Experienced and Qualified Teacher for Children and Adults. Thank you for visiting my iTalki profile. I am Lana, a certified UK primary school teacher with 16 years of teaching experience, including nine years specialising in online English as a Foreign Language (EFL) tuition. My professional background includes seven years of in-person teaching across a range of educational settings, including mainstream UK schools, a prestigious preparatory school in London, and an international school in Hong Kong. I have worked with both children and adult learners. My expertise as a primary educator enables me to deliver well-structured, interactive lessons designed to develop speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills. I value each student as an individual and strive to make my classes inclusive and enjoyable. I believe the best learning happens when we are having fun! I transitioned to online teaching with italki in 2017, which has given me the flexibility to continue doing what I love while balancing family life. I have taught over 130 students and completed more than 1,900 lessons on italki. Many of my students stay with me for years, building confidence and making consistent progress through personalised support. Please message me if you can’t see suitable availability on my calendar, and I’ll do my best to open a new slot for you. Most students begin with a trial lesson so we can get to know each other and decide if I’m the right tutor for you or your child. Please message me before the trial lesson so I can plan a session tailor...

Edward is always so happy and engaged in Lana's lessons. After today's class, he suddenly asked me, 'Mom, how did you find such an amazing teacher?' I told him I searched through thousands of profiles on italki to find the perfect match! He said, 'I love Teacher Lana because she encourages me no matter what I say.' You can really feel that Lana is not just professional and experienced, but she truly finds joy in teaching. She has incredible patience with children. For a child starting their English journey, spark and guidance are everything. I highly recommend Lana to everyone!

For a long time until my little one became a high school student, we consistently trusted and relied on Lana. She has always valued time and kept her promise, and I trust her very much in every way that she has set a good example for my child. Ms. Lana, I hope you stay healthy and have a happy time with your family until we meet again!

Lana is the best teacher I’ve found on italki! With her early education background and experience teaching in top schools in the UK, Hong Kong, and Japan, she combines a perfect British accent, a naturally warm and clear voice, and genuine patience and love for children. From the very first lesson, I was impressed—she managed to cover vocabulary, sentences, reading, and phonics all within half an hour, making every minute count. That’s why I immediately booked as many lessons as possible. My child says Lana is the prettiest teacher and her absolute favorite—she always looks forward to class!

Lana is our kid's teacher for months now and I can confidently say that our daughter (6y) loves her. She keeps asking for longer lessons. Lana combines teaching English with the primary school curriculum so it is 2 birds with one stone.

We were recommended to Lana by a friend whose 5-year-old daughter has been taking her classes for a long time and absolutely loves them. My son is 12, and without a doubt, he was captivated by Lana from the very first lesson. He genuinely enjoys learning English with her because she makes it so interesting. She is truly a gifted and talented teacher.
