Certified French Teacher (Master’s Degree & DALF C2) |4+ Years Experience | TEF & Canada Preparation Hello! My name is Zakaria, I’m 28 years old and I’m from Oran, Algeria 🇩🇿. I hold a Master’s degree in French Language and Culture and a DALF C2 diploma. French and Arabic are my mother tongues, and I also speak English, which allows me to teach beginners comfortably. I’m passionate about arts, literature and graphic novels, and I’m a big fan of video games, cosplay and manga (TEAM One Piece 👒). I genuinely enjoy talking to people, discovering new cultures, and sharing knowledge in a relaxed and friendly environment. I have been teaching French on italki since October 2020, working with students worldwide. I specialize in communication and spoken French, adapting lessons to your level and goals—conversation, exams, or professional French. I teach in English or French, creating flexible, interactive, and engaging lessons. My aim is to help you feel confident, motivated, and comfortable, using your interests as conversation topics to make learning enjoyable. I encourage students to speak as much French as possible, while using English when necessary for clarification. Lessons are adapted to your level, age, and goals. I use trusted textbooks like Édito as well as interactive materials such as videos and multimedia resources. Whether you want to improve conversation, grammar, pronunciation, exam preparation (TEF/DELF/DALF), or professional French, I create a personalized plan to help you progress efficiently. My goal is simple: help you speak French with confidence.

Zak is a wonderful teacher and a very kind person. I am very happy to have found him. The material he uses for the structured lessons are great! He is well prepared for every lesson and teaches a good balance of grammar, vocabulary, written and oral comprehension as well as speaking and writing. He gives homework to practice what we learnt in between lessons. He is extremely knowledgable and has a great way of explaining things. I feel my French progressing with him and he is very encouraging. I highly recommend him!

Zakaria is always calm and patient. He is an exceptional teacher who teaches with warmth, kindness, and great sensitivity. I’m probably not the most diligent student. I don’t always prepare for or review my lessons as seriously as I should. At the moment, his lessons are my only real opportunity to stay connected with the French language. I also truly enjoy our conversations, and that makes learning French with him something I always look forward to. I’ll keep doing my best so that I can continue learning and improving with his guidance. Thank you so much, Zakaria. I’m truly grateful for your lessons.

Zak is a great teacher! In lessons, he strikes an appropriate balance between getting the student to express themselves in the target language as much as possible while also ensuring that he provides scaffolding/support where required so as to build confidence. He is also very friendly and personable. I highly recommend lessons with Zak 👍

Zakaria is, of course, an excellent teacher, but even before that, he is simply a wonderful person. I don't actually need to speak French in my daily life, so maintaining my motivation to keep studying can be very difficult. And yet, I continue to take his lessons early in the morning—even on my days off! I think that fact alone says a lot about how much I enjoy and value his lessons. He gives me a reason to keep learning French, even when my motivation isn't always there. Thank you so much, Zakaria, for your wonderful lessons and for helping me continue this journey!
