Certified French teacher (DAEFLE): we talk, we move, we laugh, and you actually progress 🇫🇷 Hi there! I'm a French teacher with a DAEFLE diploma and training in teaching French as a foreign language (FLE), plus a background in special education. I've been teaching on italki for 7 years, as well as in language centers and schools. I'm easygoing, but serious about results: relaxed vibe, solid work. My approach: your lesson, your way I don't do "one-size-fits-all" lessons. We start with you: your goals, your interests, your pace. Then I build lessons around you. Would you rather: 🚶 walk and chat at the same time? 🍳 cook in French? 🎭 try theatre or role-play? 🎤 sing karaoke? 🎬 learn with videos (listening and speaking practice)? 🎧 listen to a podcast? 🧩 play quizzes and games? 💬 talk about a topic you're passionate about? 📚 follow a textbook and work on your writing, if you prefer a more classic, structured approach? Tell me what you enjoy and I'll shape the lesson around it. Got an original idea? Suggest it. I'm energetic and always up for trying something new! Who I teach Beginners, intermediate and advanced learners, kids and adults. I also adapt to students who need a gentler or more structured approach: my special education background helps me find what works for each person. Why choose me? ✔ DAEFLE-certified + FLE training ✔ 7 years of experience on italki ✔ 100% personalized lessons ✔ Good energy and kindness, with your progress always in focus Book a trial lesson: we'll get to know each other and build your learning plan together! 😊

I’m skilled at helping professionals who: • Prepare for interviews, exams, or presentations • Refine their written or spoken communication for business or academic settings • Relocate to France or work with French colleagues or clients You can expect: • Personalized correction and vocabulary development • Realistic role-plays (interviews, meetings, client calls) • Guidance on tone, register, and cultural context Having worked in corporate and holistic environments, I understand how communication styles vary across sectors and can help you find your authentic French voice in any situation.

✨ Native French speaker & Parisian, I help you improve your oral French & pass your French exams ✨ ✨ Bonjour! I’m a native French speaker with a passion for helping others master the language, whether for casual conversation or rigorous exam preparation, DELF/DALF/TCF/TEF (B2-C2). My journey living abroad—in the USA and in London—has given me experience with the challenges of keeping a language sharp when it’s not part of daily life. I know how frustrating it can be to struggle with confidence in speaking. That’s why I’m here to help! Raised in France, I spent my junior year in the US. I hold a Master's Degree in Communications from Sciences Po (class of 2012). As a French teacher, I thoroughly enjoy sharing knowledge and sparking debates with my students—encouraging them to think deeply about language and culture. Inside and outside the classroom, I love engaging in thoughtful discussions on news, politics, technology, cinema, and much more. My lessons are designed to be engaging and dynamic, encouraging students to actively practice French in meaningful contexts. I use a communicative approach that incorporates discussions, debates, and cultural topics to stimulate critical thinking and make learning enjoyable. I tailor each lesson to the individual needs and interests of my students, blending grammar and vocabulary into practical activities. My teaching style is patient and supportive, aimed at building both language skills and confidence in speaking. I bring a multicultural perspective to our lessons and tailor each session to your goals and interests, ! ✨✨

French Teacher | Native French | Fluent in Spanish Apprends le français avec un natif et parle avec confiance dès le premier jour ! Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Arris, je suis professeur de français natif, né et ayant grandi dans les Alpes françaises, avec des origines berbères. Je vis actuellement à Mexico, où j’enseigne le français aussi bien dans une école qu’en ligne. Je suis passionné par l’Histoire, le football et les sports de plein air. J’ai pratiqué le théâtre pendant 4 ans et joué au football pendant 11 ans. Aujourd’hui, je pratique le ski, la randonnée, la course à pied et la plongée sous-marine. Après avoir obtenu un Master en sciences politiques et travaillé pendant 6 ans en France dans la lutte contre le gaspillage alimentaire, j’ai décidé de changer de voie et de me lancer dans l’aventure. Pendant près de 3 ans, j’ai voyagé en mode backpacker à travers l’Amérique latine, en parcourant plus de 11 pays d’Amérique du Sud et d’Amérique centrale : de Mexico jusqu'à la Patagonie. Cette expérience m’a permis de perfectionner mon espagnol et, surtout, de m’immerger profondément dans les cultures latino-américaines. Aujourd’hui, je souhaite partager avec toi non seulement ma langue, mais aussi ma culture, mon histoire et ma passion pour le français et pour la France. 🌎

Friendly Arabic / French / English tutor for Beginners learn step by step I’m Soumeya, a dedicated tutor specializing in Arabic, French, and English for beginners. With a Bachelor’s in Biochemistry and a Master’s in Genetics, I bring a structured, analytical approach to language learning. My passion for teaching began in high school, where I helped younger family members improve their language skills, . As a lifelong language learner (currently exploring Russian and German), I deeply understand the challenges beginners face. My lessons blend clarity, creativity, and engaging methods including games and step-by-step techniques to build confidence. As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and a good listener. I truly believe that when a student understands something clearly, they become more motivated and enjoy learning more. My goal is to make learning Arabic , French , English simple, clear, and enjoyable. I create a safe and positive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Building confidence is very important to me, because confidence is the key to learning a new language successfully. In my lessons, we always start with strong basics and then progress step by step according to the student’s level. I use games, flashcards, stories, and real-life examples to help students remember better and stay focused. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s needs and goals, whether it’s conversation, vocabulary, or grammar. My goal is for students to improve at their own pace and enjoy the learning process.

Politics and French graduate who has acquired an advanced level of French, and wants to help others! Do you want to feel more confident speaking and writing French? Do you aim to widen your thematic vocabulary? Perhaps you want to master French grammar? Bonjour à tous! Je m'appelle Ravi, et j'aide les apprenants qui ont un niveau débutant et intermédiaire en français à d'abord comprendre et ensuite manier la langue avec plus de confiance et de facilité. Je suis diplômé de sciences politiques et de français de l'université de Warwick. Ayant récemment obtenu mon diplôme, j'ai également gagné un prix pour la meilleure performance dans un examen de traduction. Pendant huit mois, j'étais enseignant-bénévole de français pour une asso étudiante, focalisant sur la grammaire en contexte et une pléthore d'exercices participatives. De plus, je contribue regulièrement à la conception de tests sur le site web français facile, et, si vous souhaitez avoir des devoirs, je pourrai écrire de petits tests pour vous aider à consolider chaque cours Si la grammaire constitue le socle de l'expression linguistique, son importance n'empêche pas non plus que l'on s'amuse en l'étudiant. Vu que je suis moi-même apprenant depuis plusieurs années, sans être un locuteur natif, j'ai une connaissance profonde des écueils qui posent problème aux apprenants anglophones du français. Si vous souhaitez améliorer votre compréhension de la grammaire française, ou tout simplement pratiquer la conversation dans un environnement détendu et encourageant, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. À bientôt j'espère!

Native speaker (qualified French teacher & 5 years of experience) & TEFL teacher Bonjour! Je m'appelle Louise, je suis française et professeure de FLE & EFL (English Foreign Language) :) Passionnée de voyages, je sais combien la pratique d'une langue est importante & est gage d'une meilleure expérience. Through my travels I have realized that the best way to learn a language is to practice it. For this reason, I like to focus on conversation while leaving room for theory for better execution in the long run. I love teaching my mother tongue and talking about the culture that goes with it while learning about the culture of others. We share so many differences and similarities that bring us together, I think it's great to meet people from all over the world :) I prioritize the way the learner wishes to proceed, practical, theoretical or both, I adapt to all profiles. To make the lesson interactive and motivating, I use a variety of documents according to your interests and sometimes ask YOU to choose the theme of the lesson so that we can discuss this topic together & you feel more comfortable talking in French about something you like or know, while keeping communication goals close to reality. Finally, I can help with correction and give homework if the learner is motivated to learn French in his/her free time. J'ai hâte de faire ta connaissance, à très vite ! :)

    Benjamin helped me so much in improving my French abilities. I remember I could barely speak in French but after 8 months, I was able to achieve B2 in TCF on first try. His advice on the exams really helped. Highly recommend!!

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 !!!

    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!

    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!

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?

  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
