    Madame Cécile is still my favorite tutor! She is patient, professional, and always attentive to my needs. I really appreciated her support and guidance while preparing for the DELF B1 exam. After passing the B1 exam, I naturally decided to continue learning with her to prepare for the DELF B2, particularly the speaking section. I highly recommend her lessons!

    Manon is a wonderful teacher! Her lessons are always interesting, enjoyable, and well-prepared. We've been studying together for over six months, and I can really see how much I've improved. I started with almost no French, and now I can actually have conversations, which feels amazing :) We spend a lot of time speaking during our lessons, and Manon always brings interesting topics, texts, and activities to discuss. She creates a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where it's easy to practice and learn without feeling nervous about making mistakes. I always look forward to our lessons and would happily recommend Manon to anyone who wants to learn French!

    J’ai beaucoup aimé les cours! Arris est très communicatif, patient et prend toujours le temps d’apporter des explications supplémentaires quand c’est nécessaire. Les cours sont bien organisés et très professionnels, tout en se déroulant dans une atmosphère détendue et agréable. Je me suis notamment préparée avec lui pour le DALF C1, en particulier pour la production orale. Même si j’étais au début un peu stressée ou hésitante à l’idée de prendre la parole, je me suis toujours sentie à l’aise pendant les cours. Merci beaucoup à lui <3

    I've had the pleasure of learning French with Maïli for a few lessons now and cannot recommend her enough. Somehow, she strikes just the right balance between letting me ramble on in French and jumping in to correct common mistakes and words that she notices I struggle with. Her style of teaching is great for both building confidence and learning the particularities of the language simultaneously, and I've certainly noticed my French really improve since we started lessons. On top of that she's always friendly and enthusiastic to teach, and always has a nice idiom for any occasion --- very effective for making one's French a little more natural!

    Romain is a phenomenal teacher! He’s kind, engaging, and an exceptional conversationalist. I love the balance between structure and flexibility in his lessons. The materials cover diverse topics while leaving room for spontaneous conversations. As someone who asks tons of questions, I appreciate how clearly and patiently he explains things! Since I speak Portuguese and English, connecting French to Portuguese makes a huge difference. Concepts I was trying to learn for months, Romain explained them in less than four minutes! Beyond French, his extensive knowledge makes conversations profoundly enriching. I feel like I’m learning about life, culture, and different perspectives, not just a language. I also appreciate his approach to corrections: he gives room to find your own words and build confidence. After just a couple of lessons, I feel like I’ve progressed beyond what I could’ve imagined! I leave every lesson feeling fulfilled and accomplished. I can’t recommend him enough!! 😊

    Josie is amazing! I really wanted to improve my conversational skills, and I chose her because she seemed dynamic and fun in her video. I’m now more than 20 lessons in and I can definitely confirm that she is not only engaging and easy to talk to, but also incredibly diligent, energetic, smart, thoughtful and hilarious. I expected that we would simply chat in French for an hour each week, and we definitely do that, which has improved my speaking ability immensely. But Josie also goes out of her way to make her lessons as comprehensive and personalized as possible. I moved to France a year and a half ago, and she has been very thoughtful about structuring lessons that will help me to navigate daily life in France and give me exposure to important cultural references. She also tries to make my French less formal and textbook, and more colloquial and natural, which I appreciate immensely. In short, she’s pretty much the idea French teacher!

    Incroyable tuteur ! M. Balradje partage son écran en temps réel et envoi le document Word après le cours. Son programme est structuré et sur-mesure. On travaille sur des thèmes précis (comme l'environnement) à travers toutes les compétences : vocabulaire, prononciation, Audio/vidéo à regarder puis réponses aux questions, écriture, grammaire… En plus de débats et jeux de rôle en situation réelle. Il est très patient et respectueux.

Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent travail et votre soutien constant !

    Learning French

    I came to Lenaïg with the goal of progressing my French skills from near zero to B1. After 4 sessions I am feeling incredibly confident that I will be able to reach my goal with her help, if I am willing to dedicate the time and effort. I have an anxiety streak, especially around learning new things with an audience but her approach has made this very easy for me. Our sessions feel less like a formal instructor and more like a conversation with a friend. Lenaïg's English is incredibly clear. If you are considering her as an instructor and are coming from a native English background, don't hesitate to book a lesson.

    During the lessons, I discussed a lot of TCF speaking topics with Rim, for example, environmental issues and health topics. I learned how to organize my speech and how to speak more fluently in French. Also, Rim encouraged me to think of different angles for each topic. She definitely helped me a lot in preparing for the exam.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TELC exam, and why should I take it?

The TELC (The European Language Certificates) exam is an internationally recognized test that assesses proficiency in various European languages, including French. Offered at levels A1 to C2, the TELC exam evaluates your skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). It is widely recognized across Europe by employers, educational institutions, and government agencies, making it a valuable credential for anyone looking to work, study, or live in a French-speaking country.

Taking the TELC exam can benefit job seekers who need proof of language ability for professional roles, students applying to universities, or individuals applying for residency or citizenship. The certification can enhance your resume and demonstrate your commitment to achieving fluency in French. With a TELC certificate, you can more confidently navigate professional or academic settings, knowing your language skills meet recognized European standards.

What TELC levels can I prepare for with an italki tutor?

With an italki tutor, you can prepare for all TELC levels, from A1 to C2. Each level corresponds to a different stage of language proficiency: A1 and A2 cover beginner skills, focusing on foundational vocabulary, simple phrases, and basic conversational abilities. At the intermediate levels, B1 and B2, tutors help you develop more complex sentence structures, improve fluency, and understand a wider range of everyday topics. For advanced learners, C1 and C2 levels emphasize mastery in reading, writing, and speaking, preparing you to use French confidently in professional, academic, or social settings. Italki tutors provide tailored lessons based on your target level, using practice exercises, past TELC exam materials, and personalized feedback to strengthen your skills and prepare you for success at any TELC level.

What materials will my tutor use to prepare me for the TELC exam?

To prepare for the TELC exam, your tutor will use a variety of materials designed to cover all aspects of the test. These typically include past TELC exam papers and practice tests, which familiarize you with the exam format and help you understand the types of questions you’ll encounter. Your tutor may also use textbooks and grammar workbooks that align with the TELC levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2), providing exercises to improve your language skills. Additionally, listening exercises, reading comprehension passages, and writing prompts will help you build proficiency in the four key areas: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Tutors may also incorporate online resources, vocabulary lists, and interactive activities tailored to your level. By using a combination of authentic exam materials and personalized instruction, your tutor ensures you’re fully prepared for the TELC 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 tutors on italki are experienced in helping students who are new to French, and they use English to explain grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation concepts clearly. This can make it easier for beginners to understand the basics and feel comfortable as they start learning. As your skills improve, your tutor will gradually incorporate more French into lessons to help you immerse in the language and practice actively. This transition allows you to build confidence while working toward full comprehension in French.

How long should I study for the TELC exam?

The amount of study time needed for the TELC exam depends on your current proficiency level and the level you aim to achieve (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2). Generally, for beginners preparing for A1 or A2, around 2-3 months of consistent study with a tutor can be effective. Intermediate levels, such as B1 and B2, may require 3-6 months of focused preparation, while advanced levels (C1 and C2) could need 6 months to a year, depending on your goals and starting point.

Studying for the TELC involves practicing all key language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—using mock exams, vocabulary building, and grammar exercises. A tutor can help you create a structured study plan, focusing on your weaker areas and providing regular feedback. By studying consistently and gradually increasing your exposure to the language, you can feel confident and well-prepared for the TELC exam.
