Do you need help to learn or get your French to a higher level? 

Are you learning French and you need to practice your speaking skills? Would you like to develop or maintain your skills? Are you seeking support in your learning?

My name is Magali. As a native French with a background in coaching and vocational training in communication, I’ve been a full time and private French tutor and instructor since 2015. I have been helping adults and kids from basic to advanced to enhance their level and confidence. Here are the lessons I offer:

• lessons for beginners/false beginners/intermediate: learn in the context of real life with a textbook (pronunciation, reading, role-plays, vocabulary, conversations and grammar essentials)
• conversation (intermediate/advanced): practice and enhance your communication skills on various topics or for a specific purpose
• coaching for exams (DELF, DALF, TEF, TEFAC, FIDE, IB, Canadian Government oral testing, British GCSE), job interviews, oral and written presentations
• coaching for non-native French tutors/instructors : building lessons, explaining certain difficult grammar points/culture, finding ressources, various questions and tips

Patient and creative, I will fit your needs and provide you with a fun and adequate material and environment. My lessons are fun and laid-back, this is an essential key to learn and get out of your comfort zone.

Why am I dedicated to pass on knowledge? Because the more I teach, the more I learn and the better I get, the more I can help others! I'm a lifelong learner and teaching has always been part of my life mission. 

I’ve lived in Canada (West and East coast) for 10 years and I am currently living in Brussels, Belgium. In both countries, I can be immersed in a multicultural environment, which makes me happy and at home. Besides, I love to write, create clay sculptures, paint in watercolour, travel and get into nature as much as I can. 

I’m looking forward to meeting you!

IMPORTANT: I currently do not teach children — thank you for your understanding! :)

Bonjour!

I’m Charlotte, originally from Geneva, Switzerland, and I’ve been teaching French online since 2018.Over the past six years, I’ve delivered more than 4,000 lessons to students around the world — from complete beginners to advanced speakers refining their fluency. Most of my students are adults who want to go beyond textbook French and feel truly comfortable speaking in real-life situations.

My lessons are structured, thoughtful, and fully adapted to your goals. Whether you’re preparing to move abroad, improve your professional communication, travel with ease, or simply speak more naturally in everyday conversations, we’ll build a clear and realistic path together.

I combine grammar, conversation, and pronunciation work in a way that feels practical and connected to real usage. You’ll understand how the language works — not just memorize rules — and you’ll leave each lesson with clear progress and useful tools you can apply immediately.

I’m fluent in English and Spanish, which allows me to explain complex points clearly and adjust to different learning styles. Having lived and worked internationally myself, I understand the challenges of functioning in another language — and I create a supportive space where you can practice without pressure.

My goal is simple: to help you move from understanding French to speaking it confidently and naturally.

Looking forward to working with you,

Charlotte

I have been teaching French for over 10 years, working with learners of all levels and ages: from beginners to advanced, kids to adults.

My approach focuses on speaking practice: talking from day one, embracing mistakes, and building fluency through real conversation, all grounded in solid grammar to make progress last. For conversation lessons, I use real-life materials like articles and videos, while grammar is practiced through dedicated books and exercises.

Every lesson is tailored to your interests and goals. Travel, work, exams, or simply a love of the language: we will build together the path that fits you best!

I was born in France, but I also lived for 7 years in Buenos Aires, where I studied audiovisual communication. That experience taught me what it really means to learn a language. I am currently based in Spain. I am fluent in Spanish, conversational in English, and I am currently learning Portuguese. I am curious about every subject and culture, with a predilection for art, literature, travel, and philosophy.

In addition to regular tutoring, I also give poetry workshops in French, from level B1.

I look forward to meeting you! The most important thing with languages is to get started and to practice.

À bientôt,
Méloée

For me, learning is practicing, doing, imitating, and acting.

Speaking with a native French speaker is the easier way to get comfortable with the slang, intonation, and mannerisms.

I'm here to give you an awesome pronunciation, a fluid spoken, giving you more vocabulary and I’ll be really focusing on how to make you be more fluent and comfortable to speak this beautiful language.

My name is Léa, I am 28 years old and I am a French native, born and raised in the South of France, in Toulouse.

I also speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese and I've been teaching French for 3 years now.

So if you are ready to learn while having fun, send me a message, and let’s start!:)

ENGLISH

Bonjour !

My name is Marina. I have been a French teacher for five years. I taught in Ireland, England, Spain, and Ecuador, with students of all ages and levels, and in settings both informal and formal. I'm new to LanguaTalk but I've been teaching French online for a year as well.

I offer different forms of teaching, depending on your level and preferred learning methods. For example, a beginner who needs structure might benefit from lessons from a written method that mixes grammar, vocabulary, and listening, speaking, reading and writing exercises, while a more advanced student would prefer us to focus on conversation.

Don't hesitate to book a trial session with me so we can get to know each other!

ESPAÑOL

Bonjour !

Me llamo Marina. Soy profesora de francés desde hace cinco años. Enseñé en Irlanda, Inglaterra, España y Ecuador, con estudiantes de todas las edades y niveles, y en entornos formales e informales. Soy nueva en LanguaTalk, pero también llevo un año enseñando francés en línea.

Ofrezco diferentes formas de enseñanza, según tu nivel y tus métodos de aprendizaje favoritos. Por ejemplo, un principiante que necesita estructura podría beneficiarse de lecciones gracias a un método escrito que combina gramática, vocabulario y ejercicios de comprensión y expresión escrita y oral, mientras que un estudiante más avanzado preferiría que nos concentremos en la discusión.

No dudes en reservar una lección conmigo.

Bonjour ! I'm Laura, a native French teacher from Paris.

I’m passionate about languages, travel, and culture. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 5 years working for the Paris Tourist Office, which gave me a deep understanding of my city and its many hidden gems. I also love cooking — especially traditional French recipes — and I enjoy bringing elements of French gastronomy, culture, and daily life into my lessons.

Over the years, I’ve taught learners from all over the world with various goals: studying in France, moving abroad, or simply learning for pleasure. I’ve also helped students prepare for French exams like the DELF, TCF, and TEF Canada, with a special focus on oral expression.

For the first part of my higher education, I went to preparatory school in literature. It allowed me to get in-depth knowledge in French language, literature and history. Then I studied in an international context in which I got a Business and Entrepreneurship Bachelor and Marketing and Brand Management Master. Therefore, I am perfectly at ease to teach and offer adapted content depending on my students.

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced level, I will gladly support you in learning French!

Together, we’ll define your learning goals and adapt each lesson to your level, interests, and pace. I use a variety of resources — articles, videos, songs, podcasts — to keep things dynamic and work on all aspects of the language: vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and conversation. My classes are conducted mainly in French to help you immerse yourself in the language, but I can also explain things in English or Spanish when needed.

Most importantly, I want your learning experience to be enjoyable and effective. Feel free to share your preferences, and I’ll tailor the content and approach accordingly.

Let’s start your French journey together! 

Hello my new friend, how are you?

I'm Lisa and I'm here to help you become French. 

It's very simple : With me you will learn, have fun and love the French language more.  

I believe that language learning should be an enjoyable and engaging process, and I strive to create a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages students to take risks, make mistakes, and develop their language skills at their own pace.

To achieve this, I tailor my lessons to each student's level of proficiency and learning style. I work with them to identify their specific strengths and weaknesses, and I create lesson plans that address their areas of need while also building upon their existing knowledge and skills.

My program is unique in that it combines traditional teaching methods with innovative technology and multimedia resources. I use a range of teaching materials, including textbooks, videos, and interactive online tools, to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience that appeals to students of all ages and backgrounds.

In addition to providing regular feedback and support, I also encourage students to practice outside of class by providing them with a variety of resources and exercises that help them develop their language skills on their own.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you become confident and proficient in the French language, while also fostering a love and appreciation for the language and its culture. By providing a personalized and engaging learning experience, I believe that I can help you achieve your language learning goals and develop a lifelong passion for learning.
