I'm here on italki to teach french arabic and english, Arabic and french are the first and second languages in morocco so I'm native speaker,And the way I personally learned english was mostly through consuming content to improve my vocabulary and practice it at any given opportunity, that way I improved my pronunciation grammar etc etc... So my teaching on this wonderful platform would be the same easy going conversation focused style that helped me learn and become fluent in this languages in the first place.

🎓TEF, TCF, DELF, immigration, naturalisation (Canada, France) | 500+ students coached since 2016 Bonjour, hello, hola, buongiorno, привіт, नमस्ते , Guten Tag, 你好, привет! I help adults prepare for the TEF-TCF for Canadian and French immigration. Sound familiar? You've tried apps or conversation / group classes and hit a wall. Or maybe you already took a TEF-TCF test once and didn't score enough points. Either way, you've come to the right place! 🎓I am a certified French teacher that speaks 5+ languages, but I've also been in your shoes. I learned most of my languages on my own, from scratch, as an adult. I know what it's like learning fast, under pressure, in a new environment, with a real goal on the line - and my method reflects that. How I work: Focused, efficient approach I've built specifically for TEF-TCF, not general French (level test, live lessons, self-study prep roadmap, 5-day sprint - with real feedback). Pick the format that fits best. Most of my students start at A1 and reach B2 in 6-8 months, while working full-time or raising a family. 💡Sounding fluent or 'native' is about the right approach. I'll teach you strategic French so you can use it to your advantage, stop translating word by word, and gain clarity in speaking, listening and grammar - and ace your exams. ⚠️Confidentiality: I respect your privacy, lessons are never recorded. ⚠️I only take a limited number of students each week, to keep feedback personal. Book a class, a level test or a prep roadmap - and let's achieve your goal together! A bientôt in the classroom, Teacher Lola

Professeur certifiée en FLE avec dix ans d'expérience J’ai obtenu un master 2 en FLE (Français langue étrangère) à l’université de la Sorbonne en 2019 et je n’ai cessé d’enseigner depuis. Mon mémoire portait sur l’aspect biographique d’une langue ; en cela, au-delà de l’aspect communicatif d’une langue, je suis convaincue de l’importance de celle-ci dans la construction de notre identité. J’ai enseigné dans des contextes variés : associations, collèges et lycées, académies de langue, alliance française, centres civiques, cours particuliers. Ceux-ci m’ont amenée à me renouveler dans mes méthodes d’enseignement, chaque fois en fonction des besoins des apprenants, enfants comme adultes.

Professeur FLE avec 10 ans d'expérience réputé pour son empathie et sa patience. Bonjour Mon nom est Guillaume (William). J'ai fait des études de philosophie et de lettres modernes. Je vis actuellement en Thaïlande. Je suis passionné par les langues vivantes et j'en parle plusieurs : anglais, allemand, espagnol et thaï. J'apprends également le grec ancien. J'ai repris des études récemment ,afin de me spécialiser en Français Langue Etrangère (FLE). Il n'y a pas vraiment de demande içi en Thaïlande, mais les possibilités offertes par Internet et les réseaux modernes permettent aujourd'hui de diffuser la langue et la culture française dans le monde entier. Ma diction est lente et claire, ce qui me permet d'etre compris par mes interlocuteurs étrangers. Je maitrise la grammaire et la syntaxe. Je lis beaucoup, en français et en anglais. Je propose trois types de leçons : 1) Cours de conversation. En général je pose des questions sur des sujets généraux, propres à l'échange d'idées. Le but pour l'étudiant est de mettre des mots sur ses sentiments et émotions. L'étudiant peut également sélectionner un thème qui l'intéresse. Je joue un peu le rôle de life coach.. J'utilise souvent des documents pédagogiques : textes, courtes vidéos , images etc. 2) Français pour débutants complets ou faux-débutants. Méthode éprouvée pour vous lancer en français, à partir de documents PDF et autres sources. 3) Préparation pour entretiens d'embauche ,examens, devoirs et traductions.

Experienced young professional teacher with a master's in education Hey, bonjour ! I'm Tristan, from France! 🇫🇷 I graduated with a Masters degree in language teaching and learning design. I've taught in different countries and started as a university TE of French in Taiwan until I decided to stay and become a full-time language teacher. I'm passionate about education as a whole. I also love linguistics, languages, music (that I've been teaching for many years as well), video games, sciences, horror movies, politics and too many other things... I'm a bit nerdy, let's say! I'm also officially habilitated to correct and train DELF/DALF examinee! All I care about is: - Wellbeing - Efficiency - Confidence - Motivation. I won't force you to do something that you genuinely don't want to do like homework or writing tasks. I'm very patient and enthusiastic about my job and I'm a very curious person so I love to know about my student's hobbies and try to articulate lessons around them. I try to keep a relaxed atmosphere in class and I will always do my best to make you feel safe. I'm also very flexible with schedules and methods. Feel free to ask me if you need anything related to that! My preferred method is active learning. It's the most run-of-the-hill thing to say as a teacher but it's proven its efficacy countless times. A good teacher doesn't talk and explain non stop. They assist you, give you materials and guide you. I'm very comfortable with any websites or technologies to learn, etc. I can always use what you prefer.

French teacher with 3 years of experience (English or Spanish talker welcome) Hello ! My name is Fadil, I'm from France, and I have been teaching french for 3 years now. No matter what your level in french is, we can always do something together, as long as we can communicate, in English or in Spanish, it will be enough to learn and go forward with your practice. If you are looking to have a nice talk in french with a native speaker, you are at the right place. here I will teach you the way us, french people, talk and communicate. It wont be like in a notebook with absolute perfect sentence and words that no use today (majority of people do not say "je ne sais pas" but "je sais pas" (I don't know), this is somethings that shows instantly that you are not a native). We can talk in different ways, we can have a regular conversation to help you with your fluidity, or we can try different way by debating, or doing role play to practice specific things like conjugation or vocabulary on certain subject. We all have different goals, but I'm sure that as long as you practice with different people regularly, you will definitely progress. i love talking about any subject, my main ones would be movie, food and art. Of course i love to talk about cheese. I also love discovering new culture through exchange and talk, so if you feel the vibes feel free to reach me and we will do something together !

You can choose between structured classes and conversational ones. I am also open to your suggestions & requests- don't be shy if there's something specific you'd like to learn.

    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.

  • 杨雪微 Xuewei Yang

    Learning French

    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

    Learning French

    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.

Virginie has been pivotal to my improvement as she takes notes during our conversations, so that I know where I need to improve. I feel relaxed and encouraged in my lessons with Virginie.

    Gaëlle is an absolutely wonderful teacher! My 8-year-old daughter Margaret has only recently started learning French, and she already looks forward to every lesson. Gaëlle has a fantastic way of connecting with children. She is energetic, creative, patient, and makes learning feel like fun rather than schoolwork. They sing, laugh, play, and learn together, and Margaret genuinely enjoys every minute. As a parent, I couldn’t be happier. Finding a teacher who can inspire a child to love a new language is something special. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Gaëlle, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a wonderful French teacher!

    Learning French

    Johanna was really great, and I'm very excited to be on this journey with her. She really made me feel at ease, which is impressive because I'm naturally quite shy and also a perfectionist -- which makes speaking in a foreign language very difficult. My level is very mixed because my learning path hasn't been straightforward, and I've used many different methods; but Johanna was able to identify a plan that I believe will work well. I feel very confident that I'll be able to improve my speaking while also shoring up basic grammar structures. She exuded calm and is clearly very organised and experienced.

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
