Highly experienced teacher - I offer a wide variety of fun, interesting and very useful lesson types I have been teaching for more than 26 years and teaching online for about 12 years. I really enjoy teaching English and connecting with people from all over the world. Travelling and learning about different cultures is a passion for me as well. I am a vegan who is a health, wellness and fitness enthusiast. I regularly volunteer at my city's foodbank. I enjoy nature and being outdoors . Life is an adventure, and increasing (and also sharing) our knowledge is one way to help us enjoy it more fully! ॐ शान्तिः I believe that learning must be fun and interesting. A good teacher understands his/her students needs, strengths and weakness, and designs lessons based on that knowledge. I am not a big believer in learning from a textbook. Each student has their own unique needs, motivations and learning styles. Conversation should always be a central component of learning/improving your language skills. Mock interviews, IELTS and SAT test preparation are a few of the more frequently requested specialized services that I offer.

Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | NeuroBoost Method Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | 4.9★ (316 Reviews) | 3,000+ Lessons on italki Since 2013 I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and spent part of my childhood in New York — so both Spanish and English are truly native to me. After studying philosophy in Paris and English literature in London, I found my real calling: helping people learn languages in a way that feels natural instead of stressful. Over the past three decades I developed NeuroBoost, a method combining Sophrology (which I studied directly under its founder, Dr. Alfonso Caycedo, in Bogotá), Suggestopedia, and Superlearning. In practice, this means lessons built around relaxation and visualization techniques that help you absorb vocabulary and speak with less mental blocking. Many students tell me it's the calmest, most enjoyable language learning they've experienced — while still making real progress. I've taught on italki since 2013, with over 3,000 lesson hours, a 4.9-star rating across 316 reviews, and 100% attendance and response rates. My students come from more than 30 countries, from complete beginners to those refining fluency for work, travel, or exams. I bring real teaching structure and a distinctive method built on relaxation and deep engagement with language and culture — not one instead of the other. Try a 45-minute NeuroBoost trial lesson and feel the difference for yourself. 🚀

IELTS Speaking & Writing Specialist | 20+ Years Experience | Band Score Results Hi, I'm Tom, a British IELTS Speaking and Writing specialist with over 20 years of teaching experience. I work primarily with students who are serious about hitting a specific band score, whether that's for university entry, immigration, or professional certification. Most students don't fail IELTS because their English is bad. They fail because no one's shown them exactly what examiners are scoring for, and how to fix the specific habits holding their band score back. That's where I come in. My lessons focus on: Speaking fluency, pronunciation, and accent reduction for natural, confident delivery Writing structure and language that examiners reward (Task 1 and Task 2) Targeted feedback on your actual weaknesses, not generic grammar drills A clear, personalised study plan based on where you are and where you need to be I've helped students improve full-band scores in weeks, not months, by focusing on what actually moves the needle. Book your trial lesson today, and I'll give you a personalised study plan based on your current level and target score.

My mother-tongue is Korean. But I've learned English, Japanese and Chinese. So I truly understand how difficult learning languages is. I'm very positive, patient and enthusiastic. And I prepare each lesson only for A student. For example, if a student has a tendency to make mistakes using the present perfect, I usually prepare more focused lessons that he or she can repeatedly practice using the present perfect. I believe you could learn more through the mistakes that you make. And I will be there for you to correct or coach whenever you need it. You are going to be very very proud of yourself in the end. Let's have fun learning!!

    I have been taking weekly classes with Ariadne for more than a year now, sometimes choosing Structured Speaking Practice and sometimes Free Conversation, and I always really enjoy our lessons. She creates such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time giving really helpful corrections and suggestions. I especially appreciate the detailed written feedback after each lesson, which is extremely useful. Our Free Conversation lessons always feel very natural, and we discuss a wide range of interesting and varied topics. This has not only helped me expand my vocabulary, but also improved my fluency and, most importantly, my confidence when speaking English. The Structured Speaking Practice lessons are just as enjoyable and effective. Each session is thoughtfully structured—balancing speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary practice in a perfect way. Ariadne is professional, punctual, always well-prepared, and I can recommend her without any hesitation.

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!

    Eja is an amazing teacher! I’ve had more than 10 lessons with her since July, and I can already see a huge difference in my English. I use English every day at work, and not only do I feel much more confident, but my coworkers have also noticed my progress! Her lessons are completely personalized, and she explains everything step by step with patience and without any judgment. She brings great supporting materials, gives constant feedback, and pays attention to even the smallest details, from pronunciation to making your sentences sound more natural. What I love most is that you can actually see your progress. You always know what you’re improving and what you still need to work on. She also has such a wonderful energy that makes you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes.

At the same time, she encourages her strengths and helps her become more confident in speaking English. The lessons are well structured but never boring, and I can see clear progress in both my daughter’s language skills and confidence.

    I highly recommend her as an English teacher. What I value most is how well she customizes each class to the specific needs of the student. She takes the time to understand not only your level of English, but also your professional context, communication challenges, and specific goals. Her approach is very practical and focused on real situations. She quickly identifies what you need to improve and provides simple, effective techniques that you can immediately apply. I especially appreciate how she helps me communicate complex ideas in a clearer, more concise and natural way, particularly in professional presentations. She is an excellent listener, very attentive to detail, and genuinely committed to helping her students improve. Every class feels relevant and tailored specifically to me rather than following a standard lesson plan. Overall, she has helped me become more confident and effective when communicating in English, and I would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions

How can I get fluent in English?

You can get fluent in English through consistent speaking practice with an English tutor who provides structured conversation and immediate feedback.

An online English tutor helps you build fluency by correcting mistakes in real time, teaching natural phrasing, and giving you regular opportunities to speak. They identify patterns holding you back and help you communicate confidently in real situations.

Most learners reach conversational fluency in 6–12 months with 3–4 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can adjust lessons to focus on the speaking skills you need most.

How can I learn English online?

You can learn English online by combining lessons with an online English tutor and regular self-study practice.

Working with an English tutor online gives you personalized feedback, speaking practice, and guidance tailored to your goals. Between lessons, reinforce what you’ve learned through activities like watching shows, reading, listening to podcasts, or using language apps.

Most learners see steady progress by scheduling 2–3 sessions per week of online English tutoring and practicing for 20–30 minutes a day. Your English tutor can also recommend resources based on what you’re working on in lessons.

Are the English classes and courses suitable for beginners?

Yes, our English classes and courses are suitable for beginners. We understand that everyone has different learning levels and goals, and our experienced English teachers can adjust their teaching methods accordingly. Our beginner-level classes focus on building a strong foundation in the English language, including basic grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Our teachers use various teaching techniques such as interactive activities, games, and multimedia resources to make the learning process fun and engaging.

Additionally, our one-on-one lessons allow beginners to receive personalized attention and guidance from their teacher. Our online platform also offers flexibility, which means that beginners can choose a suitable time and pace that suits their learning needs. Whether you are starting from scratch or have some prior knowledge of English, our classes and courses are tailored to meet your needs and help you progress to the next level.

How can I develop my English speaking skills?

You can develop your English speaking skills by working with an English tutor who specializes in conversation practice.

An online English tutor helps you improve by giving you opportunities to speak in every lesson, correcting pronunciation and grammar immediately, and teaching natural expressions used in real conversations. Regular English lessons build confidence and help you respond more naturally without overthinking.

Most learners see noticeable improvement with 2–3 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can tailor lessons to practice the situations you need, whether professional communication, casual conversation, or presentations.

Where can I find an English tutor?

You can find an online English tutor directly on italki’s Teacher Search page, where you’ll find over 4,000 certified English teachers for every need; whether you’re improving pronunciation, preparing for IELTS, or advancing your career.

All lessons take place online, so you can connect with an English tutor from anywhere, whether you’re at home, traveling, or between commitments. You aren’t limited to local options; you can choose from certified English teachers from all over the world, and tutors who specialize in your goals.

Use the filters to browse English tutors by price, availability, and specialization. Book a trial lesson to find the right fit, then schedule regular English lessons that suit your schedule.

Can you learn English without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn English without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with an English tutor.

An English tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online English tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine English tutoring with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How do I find a good English tutor on italki ?

Finding a good English tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, and read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good English teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Yes, italki offers English tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

Whatever your goal, there’s an English tutor for it.

How much does an English tutor cost?

Many learners choose private English tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find an English tutor that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online English lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is it worth getting an English tutor?

Yes, getting an English tutor is worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your English learning.

English tutoring is especially useful when you need guidance that adapts to your goals. With an online English tutor, you can focus on what matters most to you, rather than following a fixed course. An English tutor can help because:

  • 🎯 Lessons are tailored to your needs, whether it’s English lessons for beginners or English conversation classes
  • ✅ You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • 🗣️ One-on-one sessions give you more time to speak and practice actively.
  • ⚡ Tutors adjust your English lessons and pace based on how you learn

Many learners combine online English tutoring with self-study, such as podcasts or reading, to reinforce what they learn and stay consistent between lessons.

Why should I use an English tutor to learn English with italki?

Your English tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for proficiency exams like IELTS or TOEFL, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the English lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online English lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on English conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional English tutors for foundational skills and community English tutors for speaking practice.
