FR: je m'appelle Rahma, j'ai 29 ans et je vis en Tunisie.Je suis résidente en Psychiatrie. Je suis passionnée d' Histoire et de littérature. Milan Kundera est mon auteur préféré. ( ***Pour mes leçons, je préfère utiliser Google Meet plutôt que italki Classroom*** ) EN: My name is Rahma, i am 29 y.o and i am from Tunisia. i am a Psychiatry resident. i am fond of History and literature. Milan Kundera is my favorite author. ( ***i prefer using Google Meet rather than Italkiclassroom :) *** ) Je suis très patiente et ouverte. J'aime que mes élèves soient à l'aise. Ça ne me dérange pas de répéter ou de réexpliquer ce qui n'est pas clair. I am very patient and open-minded. I want my students to be at their ease. it doesn't bother me to repeat or explain things from scratch. Ma méthode s'articule autour de deux axes: - Lecture et compréhension de l'écrit: je choisis un passage d'un livre que l'étudiant va lire à haute voix. Par la suite je relis le passage en m'arrêtant sur les mots difficiles et les phrases complexes. le reste de la séance sera consacré à un débat sur le thème de l'extrait choisi, l'étudiant exprime librement son opinion et je tâcherai de l'aider à trouver les mots justes - Langue: dans ces séances nous aurons l'occasion de voir ou revoir l'essentiel de la conjugaison et de la grammaire. Selon le souhait de l'étudiant nous pouvons aussi faire des dictées. Des exercices d'évaluation et de consolidation sont aussi mis à sa disposition.

French teacher with 7 years of experience (Adults only) Fearless bonjour everyone ! I’m Aude, born and raised in France. I always had a little something for languages for as long as I remember. But I am also shy, yes!, and I love to find solutions for students who do not know how to unleash their speaking. I do not believe in lengthy explanations but love to answer questions. So ask me yours ! I think that learning a new language is hard work, so it must be fun and efficient. I do not believe in lesson plans, nothing is set in stone. I will be here to guide you on this journey, but walking it is your decision. You're the boss. My goal is for you to feel fearless when speaking French. Shy and introverts are (more than) welcome !

Certified teacher with over 7 years of experience My name is Esther, I'm a certified English teacher, and in 2019 I started tutoring French. I've lived in different countries (France, Spain, UK, Canada, India, Germany, currently Sweden) and I'm passionate about languages. I'm patient and supportive. I do know that mistakes are part of the process and I offer a humane approach. I like to have a friendly relationship with my students as long as there's mutual respect. IMPORTANT POLICY Italki doesn't allow less than 24h cancellations but I forgive 2/year because I know that sometimes things happen (sickness, emergency) but I cannot allow more as an hour not taught is an hour not paid. CURRENTLY NOT TAKING NEW STUDENTS FOR ENGLISH OR KIDS. NOT PREPARING FOR EXAMS EITHER. Also: my MATERIAL is in ENGLISH. I organize my lessons according to your needs, the level you want to reach or the structures you want to review. I use a variety of materials (lessons, articles, podcasts, videos, songs...) and techniques (learn by doing, learn by repetition...). To give you an idea, my students starting French from scratch reach a CONVERSATIONAL LEVEL after around 7-8 months PROVIDED they take 1h class per week and are willing to do some homework. Usually count in average 30 hours of regular lessons to reach a full A2. And bear in mind that regularity is more important than quantity!

Tutor with a passion for Molière's language and 2 years of experience. Salut ! My name is Bouthaina and I'm from Tunisia, Tataouine (not the planet, if you know, you know). a little Information about me I watch A LOT of Asian dramas, so if you do too, please let me know because now we will have something to talk about during conversational lessons!! I'm also very interesetd in chinese as language and culture! Now, whether you want to improve your conversation, finally understand French grammar, or prepare for the DELF, I'm here to help you in your learning journey in a structured, simplified and most importantly very fun way! Since you chose to learn French here is a bit of history fact: French evolved from the vulgar Latin that was spoken by ordinary people, while Classical Latin was the “correct” form. Centuries later, that “incorrect” Latin became French (of course this is way too simplified but you get the point). It’s a perfect reminder that mistakes aren’t failures, they’re in fact how languages evolve, and how we learn.My goal is to create a safe space where you can make mistakes, ask questions, and actually use French without being afraid of getting everything perfect. Here is what I offer as a tutor; 🗣️ Conversation & speaking confidence 📚 Grammar, conjugation & vocabulary ✍️ Written & spoken French 🎯 DELF preparation & exam strategies Remember; progress over perfection!

🇫🇷 You Understand French but Struggle to Speak? Let's Talk! | A1–B2 Bonjour and welcome! 🇫🇷 My name is Bibiane, and I’m a native French speaker living in France. Do you understand French but find it difficult to express yourself when it’s time to speak? You’re not alone! My lessons are designed to help you become more comfortable speaking French through natural, relaxed and enjoyable conversations. I mainly work with beginner and intermediate learners (A1–B2) and focus on everyday French and real-life situations. We can talk about travel, food, work, hobbies, culture, daily life, or any topic that interests you. I adapt each lesson to your level, goals and interests. During our conversations, I’ll help you improve your vocabulary, pronunciation and fluency while giving you useful corrections and expressions you can actually use in everyday French. I’m fluent in English and I also speak some Spanish. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Applied Foreign Languages and a master’s degree in International Trade. My teaching style is patient, supportive and relaxed. You don’t need to worry about making mistakes — they’re a natural part of learning. My goal is to create a comfortable space where you can speak, experiment and gradually become more spontaneous in French. Outside teaching, I enjoy travelling, discovering new cultures and meeting people from different backgrounds. I’d love to help you make French a natural part of your everyday life. À bientôt! 😊

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

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.

Basic French conversation (A2) typically takes 3–6 months with 2–3 French lessons per week.
Intermediate French fluency (B1–B2) may take 6–12 months while advanced fluency (C1–C2) may take 1–2 years.

A private French tutor speeds up your progress by providing immediate feedback and consistent speaking practice. Learners who book 3–5 French classes online per week usually move through levels faster than those studying only once a week.
