Bringing out the best in every student Each student is a precious gem. My goals: making every lesson effective and enjoyable; boosting the students' confidence; working on topics that really matter to them. Ogni persona è una gemma preziosa. L'idea è di rendere ogni lezione interessante e proficua, con focus specifico sugli argomenti e sugli aspetti linguistici che contano davvero per lo studente. Chaque individu est un bijou. Je préfère une approche détendue, afin de faciliter l'interaction avec l'étudiant, pour que l'apprentissage soit plus efficace et plus agréable. Acho que um jeito descontraído na interação com os estudantes seja a melhor maneira de tornar a aprendizagem mais eficaz e agradável.

TCF/TEF prep and business French — speak under pressure Hi! I'm a native French speaker, engineer and full-time tutor based in Guadeloupe — same time zone as New York, Miami and Montreal. I work with two kinds of people: candidates with a TCF or TEF date, and engineers and IT professionals who need to function with French-speaking teams. In both cases the obstacle is rarely grammar — it's holding up under pressure. For two years I've prepared students for the TCF and TEF speaking sections: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, confidence. I hold a certification in teaching French to newly arrived learners and I'm training with the Alliance Française. Before that, several years as an engineer and four years living aboard a sailboat — where the patience comes from. Lessons are structured: one objective per session, targeted correction, the situations you'll actually face. Relaxed, but you'll be pushed. You'll speak more than I do. I help with: ✅ TCF, TEF & DELF speaking prep ✅ Conversation & fluency repair ✅ Beginner to advanced French ✅ Business French ✅ French for engineering & IT Exam, move abroad, work or pleasure — lessons are built around your goal. Message me your objective and deadline before booking. Let's make French your strength.

Native English and French speaker, C1 level in German. I propose to emphasize oral comprehension and expression through friendly conversation. Of course, we can also discuss the underlying grammar when that helps to better understand. I will invite you to choose which material or topic is of most interest to you. On my side, I have varied interests including technology, aviation, programming, skiing, travelling and more. Looking forward to working with you! I was involved in teaching for many years: as a skydiving instructor for one, and also acting as supervisor for new hirees and interns in our IT organization. I offer to discuss with students the material of most interest to them, and make language learning motivating and entertaining. I emphasize oral comprehension and expression, but I am also glad to explain the underlying grammar when that helps to better understand. The last four years have allowed me to collect a wide variety of tricks and activities to hopefully make sessions varied, educational and fun at the same time.

French | Premium | CEFR | Daily - Business - Conversation | TCF - DELF - DALF | I design 1-to-1 French lessons based on your use cases. I'm Alexis, a graduate of Sciences Po and the Sorbonne. I'm also a certified TCF examiner. When we start, I assess your level and needs. I check your goals and the contexts in which you might use French. Then, I plan lessons around who you are: your exams or your work, your travels or your relocation, your personal life or your professional projects, etc. All your communications with other people will guide what we work on. I use CEFR descriptors to pick up activities and and build up materials for your profile. Your scenario starts with discovery then learning before moving into free solo practice. Sessions may include vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, reading, writing, conversation or simulation. You develop reception, production, interaction and mediation. We work on linguistic capacity as well as pragmatic and sociolinguistic skills. For business French, we use emails and documents from your field. We also work on meetings. For exam preparation, we focus on the test format and methods that address your current gaps. For general French, I use your routine, priorities, hobbies and current projects. Between sessions, you receive homework, and I also share reports and corrections. The goal is to help you use French more independently and feel confident, including when you need time to find a word. If this approach fits your needs, send me a message and tell me about you!

    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!! 😊

  • 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.

  • Sherry

    Learning French

    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
  • 💬 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?
