Come talk with me about life and movies to improve your French or English in a fun way :) Bienvenue ! Je m'appelle Caci, je suis française et passionnée par les langues. Je suis une artiste, j'ai étudié le design, le graphisme et la photographie. Je viens de Bourgogne, mais je vis aux États-Unis depuis 4 ans. Et aujourd'hui j'habite à Los Angeles ! J'ai énormément de passion dans la vie telle que le cinéma et les films, la peinture, les langues, les jeux vidéo, les cultures étrangères, la mode, le dessin, la littérature, les animaux et les plantes. Et je suis très curieuse, j'adore découvrir et apprendre de nouvelles choses. J’espère qu’on aura la chance de parler ensemble de tout cela et bien plus. Je sais qu’apprendre une langue n’est pas facile. J’ai et je suis encore moi-même en plein apprentissage de langues étrangères. Ainsi, je sais être à l'écoute, comprendre les difficultés auxquelles tu fais face. Et je saurais trouver les solutions à tes problèmes. Moreover, I'm fluent in English. That can be useful if you also speak English. I'll be able to translate words for you or explain a rule that you struggle with. ¡Hablo español también! Ma méthode d’enseignement ? C’est celle qu’on va concevoir ensemble selon ton niveau actuel, et celui vers lequel tu veux aller. Je m’adapte donc à ce que tu préfères, et à ce que tu désires travailler pour que tu te sentes le plus à l’aise avec la langue française.

🌎 Ease into conversational level without fear but with laughter and enthusiasm!! My preferred approach to teaching French is that is should be fun, stressless and focused on giving students a level of fluency so that they have the confidence to handle a conversation. While reading and writing is important, being able to communicate in a foreign language is from far, in my view, the most satisfying and rewarding aspect.

    Learning French

    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

    Learning French

    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!!

  • Enrique

    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 !

  • Hicham T

    Learning French

    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 !!!

    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!

  • Gurmandeep

    Really happy with my lessons with Amma so far! Still prepping for the TCF, but every lesson is focused and practical — lots of exam-style practice, clear explanations, and genuinely helpful feedback. What I appreciate most is how patient and clear she is, stuff I used to struggle with actually makes sense now. Already feel a lot more confident in my French. Highly recommend if you're working toward the TCF specifically!

    I have been taking lessons with Manu for about 2 months now, and he's the best. I really appreciate the attention he puts into crafting a course to tailor my needs, and he's excellent at finding areas you can improve at and working on them together. The course I take with him is a great mix of conversation and discussion, while also taking time to cover grammatical points or pronunciation when needed. In the two months we've been working together I feel like my conversational abilities have seen a real improvement, and I'm looking forward to continuing taking lessons with him.

  • Jason Lavin

    Learning French

    Professeure Gilee is an excellent teacher. In fact, out of the 3 or 4 teacher's I've had on iTalki, she is the one who has provided the most structure to our lessons and provides goals to attain and works towards those goals consistently. Rather than just speaking with someone, which is important, she has provided opportunities for role playing that forces me to structure my conversations differently and develop new ways of speaking rather than relying on more basic forms. She is helping me to enrich my vocabulary and my communication style!
