Speak real French 🥐 Clear grammar & Natural conversations 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 Bonjour! I'm Anaïs, a native French teacher from Paris, currently living in Indonesia with my dog Luna. 🌺🐶 For over 4 years, I've helped more than 500 students from around the world improve their French through almost 3,000 online lessons. Having learned English, Japanese and Spanish myself, I know that every learner is different. Some need structure, others learn best through conversation. That's why I adapt every lesson to your level, goals and way of learning. I teach motivated teenagers and adults from A1 to C2. Whether you're learning French for travel, work, studies, moving abroad or simply because you love the language, I'll help you build confidence and actually enjoy the process. My lessons combine clear grammar explanations with plenty of speaking practice, because understanding a language is important, but using it is what makes you fluent. I'll guide you with personalised feedback, practical advice and a structured follow up so you can see your progress over time. I'm naturally curious and genuinely enjoy meeting people from different cultures. My lessons are relaxed, encouraging and built around conversations that matter to you. If you're looking for an experienced teacher who will challenge you, support you and adapt to your needs, I'd love to help you reach your goals. À bientôt! 🤍

Experienced French Teacher • Structured, Supportive & Student-Focused Lessons I’m a French teacher with 15+ years’ experience. Originally from France, I’ve lived in Scotland for 16 years. I teach teenagers (15+) and adults from beginner to advanced. I can explain clearly in English when needed, but focus on using French as much as possible. Lessons are structured and personalised around your level and goals, linking grammar, vocabulary, and all four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing). Listening and writing exercises are usually given as homework so the lesson time can be used for active language output. Lessons include varied activities, regular review, and clear explanations. I take notes during class using either a Google Doc or a Word document and send the class notes, the materials used during the lesson and optional homework after each lesson. The pace is flexible — we spend extra time on areas you find challenging and move faster when you’re ready, making every lesson personalised. Types of lessons available: - Leçons de français : structured, progressive lessons based on various themes. - Topic-based conversation : various materials are used to encourage you to speak, with the full focus on the lesson being on speaking. - Trial Lesson - Amélioration des compétences d'écriture : exercises and feedback designed to help you improve your writing skills. Please see individual lesson types for more details. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me :-) A bientôt !

Relaxed and spontaneous private tutor Hi! I’m Sarah, an Algerian biochemistry student currently living in the charming city of Pécs, Hungary. My multicultural background means I’m fluent in French, Darja (from Algeria), and English, which helps me connect with people from all over the world. I’m passionate about traveling and love discovering new places, trying different foods, and learning about unique traditions and cultures wherever I go. In my free time, you’ll often find me in the kitchen baking sweet treats, out on a hiking trail enjoying nature, curled up with a good book, or simply relaxing with animals, they always brighten my day. I’m also a bit of a gamer at heart, and Project Zero is my absolute favorite game to play when I want to unwind. When I’m not gaming, I enjoy binge-watching teen series, especially classics like Gossip Girl, but I am also passionate by history and I can talk about it for hours! My relaxed vibe and genuine curiosity about the world make it easy for me to connect with fellow foodies, travelers, and gamers alike. If you share any of these interests or just want to chat about life, I’m always up for a good conversation!

    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!

    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!

Frequently asked questions about online French classes

What is the fastest way to learn to speak French?

The fastest way to learn to speak French is with an online French tutor. Working with a tutor ensures your time is focused on the skills that matter most, mistakes are corrected immediately, and your lessons adapt to your level and goals.

To make the most of your learning, take private French lessons tailored to your current level and goals, schedule conversational French classes to practice speaking in real situations and build confidence, and track your progress to adjust focus. Your French teacher can pinpoint weak spots, like pronunciation or verb usage, so every session helps you improve steadily. You can also access free French learning resources, which will help you develop your grammar and vocabulary, and writing skills. This coupled with an italki French tutor will help you on your path to French fluency.

What is the 80/20 rule for learning French?

The 80/20 rule suggests that roughly 20% of what you study produces about 80% of your progress. For French learners, this means focusing on the high-value areas that you use most: common verbs, everyday vocabulary, core grammar patterns, and regular speaking practice.

On italki, a French tutor can help you apply the 80/20 rule by identifying the skills and topics that matter most for your goals. Instead of spending time on rarely used grammar or obscure vocabulary, your private French tutor guides your online French lessons to stay focused, helping you see progress faster.

Are private French tutors worth it?

Yes, private French tutors are worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your French learning.

Hiring a private French tutor is worth it because:

  • Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether it’s French lessons for beginners or French conversation classes.
  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
  • Tutors can adjust your French lessons online to focus on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Many learners find that combining private French lessons with additional resources, like apps or podcasts, makes learning more efficient and keeps them motivated.

Can you learn French without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn French without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with a French tutor or an online French tutor.

A French tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • 🛠️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos. It works, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.
