Professeur certifié avec plus de 5 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement I am a French teacher graduated from a DAEFLE (Alliance Française Paris) and I'm teaching since 5 years. I have gained experience as a French teacher in internationally renowned schools such as "Alliance Française" in Colombia and "France Langue" in the Caribbean. Currently, I have been teaching French in a private school in Tokyo since 2019. I have teaching experience in whole class and also in private lessons. As I am really flexible, I will propose you a personalized class. We could do oral communication with diversified topics or we could focus on the grammar or prepare for an examination or just begin to learn the language from the beginning. I will adapt to your needs :)

    Madame Cécile is still my favorite tutor! She is patient, professional, and always attentive to my needs. I really appreciated her support and guidance while preparing for the DELF B1 exam. After passing the B1 exam, I naturally decided to continue learning with her to prepare for the DELF B2, particularly the speaking section. I highly recommend her lessons!

    Manon is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are always interesting, enjoyable, and well-prepared. We've been studying together for over six months, and I can really see how much I've improved. I started with almost no French, and now I can actually have conversations, which feels amazing :) We spend a lot of time speaking during our lessons, and Manon always brings interesting topics, texts, and activities to discuss. She creates a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where it's easy to practice and learn without feeling nervous about making mistakes. I always look forward to our lessons and would happily recommend Manon to anyone who wants to learn French!

Je me suis notamment préparée avec lui pour le DALF C1, en particulier pour la production orale. Même si j’étais au début un peu stressée ou hésitante à l’idée de prendre la parole, je me suis toujours sentie à l’aise pendant les cours. Merci beaucoup à lui <3

    I've had the pleasure of learning French with Maïli for a few lessons now and cannot recommend her enough. Somehow, she strikes just the right balance between letting me ramble on in French and jumping in to correct common mistakes and words that she notices I struggle with. Her style of teaching is great for both building confidence and learning the particularities of the language simultaneously, and I've certainly noticed my French really improve since we started lessons. On top of that she's always friendly and enthusiastic to teach, and always has a nice idiom for any occasion --- very effective for making one's French a little more natural!

    Romain is a phenomenal teacher! He’s kind, engaging, and an exceptional conversationalist. I love the balance between structure and flexibility in his lessons. The materials cover diverse topics while leaving room for spontaneous conversations. As someone who asks tons of questions, I appreciate how clearly and patiently he explains things! Since I speak Portuguese and English, connecting French to Portuguese makes a huge difference. Concepts I was trying to learn for months, Romain explained them in less than four minutes! Beyond French, his extensive knowledge makes conversations profoundly enriching. I feel like I’m learning about life, culture, and different perspectives, not just a language. I also appreciate his approach to corrections: he gives room to find your own words and build confidence. After just a couple of lessons, I feel like I’ve progressed beyond what I could’ve imagined! I leave every lesson feeling fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t recommend him enough!! 😊

  • Grace

    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!

    Learning French

    I came to Lenaïg with the goal of progressing my French skills from near zero to B1. After 4 sessions I am feeling incredibly confident that I will be able to reach my goal with her help, if I am willing to dedicate the time and effort. I have an anxiety streak, especially around learning new things with an audience but her approach has made this very easy for me. Our sessions feel less like a formal instructor and more like a conversation with a friend. Lenaïg's English is incredibly clear. If you are considering her as an instructor and are coming from a native English background, don't hesitate to book a lesson.

  • 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.

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.

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.

How do I find a good French tutor on italki?

Finding a good French tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good French teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Can I find French tutors for specific needs on italki?

Yes, italki offers French tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find French tutors for beginners,
French tutors for kids, and
French tutors for conversations, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, French grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (DELF, DALF, TCF) and business French.

If you feel more comfortable learning French with someone who can speak your native language, italki also offers tutors for
French classes for English speakers and
French classes for Arabic speakers. Whatever your goal, there’s a French tutor for it.
