En tant que tuteur, j’ai une approche amicale et je privilégie la conversation informelle basée sur un sujet. Mon cours consiste à mener une discussion détendue et à progresser en pratiquant. Mais quand tu en as besoin, je peux aussi t’enseigner les règles grammaticales et te donner des explications techniques.

Experienced and passionate teacher |Gain confidence in speaking french and build up your vocab I’m kind and curious, and love connecting with people from all over the world. My journey as a language learner has given me firsthand experience with the challenges and joys of mastering a new language. Before teaching French, I worked a decade in hospitality, mainly in concierge and guest services in France, England, Argentina, and Australia. These experiences have helped me to guide my students not just in the lovely language journey, but in cultural understanding and real-life communication. I trained at Alliance Française so you can trust in my teaching foundation. I speak several languages myself (Spanish, English, Portuguese, a bit of Serbian and a bit of German), which has helped me to relate to learners from many backgrounds. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, swimming, and playing tennis. If you’re looking to learn French for travel, work, or simply to communicate better and more naturally, I’m here to provide you my assistance so that you can reach your goals and unlock your full potential.

Hi, my name is Stan, I was born in Paris, France, and have always lived in my native country. But I enjoy travelling around the world. Languages are not only practical means to communicate with each other. They are also powerful ways to understand this world and try to make it a better place. As a french community tutor, my goal is to help you improve yourself in this beautiful language (which is often said to be tough), and in the most comfortable way for you, according to your own needs and availability. Listening to YOU first is the key step of my teaching method. Whether you don't know a word of French, or practice free conversation already, you are the one who needs to speak. Who said that learning a foreign language cannot be a pleasant experience ?

French teacher living and teaching in Tokyo! Bonjour ! Je m'appelle Alicia, je suis française et j'habite au Japon. En France, j'ai obtenu une licence de langues étrangères à l'Université de Lille. J'ai aussi étudié un an en Russie pour y apprendre cette langue. My name is Alicia, I’m French and I live in Japan. In France, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Foreign Languages at the University of Lille. I also studied for a year in Russia to learn the language. Actuellement professeur de français dans une école de langues à Tokyo depuis un an, j'aimerais également enseigner sur italki afin de permettre à des personnes du monde entier d'apprendre le français. Depuis mon enfance, j'aime étudier les langues étrangères, et j'ai toujours trouvé qu'il était plus intéressant et plus facile d'apprendre directement avec un locuteur natif. I teach French at a language school in Tokyo and now want to teach on italki as well. I love languages and believe learning with a native speaker is the most effective. I look forward to helping you learn French! Mes leçons sont très flexibles et adaptées à chacun de mes élèves. J'essaie de m'ajuster au mieux à ce qu'ils souhaitent apprendre, ainsi qu'aux méthodes et outils qu'ils préfèrent utiliser. My lessons are very flexible and adapted to each student. I adjust to what they want to learn and to the methods and tools they prefer. We can use textbooks I provide, practice listening with audio or video materials, or focus on conversation.

Enseignante depuis 2023, spécialisée dans l'écriture créative en français et en anglais Bonjour, Bonjour, Le désir de rejoindre ITALKI me vient de l'expérience très positive d'une proche qui l'a rejoint il y a cela des années. Après des années accordées à l'écriture scénaristique pour différents médiums, je souhaite aujourd'hui faire profiter de cette expérience créative comme base pour l'apprentissage et le développement de la maîtrise du français. Cela mélange mes deux domaines d'expérience, la narration appliquée et l'enseignement. J'aime utiliser tout particulièrement les milieux artistiques du jeux vidéo et du cinéma, ou encore du manga et du webtoon pour les plus jeunes, ce qui rend la langue très accessible, souvent moins littéraire et donc plus proche de celle parlée. Je suis disponible tous les jours et à toute heure, par message ou en visio, afin d'offrir mes services. J'espère que nous apprendrons ensemble !

    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!

    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

    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
