Hi, I’m Loki, a top 1% teacher on iTalki.
I’m from the UK, but now I’m based in Berlin. During the last few years I’ve helped hundreds of students like you to 'upgrade' their English. As well as being a qualified tutor, I was the editor of a music magazine for around 10 years, so I’m really into language, music and anything creative. I can help you with British or American English, or both!
Me as a Teacher
As you can see, I'm a TEFL-certified English teacher with a Cambridge English certificate in IELTS preparation and a background in music journalism. My experience is primarily in one-on-one teaching, so my students and I achieve great results here on iTalki. Exactly what we’ll do together depends on your level and goals, but I can help you with fluency, grammar, pronunciation, IELTS, business English, written documents (CVs, letters, etc) and much more. I believe that everyone should feel safe and comfortable while learning. My classes are LGBTQ+ friendly and open to all.
My lessons & teaching style
Speaking practice – It might sound basic, but you must speak and listen if you want to take your skills to the next level.
Grammar – I’ve created my own guides on tricky topics like past tense, conditionals, phrasal verbs, articles and tons more.
Pronunciation – We’ll look at minimal pairs, r-controlled vowels, -ed endings and other areas where many people have problems.
IELTS Preparation – As you can see on my profile, I have a Cambridge English certificate that allows me to prepare students for the IELTS exam.
Business English – I can teach you essential work vocabulary, key phrases for meetings, email writing and more, or we even do interview preparation.
Documents – CV, resume, etc

I’m very happy with my choice of Loki as an English teacher. Every lesson is informative, interesting, friendly and adopted for my needs and level. Loki is interested in progress and really makes efforts to achieve results. Also, as a native English speaker, Loki can explain language logic and teach you to use really native constructions.

Loki, such an astute teacher. I really look forward to every lesson with him. Not only can I talk about so many interesting topics with Loki, he always gives me direct feedback on my speaking style, pronunciation and correctness of my sentences. I really make a lot of progress with Loki and when he mirrors this back to me, I feel very encouraged. It's a great learning experience.

I appreciate our lessons! Loki gives lots of useful information about not only how to speak or write correctly but how to do it more natural. Also he always explains why it is so and gives interesting facts about history, culture or linguistic. Loki is an open-minded, calm and positive person. Talking to him is a great joy for me :)

Another productive lesson in written English as always. Loki pays attention to details that many teachers usually overlook. Working with him is highly stimulating. Thank you and Happy New Year!

I usually don't write reviews after the first session, but this time I felt compelled to do so because I was left with a genuinely positive impression. Beyond just being highly professional, Loki is easy to talk to, positive, honest, and friendly. It's clear that he really enjoys his job, finds pleasure in the process, and genuinely wants to help his students. I needed to edit a journalistic article. In addition to catching typical grammatical errors, Loki also paid attention to stylistic nuances, provided examples of usage, and suggested corrections. You can feel the editorial expertise. I really appreciated that. Thanks for the excellent work!
