Finding French classes in Utrecht 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 Utrecht. 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 Utrecht time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.

Hello!
I've been teaching French for almost 15 years! I spent the first 10 years traveling the world teaching in schools and universities and the last 5 years teaching people from all around the world entirely online, and I love it! I am a passionate and caring teacher, each of my students is very special to me.
I like to teach in a casual way, so you feel comfortable and learn at your pace. My lessons are often based on friendly conversations and when we encounter a grammar or vocabulary issue, we do a mini lesson on the topic and if needed, we dedicate a full session to it. I can also tailor the lesson to any subject. I'm quite good at explaining French grammar (which can be tricky!) in simple and visual terms. With complete beginners, the lessons are more structured but my goal is for you to be able to have small conversations as soon as possible (sometimes in the 3rd or 4th lesson!).
I have a lot of experience with a lot of different people in different situations: adults, university students, teenagers, children, people with dyslexia or ADHD, people that never studied a foreign language before, people that immigrated (or wanted to immigrate) to France, people whose partner is French, people who just learned French for fun :)
My resources include a lot of content I created myself and many digital textbooks.
I'd love to meet you and know more about why you want to learn French, come do a trial with me! :)

You may have different reasons to learn French. It can be for job opportunities, living in a French-speaking country, or just for fun. Well, don’t look any further!
Hi, I'm Leyla! With over six years of experience, I offer tailored one-on-one online French lessons designed to empower adult learners on their language journey. As a multilingual tutor who has navigated the challenges of learning languages firsthand, I understand the nuances, struggles, and victories involved.
My approach blends conversational learning with structured lessons, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and engaging in real-life discussions. During our sessions, we delve into personalized topics, taking notes on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation to ensure comprehensive growth.
Before we start, I conduct a free trial session to understand your learning style, preferences, and goals. This helps me personalize our lessons, whether you're a visual learner, an auditory learner, or a mix of both. As we progress, I regularly assess your development, providing targeted exercises and feedback to reinforce your strengths and tackle areas needing improvement.
My dedication to your success extends beyond our sessions. You'll have access to collaborative Google Docs and an Excel file that track our lessons, vocabulary, grammar, and your progress. I believe in fostering a supportive learning environment, encouraging consistent practice, and tailoring homework to address your specific needs.
Join me on this language-learning journey, where your goals become our shared achievement. Together, we'll navigate the intricacies of French, building confidence and fluency one conversation at a time.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to check my profile !
As a teacher, I’m very patient and caring. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment where we will turn any mistakes into a learning opportunity.
Lessons I teach :
1- Conversation classes
2- TEF Canada/ TCF Canada exam preparation classes : Speaking & Writing
3- French for beginners
In conversation classes, I’ll give you plenty of time to speak and I will provide you with detailed feedback that will help you get a better understanding of the use of French. I choose topics we can talk about during and plan lessons around them. However, you are very welcome to choose topics that fit your own interests.
For exam preparation classes, I will focus on improving your writing and speaking skills to help you reach the score you aim at. I have helped many students get the B2+ and more in TEF and TCF Canada exams.
As for beginners classes, we can use a manual or have informal classes.

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!:)

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.
Are you ready? Bring your motivation, copybook , your joy , and join me !
I can't wait to meet you :)

You find French difficult?
You think you are bad at language?
You need to practice without being judged?
You don't get the spelling, the grammar, or the pronunciation?
But what if I told you that everyone can learn a language! We just need to find the method that suits you best. Therefore, and because I believe all students are unique and have specific needs, goals and learning strategies, my teaching style stands somewhere between an intuitive approach and a student-centered method.
I help you improve and reach your goals through engaging activities, interesting conversations and suitable exercises. With me, you learn a practical and useful French updated with common expressions, useful grammar tips, etc. You acquire speaking and understanding skills (and more…) naturally and without forcing for a better integration in the country.
Conversation is at the core of every lesson, and around it, we add various activities and exercise to help you. We do grammar when you require or want it.
Together we create the class that suits you best.
No boring or stressful tasks. I make sure to keep you engaged and motivated.
I don't care if you do little mistakes, as long as you enjoy learning and keep learning! Therefore, I focus on nourishing your motivation and self-confidence. Have no worries, I won't belittle you or make you feel like you are back to school. This class is yours, and we are partners in this adventure!
About me?
Initially I finished my baccalaureate in Literature (2001) but since then life brought me a bit everywhere. I volunteered for various populations (4 years), and graduated in BSSW (2019). Swiss, I call myself a wanderer because my heart got colored with all the beautiful cultures I have encountered on my exotic journey in Europe, Kenya, and Philippines.
Since 2020, I have been blessed with wonderful students from all around the world: more than 150 students from +30 different nationalities. I love my work and the people I meet on the way!

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.
See Reviews From StudentsWhile 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 Utrecht and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
Whilst not always the case, French classes in Utrecht 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.
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.
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.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 French lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.
No card is required to book a free trial session. Please only book if you're considering taking lessons. Pricing varies by tutor and you can use the filter to find someone who fits your budget. You can pay one lesson at a time, or buy in bulk for a discount (open a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
We’re confident you’ll love learning via LanguaTalk. We're trusted by students all over the world because we're transparent. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display reviews on tutors’ profiles.

New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutor offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take.

Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever French tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutor have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
