Finding French classes in Bucharest that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online French classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face French lessons in Bucharest. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational French classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Bucharest time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.

Hello!
I am Chantal, a native French speaker. I also speak English fluently, and I have some knowledge of Spanish. I have been a Certified Secondary School Teacher for 20+ years, and I am still just as passionate about teaching!
Together, we can practice the four skills of language learning: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Having learned two languages myself, I understand how intimidating language classes can sometimes be. That’s why I craft your lessons according to your level, and personal needs.
I provide the material and tools you need, and I am open to any suggestions in terms of material or topics. I use pictures, videos, songs, articles, and more to make the lessons varied and enriching.
I offer a friendly environment, where you can have fun, make mistakes, retry, and learn at your own pace.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better. I look forward to seeing you in class.

Hello my name is teacher Sussu and I am so happy to meet you.
I am an experienced teacher with more than 17 years of experience.
I have a Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and FLE (French as a Second Language) and I am Montessori certified.
I believe that learning a new language should be fun and exciting.
Yes, it is not always easy, but it is more like a puzzle you build piece by piece.
I always start where you are and offer new ways to use and expand what you already know.
My priority in class is to make sure my students speak and relax.
The more relaxed, the more confident you will be. The more daring, the more you will see that it is okay to make mistakes and try again.
I will always challenge you to reach higher, to add one step and then another step in your language journey. And then, you will have fun doing so.
Plus, I match my classes to your interests and goals.
So what do you think?
Are you ready to book a trial with me?
I promise to always be patient and kind.
I hope to see you soon.
Until then...

Bonjour a tous!!
Are you planning to move to a French-speaking country? Do you want to improve your language skills? Do you wish to embrace a new culture? I am here to help you, from the comfort of your own home, anywhere in the world!
My name is Alizee, I am from Bretagne, France, the land of butter and cider!
I have been a language teacher since 2014. I graduated from the University of Oregon in the US with a Master of arts (French culture and Literature) and then I got a bachelor of Teaching French as a 2nd language from the University of Nantes, France. I started teaching at the University of Oregon as a GTF and it helped me find my path, teaching became a part of my identity and I really found myself thanks to this experience. Afterwards, I started to travel around south east Asia and moved to Vietnam and started teaching English to Vietnamese students. I started teaching French online when I moved to the Philippines in 2019, and have continued since in several countries such as Canada and France.
I provide personalized online classes, based on your level (from A1 to C2), your goals and your interests. Each class will include grammatical introductions/reminders, listening comprehension but most of all speaking practice. If you are planning to take the DELF exam, I can also help! Homework will be provided outside of class to not waste time during the lesson. From daily life situations, to current events and news, we will have a wide range of different topics.
A bientot!
Alizee
Please note: If you are booking a free trial session, please cancel or let me know asap if you can't make it, out of respect for my time, as well as the students trying to book lessons. Thank you!

Hi! I'm Méloée, I am 28 and I've been teaching French since 2015. I was born and grew up in Bretagne (North-West of France), lived for 7 years in Argentina, 2 years in Marseille (in the South of France) and I live now in Barcelona, Spain. I speak French, Spanish and English, and I am also currently learning Portuguese.
I teach to all levels and ages. Conversation classes, to prepare a trip, an exam, to learn from zero, to practice grammar... we'll see together what are your goals and preferences and I'll tailor my lessons to you.
In my experience the quickest and best way to progress is speaking and practicing a lot, so I always try to include a lot of practice in my lessons.
For example, a class may start with a text or video (more or less difficult depending on your level) to practice comprehension, then I'll ask you some specific questions about the document to see if you understood well and see the new vocabulary. Then I'll ask more generic questions around the theme of the video/text, so you talk about your opinion on the subject, related experiences... This way, you'll speak a lot and it allows me to identify easily if you may need some theoretical exercises on specific points.
I will always build my classes depending on your needs. If you are confortable using specifics learning methods or material, let me know and we will plan something together.
Let me you know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you soon!

Bonjour!
I’m Yousra and I am a French tutor with more than 3 years of experience teaching online :D
Do you know that I’ve been practicing French for 20 years :D It’s because I spent my entire academic and university’s career in French and I'm using it now at work :D
Today, I’m here to help you learning French, starting by clarifying your learning needs and setting short and long term goals.
I will provide you with courses that match with your specific needs and interests, whether to develop your communication, your pronunciation or your writing skills, etc. Also, in order to make our courses rich and varied, we will use a variety of materials, such as texts, articles, videos, audio notes, etc. Moreover, I can assign you some exercises that will help you to consolidate your learnings.
And since I care about your improvement :D I will also share with you some tips that you can do everyday in order to keep practicing French even outside the class :)
Can't wait to meet you in our first class!
Yousra,

Hello ! My name is Charlotte, from France. Learning languages is a passion of mine, along with many others :-) I welcome everyone to come and learn with me; whatever your current level, I’ll be very happy to help you gain more fluency in French. I’m very patient and will provide a cheerful and safe environment where you can talk without any stress or fear of being judged. I try to stick to French as much as possible during the lessons in order to build up your confidence about being able to navigate through your new language.
I believe in helping you master French as it is spoken/written by actual French-speaking people, not textbooks. This means adapting the material and language level to the situation. Indeed, we don’t usually speak in daily life the way a journalist does on the news. And we don’t write a formal report as we would an email to a friend. So knowing your goals and why you are learning French is essential.
A bientôt !

Bonjour ! Pourquoi souhaites-tu apprendre le français ? Peut-être pour voyager ou pour ton travail ? Ou simplement pour l'amour de la langue. Mon but est de t'aider à atteindre tes objectifs quels qu'ils soient. J'adapte mes classes selon les niveaux, besoins et surtout envies ! Je suis ouverte à tout.
Si tu viens de commencer à apprendre la langue, nous verrons par exemple ensemble les bases de la langue, la prononciation, mais discuterons d'hors et déjà :) Le but étant de faire le cours tout en ayant l'impression de ne pas travailler, plutôt cool non ? Si tu as besoin de parler français dans une situation précise, nous ferons ensemble des exercices ludiques, des études de vidéos ou de textes, des mises en situation... Et si tu souhaites juste discuter ou faire un mix de tout ça c'est tout à fait possible.
J'ai hâte que l'on commence ! :)

In English :
Hello! Why do you want to learn French? Maybe to travel or for your job? Or simply for the love of the language. My goal is to help you achieve your goals whatever they may be. I adapt my classes according to levels, needs and especially desires! I am open to everything.
If you have just started learning the language, we will see for example together the basics of the language, pronunciation, but will discuss already and already :) The goal is to do the course while having the impression of not working, pretty cool right? If you need to speak French in a specific situation, we will do fun exercises together, study videos or texts, role-plays... And if you just want to discuss or do a mix of all that it is quite possible.
After each course, I send a document tracing all the corrections that I was able to make during the course. I also create homework according to the needs of each student, if they wish.
I can't wait to get started! :)

Originally from Paris, where I trained and taught French to both school students and adult learners, I also studied in London and worked in Scotland. I'm currently based in Spain. I have vast experience in teaching in-person and online.
I am a friendly, positive, patient and adaptable teacher. Lessons are taught in a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. For me, teaching is a ongoing passion and my aim is to encourage you and build your confidence. All lessons are tailored to each student's specific requirements, skills and objectives. My guiding principle is that learning should be a fun, passionate and pleasant adventure.

Hello,
🇨🇦 I am a French-speaking Quebecer and I have been a teacher of French as a Foreign Language for several years. I teach online in different language schools and web platforms. I offer dynamic and playful classes where conversation and fun are the order of the day!
✈️ In addition to teaching, I work in translation, tutoring and responsible tourism. I am a digital nomad and I have been traveling the world for a few years. I am passionate about travel, outdoors, social dancing, cooking, personal development, culture and of course linguistics and learning!
👩🏻🏫 My teaching methods are very varied and focused on the practical and participative approach. We will cover grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and linguistic idiosyncrasies which we will practice in conversation activities.
🎯 My main goal is to create a comfortable and fun environment that helps one gain fluency and confidence with the language. All mistakes are welcome, as they are fundamental to the learning process and an opportunity to learn something new! Whether it's for a trip, a move abroad, a professional project or just personal curiosity, I adapt to the level and needs of each learner.
🗓️ My availability is flexible and variable. For organizational purposes, you will find only one time slot available on my calendar, but I am available Monday to Friday from 8am to 4pm (EST). However, write to me and I will be happy to answer your questions and set up a personalized schedule with you.
See Reviews From StudentsWhilst not always the case, French classes in Bucharest are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online French classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online French class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Bucharest and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
On LanguaTalk, you can find highly qualified tutors who offer personalized 1-on-1 French lessons based on your goals and learning style. Here's how it works:
1 - Search for a tutor who meets your needs by reviewing videos, ratings, prices, and availability.
2 - Schedule a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free, while others offer a discounted price.
3 - Take your personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or, you can try a different tutor if you prefer.
You don't need to enter any payment information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you are interested in taking lessons. Prices vary by tutor, and you can use filters to find a tutor who fits your budget. You can pay for each lesson individually or purchase multiple lessons at a discounted rate (view a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning with LanguaTalk. We are trusted by students around the world because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on the tutor's profile.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because, unlike other platforms, we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications.
To see our full list of frequently asked questions or get assistance from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch videos of students sharing their experiences with LanguaTalk below.
The advantage of taking lessons online is that you can learn at any time and from any location. When you select a tutor, check their calendar to ensure that they have available slots that fit your schedule. Some tutor may have limited availability due to high demand from other students.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutor also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this is available, it will be noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, we recommend 55-minute lessons for most students. You may want to consider 30-minute lessons only if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice, or if the lesson is for a child.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial lesson. Many, but not all, tutor offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be reduced to 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at a minimal cost.
Trial lessons are 30 minutes long. They allow you to evaluate whether the tutor is a good fit for you and experience learning online. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so they can customize any lessons you decide to take. You will be encouraged to speak in French as much as possible, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial lesson, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can schedule a trial lesson with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Lessons are conducted one-on-one, allowing you to receive personalized attention from your tutor. lessons are conducted via video call, and you can use any device with a stable internet connection and a webcam to join the lesson.
Your tutor will create a customized lesson plan based on your goals, learning style, and current level. During the lesson, you will have the opportunity to speak, listen, and interact with your tutor in real-time. Your tutor may also provide you with additional materials, such as audio recordings or written exercises, to help you practice and consolidate your learning.
