🇫🇷 Helping you speak French naturally and with confidence! 🇺🇸 Hi! I’m Manon! I’m passionate about teaching French to people from all over the world and making learning fun! :) What to expect from my lessons? My lessons are mainly conversation-based, but much more than just chatting! We’ll start with a short activity based on your needs: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation or speaking skills. Then, we’ll practise through a relaxed conversation around your interests. As we talk, I’ll write corrections and suggestions on screen, so you can notice your mistakes and learn more natural ways to express yourself without interrupting you. After each lesson, you’ll receive personalised feedback. My goal is to help you speak naturally and confidently. No pressure, no judgement… just a fun time with a native speaker! 😊 🇫🇷 Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Manon et j’adore enseigner le français à des personnes du monde entier ! Comment se passent mes cours ? Mes cours sont axés sur la conversation, mais pas seulement ! Nous commençons par une courte activité selon vos besoins : vocabulaire, grammaire, prononciation... Puis, nous pratiquons à travers une conversation autour de vos centres d’intérêt. Pendant que vous parlez, je note les corrections et suggestions à l’écran, sans interrompre la conversation. Après chaque cours, vous recevez également un compte rendu personnalisé. Mon objectif : vous aider à parler français naturellement et avec confiance. Pas de stress, pas de jugement… juste du français et une bonne conversation ! 😊

Comment se passent mes cours ? Mes leçons sont 80% conversation et 20% pratique ciblée. On oublie les cours magistraux ! - Débutants A1-A2 : on apprend à se présenter, commander au café, poser des questions simples. Tu parles dès le 1er cours. - Conversation : on discute de sujets qui t’intéressent pour améliorer ta fluidité et ta prononciation. - Correction douce : je note tes erreurs et te réexplique à la fin pour que tu progresses sans blocage. Mes méthodes : - Jeux de rôle et dialogues de la vie quotidienne - Vocabulaire et grammaire expliqués en contexte - Fiches PDF + audio envoyés après chaque cours pour réviser Mon objectif : créer un espace confortable où tu n’as pas peur de te tromper. L’erreur fait partie de l’apprentissage ! Je parle français et anglais, donc je peux t’expliquer si tu bloques. Réserve une leçon d’essai de 25 min et on définit ensemble ton plan personnalisé.

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!

    Learning French

    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!

Grâce à son excellente méthode d'enseignement et à ses explications claires, mon niveau de préparation au TEF s'est considérablement amélioré. Elle sait identifier les points à renforcer et propose des stratégies efficaces pour progresser rapidement. J'apprécie énormément son dévouement, son sérieux et la qualité de son travail. Son accompagnement a été d'une grande valeur pour moi et m'a permis de gagner en confiance dans mes compétences en français. Je la recommande sans aucune hésitation à 100 %. Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent travail et votre soutien constant !

  • 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.

  • 杨雪微 Xuewei Yang

    I really enjoyed this lesson. Molka was patient and clear, explaining grammar points in simple, practical ways instead of just going over textbook rules. She encouraged me to speak up and gently corrected my mistakes, which helped build my confidence. The class pace suited me perfectly, and the materials were well-prepared. I felt I made visible progress in this session. I highly recommend this teacher. Looking forward to our next lesson!

  • 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.

    I look forward to lessons with Virginie each week. We have fun and real conversations, and I can’t believe I’m able to converse so well and am able to express myself in another language. Virginie has been pivotal to my improvement as she takes notes during our conversations, so that I know where I need to improve. I feel relaxed and encouraged in my lessons with Virginie. Virginie is a fabulous teacher that I highly recommend!

    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!

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

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.
