My principle in teaching and conducting lessons is to move away from memorizing rules from memory, and, instead, learn to understand the principles of the language and use them in the same way as talking and pronouncing sounds correctly by feeling, and not going over each one in your head all the rules, since there won’t be time for that in real speech. You always need to build on the situation and comfort.

Why learning French with a tutor is smarter than any app

In a world where apps promise fluency in weeks, learning French one-on-one with a real teacher remains the most effective—and most underestimated—approach. At Start Language School by Tymur Levitin, part of Levitin Language School, we know why.

We work with both native French speakers and experienced polyglots who have mastered French as a second or third language. And here’s the twist: in real lessons, being a native speaker doesn’t always mean being the better teacher.

In fact, polyglot tutors often understand your struggles better. Why? Because they’ve been there. They’ve cracked the grammar, fought through pronunciation, and found ways to make the language stick. And that’s what they bring to the table.

Native Speaker or Polyglot Tutor: Which is Better?

Let’s break it down:

FeatureNative SpeakerPolyglot Tutor
Speaks French since birth✅ (as a high-level learner)
Understands learner struggles❌ Often not✅ Absolutely
Can explain grammar in English❌ Not always✅ Yes
Uses structured teaching methods🤷 Depends✅ Usually yes
Is empathetic about pronunciation issues❌ Rarely✅ Often

Our verdict? You need a great teacher, not just a native speaker.
