📚All Levels A1-C2|🗣️ Specialized in Phonetics|🥇Certified examiner for all Exams|Confidence 100% You've studied French for years and you still freeze when someone speaks to you. That's not a talent problem but a method problem, I fix that. I'm a phonetics specialist and a certified examiner for every official French exam. I work exclusively with adults, and I hear the same story daily: years of classes, notebooks full of conjugation tables, and still that blank moment when a French person opens their mouth. I know it from the inside as I've learned several languages myself. 📊 6600+ lessons · 90% pass rate · 70% of my students prepare an official exam. Adults only, I don't teach children or teenagers. 🙂 🗣️ We start with sound. French doesn't sound the way it looks: liaisons swallow words, syllables disappear, the rhythm falls at the end of the group. We work on the vowels that don't exist in your language (dessus/dessous, poisson/poison), on intonation and liaisons until people stop asking you to repeat. 🥇 Exam preparation: DELF · DALF · TCF · TCF Canada · TEF Canada. As an examiner, I know what the grids reward and where candidates lose points: diagnostic, format drills, point-saving strategies, mock exams corrected with the official grid and a realistic answer to "how many weeks do I need?" 💬 General French: no vocabulary lists, no grammar for its own sake. You speak from lesson one and build week by week — renting a flat, appointments, meetings, admin calls. Book a trial lesson: tell me your goal, and I'll tell you how to get there!

TEF/TCF Expert | Bilingual French Teacher | 22+ Years of Experience | Speak French with Confidence Hi! I'm a native French teacher from France who has lived in five countries, including 15 years in bilingual Canada. As a Canadian citizen, I am fully bilingual in French and English and bring more than 22 years of teaching experience to my lessons. I hold a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language (FLE) Didactics and a Master's degree in TESOL. My approach combines linguistic expertise, practical communication and an understanding of how people learn languages. Whether you want to build strong foundations in French, prepare strategically for the TEF, TCF or another official exam, communicate confidently in your professional environment, or simply keep your French alive, I design a learning experience around your goals, level and way of learning. My approach is simple: French should not remain theoretical — it should become something you can actually use. Rather than relying on passive learning, I combine structured progression with authentic materials, meaningful communication and real-life situations. You will understand how French works, expand your vocabulary and, above all, learn to use what you know naturally and confidently. My role is not simply to teach you French, but to identify what is holding you back, help you develop the right strategies and turn your knowledge into practical skills. If you are serious about making measurable progress, I'll provide the structure, expertise and feedback to help you get there.

High-quality lessons with a qualified, bilingual instructor 🇫🇷🇺🇸 🙋 Bonjour et bienvenue ! 🏠 I'm Adrien, a native French speaker, and professional language instructor from Toulouse, France. I've been teaching foreign languages since 2012. ✨ Open-minded, patient, thorough and generous with my time. Expect clear guidance, steady support, and a laugh or two along the way! 🎓 I studied language learning, literature, psychology, and cinema in France (Toulouse and Paris), in the UK (Reading), and taught French in the US (Missoula, MT). 💯 As a language learner myself, I'll share with you lots of practical tips and strategies to make language learning as natural and effective as possible. 🎭 Fun fact about me : my passion for languages began in high school, when our English teacher staged "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Although my performance as Puck was, at best, forgettable, the experience - the friendships, our teacher's hard work and creativity - still inspire me today. 🧠 Do you have a specific request? I welcome new challenges! Feel free to ask. 🙅‍♂️ Please note that I only work with adult learners. ☑️ Upbeat and conversational lessons, because grammar rules stick better when we're having fun! ☑️ Hand-picked, engaging resources, tailored to you. ☑️ You're in control! Your goals and preferences shape the lessons. We work on the skills that matter most to you. ☑️ Comprehensive follow-up. After each lesson you get detailed PDF notes, an MP3 recording for pronunciation and listening practice, and personalized homework!

  • 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!!

  • Giovana Coelho

    Antoine helped me prepare for the TCF every lesson. Although I was on a time crunch I was able to practice for multiple topics with him. He’s very patient and informative. I would recommend him to everyone who wishes to improve their french or practice for an exam!!

    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.

    Learning French

    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

    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!

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 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.
