Friendly teacher with 12 years of experience willing to help you become fluent in French or English Bonjour, Je m'appelle Fatima et j'ai 27 ans. Je suis originaire d'Iran mais j'habite en France. J'ai obtenu mon licence en traduction et linguistique et j'étais enseignante d'anglais pendant 6 ans. Maintenant je suis étudiante en psychologie et science du langage à l'université de Paris 8. Je parle français, anglais, persan et un peu d'allemands. Hi, My name is Fatima and I'm 27 years old. I am originally from Iran but live in France. I studied English Translation and Linguistics at university and have been teaching English for over 6 years. Right now I teach French to kids, adolescents and adults. P.S : Feel free to ask for discount if you can't afford the prices. I would be glad to help. J'adore enseigner les langues car c'est comme ouvrir des portes d'un nouveau monde aux gens. Teaching languages is my passion. Learning a language is like entering a new world and teaching it is opening the doors of a new world to someone else. I have worked with people from different countries with different backgrounds. I taught kids, adolescents and adults. I am constantly updating myself on new teaching methods to make my classes fun and enjoyable. J'ai trouvé la meilleure méthode pour apprendre une nouvelle langue qui est inspirée par la façon d'apprentissage des enfants. Elle est basée sur la communication orale et commence par l'écoute, puis parler et après lire et écrire. Durant mes cours, tu seras immergés dans la langue.

A story, a class, a lesson written just for you. I've been teaching since 2011, have worked in universities and online and lived in 3 continents. If you like structure and challenge in your learning without the performative drills and rigidity of a "traditional" classroom, my lessons might be for you. The atmosphere is relaxed and while the conversations might seem casual, the purpose is always to guide you to closer to fluency. Here, we use the target language whether you're a beginner or advanced. We listen to and discuss my stories adapted to your level. You'll hear about intuitive cats, safe spaces and bubbles, eerie seaside villages, spiritual retreats that take an oppressive turn and a dry cleaning service that has you looking perfect for any occasion. The challenge of language learning is learning to tolerate ambiguity. You won't understand every word. The verb used in Spanish will not always correspond to a literal translation of an English sentence. In my experience, the most successful learners relinquish the compulsive need to understand every single word or question why one "has" (tener/avoir) a number of years in Spanish and French, but "are" an age in English, before they engage with the language. If the goal is to understand and speak the language, this need becomes a hindrance. Ever wondered why many people can't speak a word of Spanish or French despite years of instruction at school? It comes down to a classroom built for linguistic analysis, not language acquisition. Come to my class and speak.

    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

    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!

    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!

    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?

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.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a French teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online French lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

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.
