Native French in Asia, Master, 10 years experience China & Asia DELF DALF TEF, 10年教学经验,母语者,专业教师,教育硕士 I am a professor with a Master’s degree in Education, a DAEFLE certification, and am a certified examiner for the DELF/DALF and the TEF Canada. 我拥有教育学硕士学位和DAEFLE证书,同时也是DELF/DALF及TEF Canada的授权考官。 Now that I'm retired, I continue to teach out of a passion for education and the French language. 虽然已经退休,但我依然怀着对教育学和法语的热情继续从事教学工作。 我在中国广东的中山大学中法学院教授法语长达5年 I have taught students at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners, in engineering schools, in professional settings, and in both private and group lessons. 我教授过从零基础到高级的各个层次的课程,教学场所涵盖工程学院、职场环境,以及一对一或小班授课。 I have extensive experience with online courses, which I taught during the COVID-19 pandemic in China and later at the Alliance Française in Manila, particularly the Hyflex model—a hybrid and flexible approach that integrates online and in-person learners into the same class. 我对在线课程非常熟悉,曾在疫情期间在中国和马尼拉的法国文化协会(Alliance française)进行在线授课,特别是“Hyflex”模式——这种混合式、灵活的教学模式,将线上和线下学习者整合在同一个班级中。 Enseigner est un plaisir, apprendre doit en être un aussi. Pour progresser, vous aurez besoin de bases claires et solides, nous les construirons. Mais le langage est un support d'échange, de communication, oral et écrit. Nous pratiquerons ces échanges. Enfin des étapes de validations vous seront peut-être nécessaires, des certifications, nous les préparerons. Les cours seront adaptés à vos objectifs personnels, professionnels ou de loisirs, à votre rythme d'apprentissage, à vos centres d'intérêts. Je vous accompagnerai sur ce chemin.

Professeur de français | +10 ans d'expérience | Cours adaptés à vos objectifs Bonjour, je m’appelle Sébastien et je viens de Suisse francophone. J’enseigne depuis plus de dix ans, principalement auprès d’adolescents, dans des contextes scolaires très variés. Dans mes cours, j’aime partir des besoins, des intérêts et des objectifs de chaque élève. Pour moi, apprendre une langue ne consiste pas seulement à mémoriser du vocabulaire ou des règles de grammaire : il faut avant tout comprendre, pratiquer et trouver progressivement la confiance nécessaire pour communiquer. J’accorde donc beaucoup de place à l’échange et à la conversation, tout en apportant les explications et la structure nécessaires lorsque nous rencontrons une difficulté. Nous pouvons travailler la compréhension et l’expression, revoir des points de grammaire, enrichir le vocabulaire ou simplement apprendre à parler avec davantage d’aisance. Après plusieurs années de voyage en famille à travers l’Amérique latine, j’ai aussi vécu l’apprentissage d’une langue de l’autre côté : celui de l’apprenant qui doit communiquer au quotidien, parfois avec un vocabulaire limité et en faisant des erreurs. Cette expérience influence aujourd’hui ma manière d’enseigner : l’important est aussi d’oser parler et d’utiliser la langue pour communiquer.

Enseignante diplômée de Français (FLE), Espagnol (ELE) et Latin : apprenons en nous amusant ! Hi, I'm Melissa ! I'm from Geneva (Switzerland), but I’m a real globetrotter and you’ll often find me far from home. I'm a very curious person, I love traveling, and I've always been passionate about languages. I've been teaching for over five years now, and I'm an enthusiastic and passionate teacher. I'm also very patient, and I always make sure that my learners feel comfortable and confident during my classes. Having been a dedicated language learner myself, I understand the difficulties that come with learning a language, and I use this knowledge to guide my students as effectively as possible. My goal is to spark their curiosity and help them go far in their learning journey. My lessons are characterized by their dynamic and playful nature: I firmly believe that we learn better when we’re having fun, and that’s exactly what I try to create in my classes. Of course, seriousness also has its place, and I always strive to strike the right balance between the two. I use a variety of materials that make the lessons interactive and help avoid routine.

    An excellent lesson with Manon. Her teaching methods help me build vocabulary in French and she helps make my French sound more natural with exercises and discussions.

    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.

    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 !!!

  • Junko Asakura

    Junko Asakura

    Learning French

    She is the best for both the General French and the DELF preparation! As for the General French, over 4 years my learning experience has evolved thanks to her approach to tailor the lessons. I learn French for a professional objective, and my situation has changed: the language level, the responsibilities on the job, and the context of the work. Accordingly, she has constantly adapted materials and methods. That has developed my skill in an organic way. In terms of DELF preparation, she guided me step by step. At the beginning, DELF felt daunting. She began with basics but the guidance did not limit to them: from the grammar to the quality of arguments, from required vocabulary to nuances and precision, from pointing out recurring errors to identifying the areas to develop. By the day of the test, the fear had transformed to confidence. She walked me through the learning journey with a strong engagement and encouragement. That motivated me and consolidated my French. Thank you Jade!

  • Gurmandeep

    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!

  • Christian

    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.

  • Jason Lavin

    Learning French

    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!

  • Kemal Bozkurt

    Sabine Lea is the best french teacher I have ever met, she makes everything so easy to understand that you want to learn more and more.With her tools she makes every lesson fun and something to look forward in your day.She has a very warm and welcoming personality that you feel like you are talking to your friend and not your teacher.She always has a clear plan and lots of interesting activities to do in our lessons.Also she adapts our lessons to my needs and wants.We mix different parts of french throughout our lessons like having a french conservation adapted to my level about my day and habits at the beginning of each lesson sometimes followed by reading a passage about the things that i am interested in and so much more different stuff.Even when i am tired she adapts the intensity of the course that i never get overwhelmed whilst learning french.She is a great teacher and i can assure you that you will learn french super easily.

    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.

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?

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.
