Certified and professional teacher since 1999. Worked in languages & Business schools, Universities. As a teacher, when a student speaks, I could summarize my approach as both friendly and firm listening. Friendly because I listen attentively, empathetically, and respectfully (I don't cut them off, I note errors or other appropriate wording in the chat). At the same time, I analyze all the mistakes I hear, whatever their nature, in order to ask for clarifications, correct them, and then propose an alternative. For students who want to improve their writing skills, I aim to bring out the unique writing style of each student by focusing on vocabulary, syntax, verb tense and mood, sentence structure, and grammar while providing timely input on approach and articulation.

Speak more. Progress faster. | 18 years' experience | 5000+ lessons taught Looking for structured, engaging French lessons that TRULY get you talking? With 18 years' experience and a Master's in French Language & Literature, I help adults speak confidently — whether you're preparing for the DELF (A1–B2), living in a French-speaking country, or just want to chat with ease. My flipped-classroom approach makes every lesson count: reading, listening, and grammar are prepared at home, so class time focuses on active speaking — role plays, debates, pronunciation, oral grammar, and practical conversation tasks. You'll also get regular tests and personalized feedback along the way. I use varied, regularly updated materials — conversation packs, grammar and vocabulary sheets, articles, videos, games, and quizzes. All topics are welcome, deep or lighthearted, serious or absurd. I've taught learners of all ages and levels in schools, language centers, a primary school, and the Canadian Embassy, and I've also worked as a literary translator. Patient, thoroughly prepared, and dynamic, I create a warm space where mistakes are simply part of the process. Fair warning: I may get unreasonably excited about a great conversation topic! 🙂 When I'm not teaching, I'm hiking, chasing clouds with my son, or freestyle dancing. Genuine connection matters deeply to me, both in class and beyond. 👉 C'est parti! Book a lesson or send me a message. Adults only.

Certified French teacher with a Master's degree and more than 10 years of experience. I've been teaching languages for more than 10 years. I fell in love with teaching when I was working as a language assistant in a boarding school in England. I went there after I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in English. When I came back to France, I went back to college and graduated with a Master's degree in Foreign Languages Didactics. I worked in France mainly with adults and teenagers over 15 years old. I also worked in the Alliance Française in Sydney and Melbourne while I was in Australia. I've taught people of all level and background. I also have extensive knowledge on the DELF/DALF exam as well as the TCF exam.

I strive to create a friendly and supportive learning environment by adapting my lessons to each student’s needs. I see my role as guiding students in their learning and encouraging their curiosity, rather than simply transmitting information. To make lessons motivating and effective, I believe teachers need to be creative and use authentic, relevant materials that reflect students’ lives and interests.

Qualified & experienced French teacher - 14 years of experience - DELF / DALF / TEF / TCF examiner Qualified and experienced French teacher with 14 years of experience in Scotland and France including 8 years online. I own a Master's degree in History (1st), a French as a foreign language teaching degree (DAEFLE) and I am an accredited DELF-DALF, TEF and TCF examiner. I love sports (fitness, jiu-jitsu and beach volley), dancing (latin dances), traveling, foreign languages and meeting people from all around the world! I am passionate about my job and have been developing my teaching material for 10 years now. I love using a wide array of documents and strive to help my students improve the best as possible. I am a very sporty person and my classes are therefore also very dynamic. I have a master's degree in history and am a huge fan of foreign languages and cultures so will be very happy to explain to you aspects of contemporary France. My lessons are fun and efficient, my students have a good time but achieve their goals in a timely and productive manner as well. Classes focus on the student's ability to complete real-life tasks (talking about your family / holidays, writing a cv / essay, go for shopping / ask or give directions etc). The grammar always comes second never first, because you learn by using the language to complete every day tasks, not by conjugating verbs without aim.

  • 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!

    Benjamin helped me so much in improving my French abilities. I remember I could barely speak in French but after 8 months, I was able to achieve B2 in TCF on first try. His advice on the exams really helped. Highly recommend!!

    An excellent lesson with Manon. Her teaching methods help me build vocabulary in French and she helps make my French sound more natural with exercises and discussions. I feel my French getting better with each lesson. Amazing teacher ! I will keep getting lessons with her. She’s great ! Merci beaucoup Manon !

    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.

  • Gabriel

    Learning French

    Well, that's my last review here. I got NCLC7 Expression Orale and NCLC9 EE in my FIRST TEF. This is definitely due to following Youcef's lessons with discipline. If I could give anyone a single advice onto how to get this score, it would be: do not go any farther over Italki searching for a teacher. Start your lessons with Youcef today and stick to the plan, trust the process. Have discipline and study with him. Studying with him is having a friend who really cares about your success and knows everything about the french exams; not only a teacher who corrects mistakes. As I scheduled this last lesson, I only had one objective, and I did it: I taught this phrase my wife and we said together : Merci beaucoup, Youcef !!!

    Learning French

    She is the best for both the General French and the DELF preparation! As for the General French, over 4 years my learning experience has evolved thanks to her approach to tailor the lessons. I learn French for a professional objective, and my situation has changed: the language level, the responsibilities on the job, and the context of the work. Accordingly, she has constantly adapted materials and methods. That has developed my skill in an organic way. In terms of DELF preparation, she guided me step by step. At the beginning, DELF felt daunting. She began with basics but the guidance did not limit to them: from the grammar to the quality of arguments, from required vocabulary to nuances and precision, from pointing out recurring errors to identifying the areas to develop. By the day of the test, the fear had transformed to confidence. She walked me through the learning journey with a strong engagement and encouragement. That motivated me and consolidated my French. Thank you Jade!

Frequently asked questions

What DELF levels can I prepare for on italki?

On italki, you can prepare for all DELF levels, including A1, A2, B1, and B2. Whether you’re a beginner just starting your French journey or looking to refine your advanced skills, our experienced tutors can tailor lessons to your specific needs. For the A1 and A2 levels, the focus will be on building basic vocabulary, mastering simple sentence structures, and practicing essential listening and speaking skills. As you progress to B1 and B2, lessons become more focused on complex grammar, improving fluency, and tackling the exam’s reading and writing sections. Tutors offer practice with past DELF exam papers and mock tests, ensuring you’re fully prepared for the specific challenges each level presents. With flexible lesson plans and expert guidance, italki provides the support you need to succeed at your chosen DELF level.

How long should I study for the DELF exam?

The amount of time needed to study for the DELF exam depends on your current French proficiency and the level you’re aiming for. Generally, beginners at the A1 level may need 2-3 months of consistent study, while learners at A2 or B1 might require 3-6 months to feel fully prepared. Advanced students aiming for B2 may need around 6 months of focused preparation. Italki tutors can help create a personalized study plan based on your level, goals, and available study time. Regular lessons, practice tests, and consistent review of vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills will ensure you’re ready to pass with confidence.

What materials are used in DELF preparation lessons?

In DELF preparation lessons on italki, tutors use a variety of materials to cover all aspects of the exam. These include past DELF exam papers to familiarize you with the test format and types of questions. Tutors may also use grammar books and textbooks specifically designed for DELF preparation to strengthen your language skills. Listening exercises, video clips, and audio recordings help improve your comprehension skills for the listening section. For speaking practice, tutors use role-plays, conversational exercises, and interactive activities to build fluency. Additionally, reading passages, writing prompts, and vocabulary lists are incorporated to help you excel in all four exam areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Tailored materials and focused practice ensure you’re fully prepared for the exam.

Can lessons be conducted in English if I’m a beginner?

Yes, lessons can be conducted in English if you’re a beginner. Many italki tutors use English to explain key concepts, vocabulary, and grammar to help you understand the basics of French. This approach is particularly helpful for beginners who need clear explanations and support in their native language while they get comfortable with the language.
