Amine Idrissi

Amine is not your typical language teacher. He leverages your understanding of your own language to help you master the language you want to learn. Honestly, I feel like I could teach English after studying French with him. If you're interested in going deep into the mechanics of grammar, he is the teacher you want.

I’m really happy I found Amine because he's definitely a valuable asset. I started with a very chaotic basic knowledge of French from high school, and he was skilled at assessing my grasp of the language and creating personalized lessons. He excels at explaining language and structure, ensuring your complete understanding. Thanks to him, I now listen to French radio and recognize the subtleties of phonetics. Also, his knowledge of other Romance languages helps a lot. I speak Romanian and also learned Spanish, so he takes notions from those languages that apply to French to help me understand better. He has a great teaching method, is very good at explaining complex grammar structures, and has an answer to everything—even for the colloquial expressions you hear in movies. I highly recommend Amine to anyone who wants to learn the language, even if you’re a beginner. He is very easy to talk to and patient enough to explain things until I learn them entirely.

For years, I've struggled with making progress learning French as a second language. I tried different strategies, usually 'aggressive'. At one point even moving to France to take immersion classes. The lessons with Armine have been the first time that I've ever had measurable (and motivating) progress. This is in part due to his catering the course plan based on the skills I already posses combined with the one on one nature of the lessons. Giving us the time to move at the pace I'm able to as an adult learner with a job and rent etc. But a large part of the success of our lessons I think has been Amine's love of language itself. His passion for translation and the joy of words is infectious. Rather than thinking of learning French as a 'chore to be complete', for the first time in my life, I'm enjoying the process of learning and exploring the language. This feels more sustainable than the all or nothing approaches I would take before, and I have Amine to thank for that.

I've been learning French with Amine on iTalki for the past few months, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Amine is an incredibly patient, enthusiastic, and skilled teacher who tailors each lesson to suit my learning goals. His ability to make complex grammar concepts easy to understand has significantly boosted my confidence in speaking and understanding French. Each lesson is engaging, whether we’re working on conversation practice, grammar exercises, or cultural insights, which Amine always adds to keep things interesting. I especially appreciate how he adapts his teaching style to match my progress and interests, making learning enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend Amine to anyone looking to improve their French skills on iTalki!

amazing class today with a lot of opportunities to ask questions, to speak about certain topics, very professional and helpful for me to improve my skills in French.

I’ve been taking weekly French classes with Amine for a few years now and he is one of the best language teacher I’ve met on iTalki! He’s super knowledgable and passionate about languages. Amine’s patient, organized and reliable. I appreciate the structure his classes provide and I’ve always enjoyed our lessons together. He has set a high bar for my expectations in language teachers and I hope I could find a teacher like Amine in other languages I decide to learn.
