I offer exercises and personalized feedback tailored to each student’s specific needs. What matters most is finding what interests the student and encouraging them to practice in order to improve.

Graduated from Sorbonne-Nouvelle Paris | 4+ years @ Alliance Française Brussels & 11 years on italki Hi! I am a French teacher who holds a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Civilization from the University of Angers (Western France), a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language from the University of Paris III Sorbonne-Nouvelle and a Diploma in Translation from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver (Canada). I chose to live and teach abroad (Canada, England, Spain, Belgium) to enjoy discovering other cultures, people and environments and was highly rewarded in doing so. I have taught French to students from all over the world, mainly adults, at all levels, in groups as well as in private lessons, at various schools, in corporations, in all of the European Institutions in Brussels - including staff of the President of the European Commission - and in the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. Those classes included the preparation to exams such as DELF & DALF. I draw on my experience both as a language teacher and as a language student to deliver the best quality teaching I can. STUDENT FEEDBACK ★ I can't say enough how encouraging and supportive Elisabeth is. She was perceptive enough as a teacher to see that I was feeling discouraged over my listening abilities and she coached me through it. She is not only skilled in teaching, she is also generously patient, understanding, and attentive. ★ If I could give Elisabeth 6 stars for being supporting and encouraging, I would. [...] She is as supportive as she is knowledgeable about teaching French.

⭐️ Professeur passionné 👨‍🏫 avec + de 10 ans d'expérience d'enseignement. Plus sur moi ⬇️ Niveau A2 -> C2 _________ • Je suis d'abord un passionné de langues : je parle anglais, russe, espagnol, et j'apprends l'italien, le persan, le latin (et beaucoup d'autres langues m'intéressent). • Cette passion m'a amené à rencontrer beaucoup d'étrangers, et à leur enseigner le français. J'ai ainsi découvert que j'adorais enseigner le français, transmettre ma passion et ma connaissance de la langue française. J'ai passé ensuite plusieurs années à enseigner le français à Paris, soit en échange d'une autre langue, soit comme un complément à mon travail. Mais la passion a gagné, et j'ai décidé de faire de l'enseignement du français mon vrai et seul métier ! 😃 Et tu sais quoi ? J'adore ! 🧡

Professeur de français langue étrangère certifié avec plus de 10 ans d'enseignement. I have been teaching French for 10 years in classes (in France, in Georgia, in Peru and in Poland) and for 8 years online. I can adapt my way to teach according to your profile and your objectives. I had different adult profiles: people in love who met a French woman or French man, persons who want to study in a French speaker country, retired people or just people who love French language. I speak English very well. I also have a Spanish and Polish intermediate level. I also know a little bit of German, and Georgian. So I understand the difficulties than the different students can have with learning my mother tongue. I can also give class to teenagers. I respect your learning rhythm. We choose one topic together. We can study many documents on the same topic. The amount of time that we spend on the topic is variable, it’s up to you. During the class, you talk as much as you want. When we are done with one topic, we can study the same topic, in the upper level, or we can just change of topic, it’s up to you. Between 2 classes, I will always give you some homework to do (studying on oneself is also important). You will make the exercises on our common notebook, and I will correct it, you will be able to see everything. During the following class, normally you will be able to talk about the document studied during your free time.

Certified teacher with 5 years of experience I am a nomadic french teacher, working from wherever my van is :) My availability can change a lot so keep a eye on my calendar and please feel free to contact me with any queries or questions you may have! A few years ago I began tutoring and found myself to enjoy it. Then I decided to travel the world and, luckily for me, french is a language people want to learn. So I studied, passed my certification and went on my way! I have taught in middle schools, high schools and adult vocational courses (a thing the french government does...or tries to). But I am afraid institutions are not for me. Teaching to students who are forced to be there does not feel good and shows very little results. That is why I am here, hopping to be helpful to people who need/want it. I believe in an horizontal school, where the student is active in his learning. No one-way lectures here but more of a dialogue to share knowledge and pounder together. I love my language and will happily answer your questions, share culture, expressions and quirks of this f@*#ing grammar that, I swear, has a logic (not a very logical logic but, you know...). The classes will be based on your objectives and interests. The pertinence of the lessons will match your involvement in your learning. Of course, if you are not sure of what you need to progress and which areas need to be worked on, we can take some time to figure it out together. Just book a conversation or trial lesson to beginning.

Ton coach de français pour progresser avec plaisir |Cours personnalisés | Expression orale & examens Je m’appelle Aurore et je viens d’Amiens, dans le nord de la France. Le français est ma langue maternelle et je parle aussi anglais couramment. Passionnée par les langues et les cultures, je vis aujourd’hui entre la Thaïlande et le Laos après avoir vécu au Vietnam, en Malaisie et au Cambodge. J’ai étudié la biologie avant de choisir une vie tournée vers les voyages, les échanges culturels et l’apprentissage des langues. J’apprends moi-même le laotien, donc je comprends très bien les difficultés liées à l’apprentissage d’une langue étrangère : le manque de confiance, la peur de faire des erreurs ou la perte de motivation. Mon objectif est simple : vous aider à parler un français naturel, fluide et confiant. Mes cours sont principalement axés sur l’expression orale et les conversations authentiques. Nous parlons de sujets variés selon vos intérêts : voyage, culture, actualité, vie quotidienne, etc. Pendant les cours : ✓ je corrige vos erreurs avec des explications claires ✓ je prends des notes en direct (vocabulaire, grammaire, prononciation…) ✓ je vous envoie ensuite un document personnalisé pour réviser ✓ j’adapte chaque leçon à votre niveau et à vos objectifs Je peux également préparer des cours plus structurés (grammaire, écriture, prononciation) ainsi que des entraînements au DELF ou au TCF. → Chaque cours est entièrement personnalisé dans une ambiance détendue et bienveillante.

Experienced French Teacher • Structured, Supportive & Student-Focused Lessons I’m a French teacher with 15+ years’ experience. Originally from France, I’ve lived in Scotland for 16 years. I teach teenagers (15+) and adults from beginner to advanced. I can explain clearly in English when needed, but focus on using French as much as possible. Lessons are structured and personalised around your level and goals, linking grammar, vocabulary, and all four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Listening and writing exercises are usually given as homework so the lesson time can be used for active language output. Lessons include varied activities, regular review, and clear explanations. I take notes during class using either a Google Doc or a Word document and send the class notes, the materials used during the lesson and optional homework after each lesson. The pace is flexible — we spend extra time on areas you find challenging and move faster when you’re ready, making every lesson personalised. Types of lessons available: - Leçons de français : structured, progressive lessons based on various themes. - Topic-based conversation : various materials are used to encourage you to speak, with the full focus on the lesson being on speaking. - Trial Lesson - Amélioration des compétences d'écriture : exercises and feedback designed to help you improve your writing skills. Please see individual lesson types for more details. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me :-) A bientôt !

    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!

Les cours sont bien organisés et très professionnels, tout en se déroulant dans une atmosphère détendue et agréable. 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!! 😊

    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!

    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

    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.

  • Sherry

    I achieved 13 in both speaking and writing with his guidance for TCF Canada. I’m now preparing for DELF B2 and am still learning with him! I highly recommend Sekimi! I’ve taken more than 40 lessons with him, and he helped me go from struggling to express myself to being able to communicate much more freely in French. He is very patient and knows the TCF exam requirements extremely well. Highly recommended! 😊

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
