficile de s'exprimer dans une langue qui n'est pas sa langue maternelle. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne se préparant au TEF Canada. Merci beaucoup Youcef.

    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!

  • Sylvie C

    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!

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
