Bonjour! Hi! 안녕하세요! Hola! Speak French with confidence in real-life situations. I’m a native French teacher from Québec, helping adult learners progress efficiently. As a Korean learner myself, I understand your challenges. My approach is friendly, authentic, and flexible—I adapt to your goals, needs, and learning style. My lessons are dynamic, supportive, and focused on real communication. You’ll speak from day one, build confidence, and improve with practical tools you can use right away. Let’s reach your goals together! After working in various fields—communications, project management, tourism, healthcare, and more—I returned to school to earn a certificate in Teaching French as a Second Language. I now teach French full-time to adult learners and truly love this career. My students describe me as a passionate and dynamic teacher—organized, authentic, and open-minded. I create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable speaking, asking questions, and making mistakes. I easily adapt to different goals, needs, and learning styles, and my sense of humor helps make lessons enjoyable, motivating, and engaging. Whether you’re learning French for fun, as a personal challenge, for professional development, or for travel, I can help you reach your goals. My lessons focus on real-life communication, while also developing vocabulary, pronunciation, and the grammar needed to build confidence and independence.

Julie was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable. I love that she created a Google Document so I could review what we worked on today. I'm booking more lessons now. Thank you, Julie!!!

Julie was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive throughout the session. She created a comfortable learning environment for a scared beginner. I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with her and progressing further.

Julie took the time to understand my goals and asses my level with my first trail class so that I have a starting point to reach my goals. She recommended materials to me and I have a plan to continue with those before our next session!

I found Julie Ruest to be easy to communicate, and get along with. Her guidance was clear, and after just half an hour I was equipped with insight into what I can focus on, and tools that will help me leap ahead with my learning goals. She is amazing, I wish I could afford to see her everyday!

My intro class with Julie was my first on italki and it was a wonderful experience. She understood my level of French quickly, adapted her lesson to it, and laid out a plan for future learning. She's also very friendly and funny!
