English Conversation, vocabulary and grammar!! Akan twi from scratch!! Book a trial lesson!! I generally like to work with a structured plan but in as much as the goal is to obtain the desired results, I am aware that if lessons are not relatable, personalised and self-expressed then the overall goal of learning the language will not be met. I also understand that as a Teacher sometimes, its important to go with the flow or adjust the tempo to enable good learning.

Speak Like a Parisian 🇫🇷 | Accent & Conversation 🎨📷 | Relaxed Learning — Beginners Welcome Hello! 👋 I’m Maya, a French-Tunisian artist and tutor, a native French speaker with a “neutral” accent, often called the Parisian accent. I split my time between France, Tunisia and the United Kingdom 🇫🇷🇹🇳🇬🇧.

My approach is conversational, personalized, and cultural: I use art, videos and music to create lessons tailored to real-life situations.

Polyglot & linguist passionate about language learning Hi, I'm Elina, a polyglot & linguist fluent in 5 languages. I'm here to help you learn a language efficiently from day 1! My two mother tongues are German and Russian, I have a master's degree in foreign language linguistics with a specialisation in French and English and experience in academic teaching and I learned Italian on my own. I have many interests which I'm happy to share with you and am keen on learning new things, so feel free to talk about whatever you're most passionate about! I believe that a language is learned through speaking and through the right kind of authentic input. We'll be speaking in your target language from day 1, starting with simple conversations and slowly building your vocabulary and grammar knowledge. I'll also motivate you and help you improve your language self-study, so you'll be able to find the right kind of material and input that will benefit you the most. If your mother tongue is one of my 5 languages, as a linguist I'll be able to make an error analysis and explain why you make certain mistakes and how to correct them. Most importantly: language learning is fun! so we'll explore different topics and materials depending on your goals. In our lessons we'll focus on speaking and will build vocabulary and grammar along the way. I explain grammar clearly and like to put it into practice immediately. I'll also share tips and tricks from my own language learning journey and encourage you to explore what works best for you.

Tuteur sur Italki -Langue Maternelle Française Thérèse est un simple tuteur, je connais bien le Français, mais je ne suis pas une enseignante. Nos conversation avec l'élève se basent sur leur niveau oral, nous parlons cuisine, voyages, actualité internationales, livres lus par l'élève, souvent je fais des recherches sur Internet lorsque mes élèves butent sur les mots ou sur les angliscismes je fais repeter souvent les mots mal dits et les liaisons qui sont importantes en Français. C'est l'élève qui décide ou en accord, ce que nous allons converser le jour de notre leçon, tout dépend aussi du temps, si c'est une demie-heure, nous pouvons faire une conversation libre, une heure, nous pouvons travailler un texte, le lire, le commenter.

Speak French with confidence in a relaxed and supportive environment 🇫🇷💪 👋 Hi there! I’m Boris. I’m Belgian 🇧🇪 with Lebanese 🇱🇧 and Polish 🇵🇱 roots. I’ve lived in seven different countries 🌍 and speak eight languages (maybe yours too 🙂). I’m passionate about traveling ✈️ and discovering new cultures 🕌🎎, and I figured that becoming a French teacher 🇫🇷 was the perfect way to meet people from all over the world 🤝! I’m a big fan of sports ⚽🏋️‍♂️, literature 📚, board games 🎲, and especially good food 🍝🍰! I’d love to swap delicious recipes with you 😋🍳😉 After completing my studies in Literature and Modern Languages, I decided to focus on my true passion — the French language. I built my professional experience in writing, translation, and copywriting, before switching to teaching. Later, I passed a certifwith the Alliance Française, where I learned effective methods for teaching French to beginners. I started giving lessons to non-French speakers in Brussels in 2024, including new arrivals and employees of international institutions. I decided to bring my teaching online to connect with students from all over the world and to help them discover the richness of the French and culture, while adapting each lesson to goals and interests 💬✨.

An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.

So I'll be delighted to learn more about your culture, as well as telling you more about mine during our language classes 😉 🌱 🌿 🌳 ~ My background ~ I used to be a lawyer specializing in environmental and urban planning law.

Learn to speak French the way Parisians actually do — naturally, confidently, without sounding like I'm Ana — a French actress and voice artist, born in Paris, raised in Normandy. I trained at the Sorbonne (Arts degree) and spent six years building my acting career in London before moving to central Italy. Languages and how people use them are at the heart of everything I do professionally. My lessons are conversations, not classes. No homework, no grammar drills, no lesson plans. Just real French — adapted to you, your level, and what you actually need to say. I correct every mistake in the chat as we go, bring vocabulary in naturally, and make sure you leave each session with something useful. I work with all levels, from complete beginners to advanced speakers. Whether you've never said a word of French or you just want to stop sounding like a textbook — we'll find a way to make it click for you. What makes my lessons different: - Native Parisian French with professional vocal training - 2000+ lessons of real conversation experience - Flexible topics built around your life, not a curriculum - Corrections in real time, never judgmental Trial lessons available.

**Please do not book two lessons in a row or the same day** Bonjour! I’m Mathilde, a French native speaker and a language addict with a deep passion for helping others unlock the beauty of French.✨ Over the past three years, I’ve had the joy of guiding friends and learners in mastering French, English, and even Mandarin—sharing not just grammar rules but the cultural nuances that make languages come alive. My own journey as a self-taught learner (Mandarin, Japanese, and now Korean!) has given me firsthand insight into the challenges students face—from tricky pronunciation to staying motivated. That’s why I love turning lessons into engaging, personalized experiences: think real-world conversations, playful challenges, and topics you care about! I am very patient and encouraging and I love listening to other people's experiences. I want to present my students with new ways to organize their language learning with accessible and varied resources which will make learning French feel like a game! I belive conversation and speaking practice is one of the most important aspects of language learning while being also one of the most challenging skill to master and practice. My classes will be oriented on topics in which the student has a keen interest in to help them build strong active and passive vocabulary. By doing so, students will quickly be able to engage in more complex discussions and consume native-level media of their choice!

Professeure de français et de littérature pour adultes et enfants, débutants et confirmés. Originaire de Normandie, j'ai suivi des études supérieures en littérature française (spécialisation XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles) à la Sorbonne, complétées par un master en Français Langue Étrangère (FLE). Cavalière depuis l'enfance, j'aime le sport et les grands espaces. Mon parcours académique rigoureux s'enrichit d'une expérience internationale, avec un vif intérêt pour les voyages, reflétant mon engagement envers l'éducation et l'échange interculturel. J'ai toujours aimé transmettre mes passions et j'enseigne maintenant professionnellement depuis plus de 10 ans. J'ai enseigné en France dans le milieu associatif, dans des quartiers défavorisés pour un public d'enfants en difficulté, dans des écoles et collèges privés et public en tant que professeure de littérature et de langue française, en Angleterre dans des écoles et pour des cours particuliers, et bien sûr depuis plusieurs années, à compte et en ligne. En résumé, j'ai de l'expérience avec des élèves de tous les âges, de toutes les nationalités et de tous les niveaux! L'ingrédient principal de mes leçons est une attitude positive ! On ne peut selon moi apprendre que dans le plaisir, fût-il plaisir de l'effort. Mes cours sont entièrement personnalisés pour répondre aux besoins de mes élèves, un voyage en France, un nouveau travail dans une entreprise francophone, ou simplement le plaisir d'apprendre. Je propose également des cours de groupe, espaces d'échange et de partage autour de la lecture et la littérature.

    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

    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.

    I look forward to lessons with Virginie each week. We have fun and real conversations, and I can’t believe I’m able to converse so well and am able to express myself in another language. 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. Virginie is a fabulous teacher that I highly recommend!

    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!

    I have been taking lessons with Soulaimane for several months now, and I can clearly see the progress I have made. He has helped me improve my language skills, become more confident, and especially speak more naturally and fluently. His lessons are always enjoyable, well-structured, and adapted to my needs. He creates a comfortable environment where I can speak freely, practice, and learn from my mistakes. I highly recommend Soulaimane to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills and gain confidence in the language. Thank you, Soulaimane, for your patience, support, and dedication.

    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
