Your Quebec French teacher, TEF/TCF instructor and your best friend and supporter :) 🌟 Québécois French, book club–style lessons, and Canadian immigration exam preparation 🌟 Bonjour et bienvenue! I am a native French teacher from Montreal, Canada, specializing in discussion-based lessons built around books, articles, podcasts, videos, and authentic French-language content. Many of my students improve their French through reading and conversation rather than textbook exercises. I offer book club–style lessons where we discuss novels, thrillers, memoirs, short stories, articles, films, and contemporary topics while naturally developing vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and speaking confidence. As a Québécoise, I also incorporate Québécois French and culture into my lessons while teaching standard French. I can help you improve your conversational skills, discover francophone culture, or prepare for Canadian immigration language exams. Depending on your interests, we might analyse an article, discuss a documentary, or explore a novel chapter together. I believe mistakes are an essential part of language learning, and I encourage students to speak naturally without fear of being judged. Spots are limited, so feel free to message me before booking. I look forward to working with you! 🌟 Please be aware that at this time, I am not accepting any new beginners.🌟

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!!

    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.

    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

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.
