CERTIFIED TEACHER, in 6 languages, with over 35 years EXPERIENCE :) Languages have shaped my life from the very beginning—born to a French mother, a Portuguese father + a black and white TV, raised on a mix of European cultures, and inspired by a early life in Africa. My family’s dinner table was a symphony of accents, stories, and languages, with my Belgian grandmother’s wartime German and evenings spent watching classic films in their original versions. This rich, multicultural upbringing sparked my lifelong passion for languages and communication. Since then, I’ve explored Western Europe, immersing myself in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Danish, Portuguese (PT&PB) ... and so on... cultures, and collecting not just languages, but real-life stories and connections. My specialty? Helping you unlock your voice in multiple languages—sometimes even within the same lesson! If you’re ready to experience language learning as a living, breathing adventure, I invite you to book a trial class and share your goals with me. Let’s start your journey together!

Native French Teacher with Master Degree in Didactics and DELF Examiner I am a native French teacher. I have extensive experience in language learning myself, as I studied Dutch language at university and now have a B2 level in Dutch. I am currently learning Spanish because I have lately become particularly interested in Hispanic culture. In addition, I have lived in several foreign countries: first in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium), and right now in Romania. Learning foreign languages is therefore part of my daily life. I hold a Master’s degree in Language Didactics (with highest honors) and I am also a certified DELF examiner and marker (A1–B2). I have taught a wide range of learners: adults with migrant backgrounds in France, illiterate learners, adults of all ages abroad, teenagers aged 11 to 18, and university students. Besides my passion for teaching and language learning, I am also passionate about history and politics. I enjoy hiking and I love dogs. My teaching approach is based on the task-based approach, in accordance with the CEFR recommendations. Classes are conducted entirely in French in order to ensure maximum immersion (although I can provide support in Dutch or English if needed). I work with authentic documents and realistic situations. I like using French method books like Edito, Inspire, Adopshère, and digital tools I develop all language skills: speaking, listening comprehension and pronunciation (phonetics), writing, and reading comprehension.

CERTIFIED, VERY EXPERIENCED, AND QUITE FUN TEACHER ! My name is Ludmilla, I am from the north West of France. I am a very adventurous person. I specially like to meet random people in unsuspecting places. I am definitely an extrovert, and I am a curious person, especially when it comes to cultures and languages. In my free time, I meet friends, get lost in narrow streets, run, play volleyball, the activity that I enjoy most is mountain hikes. Finally... I am a funny person..at least I think I am ! I began my education studying a Spanish degree in France. I also obtained a post graduate diploma in Inclusive Education. I completed two training in teaching, obtaining the following: a TEFL certification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), and a MOOC certification (Teaching French as a Foreign Language). I taught Spanish, French, and English in public and private schools from A1 to C1 Level, to children and adults in different countries. I believe the communicative approach and the immersion method are the more efficient to learn a language. I will try to mostly use the target language during my lesson. Each lesson will have a clear objective, and will include different activities. At the beginning of each lesson the student will have time for repetition before moving on to the new subject. I will give possibilities to develop outside the lesson, giving homework, and exercises to practice alone. I will not only teach but as well coach the student to make sure there is consistency in the learning.

    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!! 😊

  • Grace

    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!

    Learning French

    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.

  • Wing lam Cheung

    Learning French

    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.

  • 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.

    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!

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?

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?
