Depriya De,
you'd better use the following collocations with the word classes meaning lessons:
conduct, hold, give classes in sth.
Therefore,
Mr X gives us classes in French./Mr X holds (conducts) classes in French for us.
You can also express the same idea more economically:
Mr X is our French teacher.
