💬 Book a trial lesson and let’s discover together how to achieve your goals, at your own pace.

✅ Personal work is essential. Too many students rely solely on the teacher and stay passive. But without consistency, progress is limited. You don’t need to study intensely—just a little every day (5 to 15 minutes) is often enough to keep moving forward.

✅ To build a productive and enjoyable learning environment, I ask for respect, punctuality, commitment, and consistency. These values are key to a positive and effective working relationship.

✅ Please check my schedule before booking a class, as my availability may be limited and some slots fill up quickly.

✅ In case of cancellations or changes, please follow the platform’s policy. Last-minute cancellations can be a significant inconvenience.

✅ Finally, if the necessary conditions for effective work are not met, I reserve the right to end our lessons. My goal is to ensure your time, energy, and investment lead to real progress.

Bonjour! 

I’ve been a professional French teacher since 2007. I taught French in various language schools, for big companies and at university. Since 2020, I’ve been teaching exclusively online. These experiences have allowed me to be in contact with different types of students, from children to adults, from beginner to proficiency, for leisure or business purposes or to prepare for the official French certifications (I’m also a DELF examiner). Therefore, I’m used to adapt to the needs and learning objectives of my students. This means that I can choose the right teaching material so that we can practice and progress according to your own goals and interests. 

Languatalk is perfect to learn a language in a very efficient, funny and motivating way. My teaching method is based on oral communication and pronunciation, which doesn’t mean that you won’t learn and practice grammar and structures which are necessary to express oneself properly. Through the material provided such as books, newspapers, videos, you will also be improving your reading and listening skills. We can also work your writing if you need or want to.

See you!

      Bonjour ! Tu souhaites apprendre le français, pour voyager, 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 ton niveau, tes besoins et envies, et je crée  moi-même tous les exercices en fonction !

Plein de choses sont possibles : des exercices de prononciation, de grammaire, des mises en situation, l'écoute de podcasts ou de vidéos, la lecture d'articles ou de livres... Mais le plus important reste la discussion, car c'est en pratiquant la langue qu'on s'améliore ! 

IMPORTANT : durant le cours, je corrige à l'oral tes erreurs et je t'envoie les corrections dans un document écrit après chaque cours. Je peux aussi te donner des devoirs si tu le souhaites. 

N'hésite pas à réserver un premier cours ! :)

       Hello! Do you want to learn French, to travel, 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 your level, your needs and desires, and I create all the exercises myself accordingly!

Many things are possible: pronunciation exercises, grammar exercises, role-playing, listening to podcasts or videos, reading articles or books... But the most important thing is the discussion, because it is by practicing the language that we improve!

IMPORTANT: during the course, I correct your mistakes orally and I send you the corrections in a written document after each class. I can also give you homework if you wish.

Don't hesitate to book a first lesson! :)

A few years ago, when I was in bed at night and almost ready to sleep, I used to ask myself this question : "Why would people want to learn French? Are they crazy?"

Well... Are you? 

It definitely takes guts for someone to take the obscure path of French learning, especially when you know that almost no francophone can speak French perfectly. And it is this courageous desire detected in French learners that made me want to start teaching this language three years ago. In fact, besides the syntactic complexity of this language (which, by the way, is most likely to be a cliché), French is a very poetic language, as it allows countless accesses to figurative speeches (so if you tend to be a little sarcastic at times, this might be perfect for you). Plus, French is cool and sounds fancy too, so... 😗 

Whether you plan to 

• settle in France
• pass an exam
• learn French just for the sheer pleasure of it

I would be very happy to help you achieve your goals and share my knowledge and advices with you as best I can. Please do book a 30 minute trial session with me to discuss your needs!

About me : My name is Clarysse. I am 22 years old, I've been teaching Latin and French for the past two years and I am very passionate about everything I do. If I had to describe myself in three words as a tutor, I would say funny, methodical and adaptable. 

Hi, my name is Farid. Teaching French is something I really enjoy, especially when I witness my students progressing in the language and towards their goals. I have been teaching French for almost 4 years now. My students are children, teenagers and adults of all ages and levels. My lessons are usually customized to meet the needs of the students. I use different materials to teach my students; like comprehension texts, dialogues, stories, vocab materials, games..etc.. I have obtained a Level 7 Diploma in Teaching skills and I also hold a DBS check up-to-date.

In 2010, I left my birth country France to move to the United Kingdom. I am currently in Algeria for a few months, as I wanted to (re)discover my parents country. I love travelling and discovering new cultures and languages. I also speak a little Arabic. 

Book now a trial with me to set the goals you want to achieve. As a French native, I can help you to improve your pronunciation in addition to the grammar. I have been living in the UK for 12 years which made me fully bilingual. With a bit of motivation and a hint of work, your French will upgrade in no time!

Bonjour, my name is Veronique. 

I'm a French teacher for adults and a professional watercolour artist .

I'm originally from France but have lived in the UK for over 20 years.  

 I've been teaching French informally since 2009.

- My clients included professionals, students and people wishing  to learn French for pleasure.

- I use texts, videos, articles, songs and a lot of exercises in my classes.

- I focus on pronunciation, grammar, syntax and vocabulary.

- I tailor every lesson to make sure my students get the best out of each course.

Bonjour everyone ! 

My name is Oana Maria and I am a professional language teacher and a Linguist graduated at the University of Bordeaux , France. I am currently living in North Norway. I came here to take a second master on Sami language and culture, and recently I have been working in an alternative school with kids. 

I am an eternal language learner and a nomad at heart. I love getting to know new places, living in different countries and cultures and never stop learning. I consider learning a language as buying a new pair of shoes that will lead you to a new culture, experience and life style. And definitely, open up your horizons. 

I am currently developing my own methodology to teach languages through theater and arts, therefore my lessons are full of games, dialogues and dramaturgical exercices to make you feel comfortable using the language but also creative and dynamic and ready to use the language in everyday situation. 

I am looking forward to meeting you and walk together the fun, exciting and sometimes challenging path of learning a new language. I am here to guide you ! Let's go ! 

Bonjour! 

With a Master's in French as a Foreign Language in progress and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Modern Languages, I am deeply passionate about language learning and teaching my native tongue—French!

For the past few years, I have been teaching French both online and in person to learners of all ages. I am well-versed in the DELF A1-B2 exams and also offer lessons focused on pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar for casual learners. I tailor my lessons to each student's level and goals, working with beginners up to B2 intermediate learners. My priority is to help you gain confidence and make tangible progress in French.

For the trial lesson

• I will first share a Google Docs document with you. This will allow you to access lesson plans in advance and add your own notes throughout our sessions.
• In the first few minutes, I’ll ask you to introduce yourself and share your expectations for our lessons.
• We will start with some simple exercises to assess your comfort level with grammar, reading, listening, and speaking.

If your main focus is speaking, we will engage in various speaking exercises to help you gain confidence in the language. If you're preparing for the DELF A1-B2 exams or any school/university assessments, we will target the areas you feel need the most improvement. And if you're here to learn French in a fun and relaxed way, we can explore any themes or topics that interest you.

I hope to see you very soon! 😊
