Bringing out the best in every student Each student is a precious gem. My goals: making every lesson effective and enjoyable; boosting the students' confidence; working on topics that really matter to them. Ogni persona è una gemma preziosa. L'idea è di rendere ogni lezione interessante e proficua, con focus specifico sugli argomenti e sugli aspetti linguistici che contano davvero per lo studente. Chaque individu est un bijou. Je préfère une approche détendue, afin de faciliter l'interaction avec l'étudiant, pour que l'apprentissage soit plus efficace et plus agréable. Acho que um jeito descontraído na interação com os estudantes seja a melhor maneira de tornar a aprendizagem mais eficaz e agradável.

Teaching 11 languages, currently learning 3 more, 20+ years of experience as a teacher Hello! My name is Thomas, a multilingual teacher fluent in 11 languages—with German and Slovenian as my native tongues and with a lifelong passion for studying new ones (I’m currently learning 3). With 25 years of teaching experience (20 as an independent tutor), I specialize in structured, school-style lessons tailored to your goals. Whether you’re starting from scratch or polishing fluency, I’ll help you build and improve skills systematically. When teaching I take my work seriously. A scheduled lesson becomes part of my weekly plan and I get ready for it. I conduct a detailed journal of what we have been doing, thus it is easy for me to check the content of our previous sessions. I used to teach students in physical classrooms. In 2021 I started using Skype for my lessons (today it's Teams) and things work out very well. I am always punctual as I respect the time my students take for our lessons, likewise I do appreciate if my students do the same. My lessons can be conducted in any of the following languages: German Slovenian English French Swedish Danish Norwegian Italian Spanish Dutch Esperanto I try to conduct my lessons in a way that resembles the conventional school as much as possible. Meaning a thorough explanation of the grammar with several carefully tailored examples, exercises, homework, checking the student's progress, listening and reading comprehensions and once the student's knowledge progresses sufficiently, having a conversation.

From Hawaii: Native English for Confident, Natural Conversations Hi! I'm Knives, a friendly native English speaker from Hawaii 🌺 I'm currently planning an exciting move to Japan to study the language and culture. I'm a language learner too, so I totally get the challenges (and fun!) of picking up new skills. I love chatting about travel, ancient history, cultures, science, fitness, and whatever interests you! Teaching English online lets me connect with people from all over the world while keeping things relaxed and enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner who's nervous about speaking or more advanced and wanting to sound natural and confident, I'm here to help you every step. I have a strong vocabulary and I'm especially good at helping with pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary expansion (moving beyond the same words all the time), as well as preparing you for a job interview or resume writing! As a teacher, I'm all about creating a supportive, pressure-free space. I'm patient, easy-going, and encouraging, and I do love sharing alternative words and phrases so you can sound more natural and professional. My lessons are relaxed and light-hearted — expect games, jokes, real-life practice, friendly corrections, and plenty of laughs! Many students say they feel much more confident and comfortable speaking after just a few lessons with me. My goal is simple: help you make real progress while actually having fun along the way! 🎉 I hope to see you soon!

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.

You’ll find English tutors for beginners, English tutors for kids, and English tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, English grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC) and business English. Whatever your goal, there’s an English tutor for it.

How much does an English tutor cost?

English tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

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?

Using an English tutor on italki helps you learn the English you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

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.

How do italki's online English classes work?

italki’s online English classes are simple, flexible, and personalized:

  1. 📝 Browse tutors – After creating an account, browse through qualified English tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  2. 🎯 Choose your tutor – Filter by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type to find a tutor that fits your goals and schedule. Many offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  3. 💻 Book and attend lessons – Once you book a lesson, you’ll meet your online English tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss your objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  4. ⏱️ Learn at your pace – Classes are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like. Between lessons, tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress learning English online.

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.

Where can I get an English tutor near me?

You can get an English tutor near you by using italki’s location filter to browse tutors from your country or region.

You can also explore English tutors in major cities like:

All lessons take place online through italki Classroom, providing personalized and convenient English tutoring wherever you are.
