Native French and International Certified Teacher with 14 years of Experience My teaching experiences started on 2010 when I was a mere English and French Student at the Prestigious Preparatory Schsool of Languages in Montfleury. I tried to diverse my experiences in teaching languages. Hence, my choice to lead a "Liguistic gypsy life" where I roamed from one country to another with one sole mission that consists of spreading French & Arabic languages across the world. These life-changing experiences forged my teaching capacities for exposed to different cultures with different learning and teaching traditions. It also nourished a perpetual love for teaching.

🎓TEF, TCF, DELF, immigration, naturalisation (Canada, France) | 500+ students coached since 2016 Bonjour, hello, hola, buongiorno, привіт, नमस्ते , Guten Tag, 你好, привет! I help adults prepare for the TEF-TCF for Canadian and French immigration. Sound familiar? You've tried apps or conversation / group classes and hit a wall. Or maybe you already took a TEF-TCF test once and didn't score enough points. Either way, you've come to the right place! 🎓I am a certified French teacher that speaks 5+ languages, but I've also been in your shoes. I learned most of my languages on my own, from scratch, as an adult. I know what it's like learning fast, under pressure, in a new environment, with a real goal on the line - and my method reflects that. How I work: Focused, efficient approach I've built specifically for TEF-TCF, not general French (level test, live lessons, self-study prep roadmap, 5-day sprint - with real feedback). Pick the format that fits best. Most of my students start at A1 and reach B2 in 6-8 months, while working full-time or raising a family. 💡Sounding fluent or 'native' is about the right approach. I'll teach you strategic French so you can use it to your advantage, stop translating word by word, and gain clarity in speaking, listening and grammar - and ace your exams. ⚠️Confidentiality: I respect your privacy, lessons are never recorded. ⚠️I only take a limited number of students each week, to keep feedback personal. Book a class, a level test or a prep roadmap - and let's achieve your goal together! A bientôt in the classroom, Teacher Lola

  • 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!

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 !!!

  • Junko Asakura

    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

Can I take the TEF exam online?

Yes, you can take the TEF exam online. The official TEF website offers an online version of the exam, which is just as reliable and valid as the in-person version. The online TEF allows you to take the exam remotely, with the same sections (listening, reading, writing, and speaking) as the in-person exam. Be sure to check the specific requirements for the version of the TEF you need (e.g., TEF Canada, TEF for studies, or TEF for naturalization) and confirm the technical requirements for taking the exam online. Your italki tutor can help guide you in preparing for the online exam format.

What are the benefits of preparing for the TEF exam with an italki tutor?

Preparing for the TEF exam with an italki tutor offers personalized lessons tailored to your specific needs, focusing on areas that require improvement. Tutors provide targeted exercises, practice tests, and exam strategies, helping you become familiar with the test format and time constraints. With flexible scheduling, you can learn at your own pace, while receiving real-time feedback to improve quickly. Additionally, tutors help you refine your speaking skills, which are often challenging for many students, making it easier to perform confidently during the exam. Overall, italki offers expert guidance to ensure you’re well-prepared for success.

Can I get help with TEF exam strategies and time management?

Yes, you can get help with TEF exam strategies and time management from your italki tutor. Tutors can provide tips and techniques to approach each section of the exam efficiently, helping you manage your time effectively during the test. They will guide you on how to prioritize questions, pace yourself, and tackle the most challenging parts, ensuring that you complete all sections within the allotted time. By practicing under timed conditions and receiving feedback on your performance, you’ll improve your ability to stay calm and organized on exam day.

What are the passing scores for the TEF exam?

The passing scores for the TEF exam depend on the specific version of the test and the requirements of the institution or organization you are applying to. For example, if you’re taking the TEF Canada for immigration, the Canadian government requires a minimum score of CLB 7 (Canadian Language Benchmark) for certain visa categories, though higher scores may be needed for others. For university admission or naturalization purposes, each institution or government body may have its own score requirements, typically ranging from B1 to C1 level on the CEFR scale. It’s important to check the specific requirements for your intended purpose and work with your tutor to target the appropriate score.

Do I need to take all four parts of the TEF exam?

Whether you need to take all four parts of the TEF exam depends on your specific goals. The TEF exam consists of listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections, but some institutions or organizations may only require certain parts of the test. For example, if you’re applying for immigration to Canada or university admission, you may only need to take the listening, reading, and writing sections. However, if you’re applying for citizenship or seeking a professional qualification, the speaking section may also be required. Discuss your requirements with your tutor to focus on the sections you need for your specific situation.
