Experienced and passionate teacher |Gain confidence in speaking french and build up your vocab I’m kind and curious, and love connecting with people from all over the world. My journey as a language learner has given me firsthand experience with the challenges and joys of mastering a new language. Before teaching French, I worked a decade in hospitality, mainly in concierge and guest services in France, England, Argentina, and Australia. These experiences have helped me to guide my students not just in the lovely language journey, but in cultural understanding and real-life communication. I trained at Alliance Française so you can trust in my teaching foundation. I speak several languages myself (Spanish, English, Portuguese, a bit of Serbian and a bit of German), which has helped me to relate to learners from many backgrounds. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, swimming, and playing tennis. If you’re looking to learn French for travel, work, or simply to communicate better and more naturally, I’m here to provide you my assistance so that you can reach your goals and unlock your full potential.

Trilingual Professionnal French teacher FR, EN, KR I am passionate about learning foreign languages, I think it helps you understand different cultures and open you to the world. That's why I myself started to teach French almost 4 years ago to elementary and middle school Korean students as well as adults. It is a wonderful experience and I wish to help more students reach their goals. Thus, I am able to teach in French using English and Korean during the class and adapt to each students' learning speed. 외국어를 배우면서 새로운 세계를 만날 수 있다고 생각합니다. 아주 다른 문화를 알게 되고 새 친구도 사귈 수 있습니다. 전체적으로 마음이 열립니다. :) 저는 불어를 가르친지 4년 되어고 아주 흥미로운 일이고 제가 학생들에게 불어 공부하기 위해서 더욱 도와주고 응원하고 싶습니다.

7 years teaching experience (On vacation until 13 September 2026 ) Wait me back !! 😄 Hello everyone, My name is Mu Yun. My native language is Chinese. I come from Ningbo, an important port city in China. This is a beautiful city with a very long history. I have studied in France and have exchanged one year in Ireland. So I speak French and English. I know the difficulties of learning languages. The most important thing to learn a new language is the language environment. I like photography, traveling, playing badminton, etc. I have traveled to 20 countries and I like food very much. I hope to share it with you. I have taught elementary school students and junior high school students to learn Chinese, mathematics, and English for two years, I know how to make it easier for you to understand Chinese. I have taught many students to learn Chinese. I believe that I can help you to improve your language ability. For beginners, I will use English or French to help learn the basics of Chinese. We will start with 4 tones, pinyin, and some basic vocabulary and sentences. For intermediate and advanced, my teaching method is mainly conversational immersion, everything will be in Chinese. For students preparing for the exam HSK, we need to focus on practice based on the exam questions. I have a flexible schedule, so students can choose the most convenient time.

STOP scrolling, let's talk ! I'm from Serbia, but I live in France. I went to bilingual (french/serbian) High school in Belgrade. Afterwards, I got my Master's Degree in Law at university of Reims in France. After years of working in the legal field, I decided to change my career path, so I’m currently back at university studying translation from BCMS languages into French and vice versa. Foreign languages have always been my passion, and I love sharing that passion with others. That’s how I got into teaching languages! I always start by brief conversation with my students so I can understand their needs and expectations. Every student is different and the most important thing is to adjust my lessons to everyone. At first, you will tell me what do you wish to work on, either conversational or grammar skills, then I will prepare your lessons accordingly. At the end, you will tell me if that's what you were expecting and what would you like to work on next time.

My name is Claire, I'm 30 years old. I am a native French speaker, graduated with a Master's degree in teaching French as a foreign language. I love learning languages so I know how hard it is. Beside that, I like traveling, watching anime, reading, drawing... I am sure we'll have something in common to talk about :) My students say they feel comfortable speaking, making mistakes and looking for words with me. I'll give you the space you need to overcome the intimidating task it is to express yourself in a foreign language. The content of the lesson can be very flexible depending on your needs : having a conversation, studying specific grammar/vocabulary, reading the news, discovering French culture, preparing an exam. Regardless of the content, the role of the student is active in their learning. For children : I provide lessons for children from 6 years old. I use various materials to make the learning experience as fun and interactive as possible. First time learners will have a slow and progressive introduction to French, mainly by exposing them to the language through songs, books, games and videos. Kids lessons are not as formal as for adults to make the learning process closer to native speakers.

✨ Feel free to speak french : "c'est en se trompant qu'on apprend!" 😉 Je sais combien il peut être difficile d'apprendre une langue étrangère, car j'ai dû passer par là pour communiquer dans mes voyages passés. C'est pourquoi j'ai eu envie à mon tour d'enseigner le français, ma langue maternelle, que j'affectionne beaucoup, comme j'aurais aimé que l'on m'enseigne une langue étrangère dans le passé. Le contenu de mes cours dépend des besoins de mes élèves. Il est important qu'ils se sentent libres de parler avec moi et de faire des erreurs. Je les encourage et les aide à se sentir à l'aise pour atteindre leurs objectifs. Attention : comme certains cours peuvent se suivre, il peut y avoir un petit décalage de 2 à 5minutes qui seront évidemment rattrapées.

    Manon is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are always interesting, enjoyable, and well-prepared. We've been studying together for over six months, and I can really see how much I've improved. I started with almost no French, and now I can actually have conversations, which feels amazing :) We spend a lot of time speaking during our lessons, and Manon always brings interesting topics, texts, and activities to discuss. She creates a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where it's easy to practice and learn without feeling nervous about making mistakes. I always look forward to our lessons and would happily recommend Manon to anyone who wants to learn French!

    I've had the pleasure of learning French with Maïli for a few lessons now and cannot recommend her enough. Somehow, she strikes just the right balance between letting me ramble on in French and jumping in to correct common mistakes and words that she notices I struggle with. Her style of teaching is great for both building confidence and learning the particularities of the language simultaneously, and I've certainly noticed my French really improve since we started lessons. On top of that she's always friendly and enthusiastic to teach, and always has a nice idiom for any occasion --- very effective for making one's French a little more natural!

    Romain is a phenomenal teacher! He’s kind, engaging, and an exceptional conversationalist. I love the balance between structure and flexibility in his lessons. The materials cover diverse topics while leaving room for spontaneous conversations. As someone who asks tons of questions, I appreciate how clearly and patiently he explains things! Since I speak Portuguese and English, connecting French to Portuguese makes a huge difference. Concepts I was trying to learn for months, Romain explained them in less than four minutes! Beyond French, his extensive knowledge makes conversations profoundly enriching. I feel like I’m learning about life, culture, and different perspectives, not just a language. I also appreciate his approach to corrections: he gives room to find your own words and build confidence. After just a couple of lessons, I feel like I’ve progressed beyond what I could’ve imagined! I leave every lesson feeling fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t recommend him enough!! 😊

    Josie is amazing! I really wanted to improve my conversational skills, and I chose her because she seemed dynamic and fun in her video. I’m now more than 20 lessons in and I can definitely confirm that she is not only engaging and easy to talk to, but also incredibly diligent, energetic, smart, thoughtful and hilarious. I expected that we would simply chat in French for an hour each week, and we definitely do that, which has improved my speaking ability immensely. But Josie also goes out of her way to make her lessons as comprehensive and personalized as possible. I moved to France a year and a half ago, and she has been very thoughtful about structuring lessons that will help me to navigate daily life in France and give me exposure to important cultural references. She also tries to make my French less formal and textbook, and more colloquial and natural, which I appreciate immensely. In short, she’s pretty much the idea French teacher!

    I came to Lenaïg with the goal of progressing my French skills from near zero to B1. After 4 sessions I am feeling incredibly confident that I will be able to reach my goal with her help, if I am willing to dedicate the time and effort. I have an anxiety streak, especially around learning new things with an audience but her approach has made this very easy for me. Our sessions feel less like a formal instructor and more like a conversation with a friend. Lenaïg's English is incredibly clear. If you are considering her as an instructor and are coming from a native English background, don't hesitate to book a lesson.

    During the lessons, I discussed a lot of TCF speaking topics with Rim, for example, environmental issues and health topics. I learned how to organize my speech and how to speak more fluently in French. Also, Rim encouraged me to think of different angles for each topic. She definitely helped me a lot in preparing for the exam.

    I achieved 13 in both speaking and writing with his guidance for TCF Canada. I’m now preparing for DELF B2 and am still learning with him! I highly recommend Sekimi! I’ve taken more than 40 lessons with him, and he helped me go from struggling to express myself to being able to communicate much more freely in French. He is very patient and knows the TCF exam requirements extremely well. Highly recommended! 😊

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.

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.

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.
Intermediate French fluency (B1–B2) may take 6–12 months while advanced fluency (C1–C2) may take 1–2 years.

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.
