Hi, I'm Mehdi, a software engineer from Algeria with a passion for languages and communication. Working in tech has taught me that clear, confident communication is just as important as technical skills and I know firsthand how challenging it can be to reach that level in a foreign language.

In my lessons, you will: ✔ Speak from day one, no passive learning ✔ Get instant, clear corrections ✔ Learn vocabulary and expressions used in real conversations ✔ Build confidence step by step I work best with learners who are motivated and want to make real progress. My lessons are relaxed but structured, always adapted to your level and goals. A typical session includes: - Conversation practice on topics that matter to you - Vocabulary building and natural expressions - Pronunciation and fluency work - Instant feedback and explanations Whether you're preparing for a job abroad, improving your professional English, or simply want to speak more confidently, I'm here to help.

French Teacher from Quebec with 5+ years experience, using a communicative approach "You can't become good at something you don't do", so in my class we'll make sure you get a lot of speaking in! :) I use a communicative approach and comprehensible input -- fancy words that only mean that most of the class will happen in your target language and that you will do a lot of talking. Of course we'll also learn grammar rules, but we'll make sure you can also use that knowledge *in conversation*. I'm very friendly and patient, so don't be shy to come try a class with me!

Hi! I was born and raised in France, but I've always been interested in foreign countries and languages. I've visited a few countries already, and I'm always eager to share about my experience traveling and learning languages. I'm still a student, I've just finished scientific classe préparatoire (a school that we can access after high school and where we intensively study subjects like maths and physics for two to three years) and I'm now studying in an engineering school, so if you have an interest in science or in the French school system, we could definitely talk about them. I also love watching movies/series, playing boardgames and reading books. Although I'm quite new to teaching, I've spent years learning various foreign languages and exchanging with people all around the world to discover their culture and language and share about mine. I'm therefore ready to do my best in order to help you improve your French and learn more about France :) I think the best way to learn something is by having fun and going to one's own rhythm, so I try to adapt to every student and to discuss topics they've expressed interest in. Language learning shouldn't feel like a chore!

Growing up, I traveled to many different countries, which gave me a lifelong passion for adventure and discovery. After high school, I grabbed my backpack and flew to Asia to pursue my dream of studying Medicine. I am also a language enthusiast! Having taught myself English from scratch to study medicine, I know exactly what it’s like to learn a new language. This journey inspired me to become a tutor and help others master French, with a focus on speaking and confidence. When I’m not studying medicine or teaching, I have many passions! I love playing the guitar, drawing, and dancing. I’m also a big fan of cooking and exploring traditional medicine, like Ayurveda and TCM. I’m always curious to learn about your passions too, so we’ll have plenty of interesting things to talk about in French!

Преподаватель французского и английского с красным дипломом и 10 летним стажем Если вы приходите в зал с запросом накачать пресс, а ваш тренер просит вас приседать - с таким человеком результата не будет, потому что он не понимает, что нужно делать и для чего. Примерно такая ситуация происходит в большинстве случаев с репетиторами. Поэтому я, как преподаватель, точно прописываю план каждого урока и конечную цель, чтобы изучение не превращалось в десятилетия чтения текстов BBC и просмотров роликов с YouTube. Средний срок постановки произношения - месяц. Средний срок чистки грамматики - месяц. Английский/Французский с нуля до В2 при регулярных занятиях по часу 2-3 раза в неделю и выполнении д/з - год.

    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.

    Je me prépare au TEF Canada avec Youcef depuis un mois et je constate des progrès évidents dans mon expression orale. Il m'a énormément aidé dans mon parcours, en me fournissant toujours des supports pertinents et des retours honnêtes. Il prend vraiment le temps de m'écouter avant de répondre et ne m'interrompt pas lorsque j'expose mes arguments, car il comprend combien il est difficile de s'exprimer dans une langue qui n'est pas sa langue maternelle. Je le recommande vivement à toute personne se préparant au TEF Canada. Merci beaucoup Youcef.

    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!

    Taking a class with Taka is like taking a class with my friend. Although he always has lessons ready to teach me, many times we end up discussing a variety of other topics because I love asking questions. Me being a curious person is not a problem for Taka because he is patient and always ready with answers. He gives examples and uses photos to help explain and make sure I understand. Best of all, Taka speaks at a pace that I can comprehend. He is able to speed up the pace or slow down if I give a questioning look. I always look forward to my classes with Taka. Thank you.

    I highly recommend Didier’s classes. He is always punctual and very professional. He has a very good understanding of the exam’s evaluation criteria, especially for the TCF Canada, which helped me better understand my weaknesses and work on them more effectively. When it comes to speaking, the small exercises he gave me were very helpful in improving my overall performance. Before taking his classes, I didn’t really pay much attention to my speaking pace. Didier also suggested a specific method for practicing this, which I found very useful. Thanks to his guidance and support, I was able to pass my exam successfully. I’m very grateful for all his help, patience, and encouragement throughout my preparation. Thank you very much, Didier!

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.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online French tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine private French lessons with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How much does a French tutor cost?
