About Me
italki teacher since Oct 25, 2017InterestsTravelWritingFood
Thank you for visiting my iTalki profile! My name is Lana, and I’m a qualified UK primary school teacher with eight years of experience teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) online, after seven years of in-person teaching in language schools and primary schools.
I’ve taught in mainstream UK schools, a highly-regarded preparatory school in London, and an international school in Hong Kong, working with both adults and children. My background as a primary school teacher helps me create structured, engaging lessons to improve your speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills.
Let’s work together to achieve your English language goals!Me as a Teacher
I value each student as an individual and strive to make my classes inclusive and enjoyable. I believe the best learning happens when we're having fun!
I transitioned to online teaching with italki in 2017. Online teaching has given me the flexibility to continue doing what I love whilst balancing family life. 👪
I've taught over 120 students and completed more than 1,900 lessons on italki. Some of my amazing students have been with me from the start, and it’s been a privilege to watch them grow and improve their English over the past 8 years.My lessons & teaching style
Most of my students start with a trial lesson where we can get to know each other and determine if I’m the right tutor for you or your child. Please message me before the trial lesson so I can plan the best lesson tailored to your needs.
📣 I teach during the English school term-time, which means I don’t teach during English school holidays, such as the two weeks over Easter, two weeks over Christmas, and the month of August.
I have 16 years of teaching experience, including:
2 years teaching in English primary schools.
8 years teaching online.
2 years as an English teacher in an international school in Hong Kong.
4 years teaching EFL, including 1 year in Japan.My teaching material

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.

Lana is an excellent teacher. It has already been five years since my daughter started having classes with her. She has always been kind, attentive and sensitive with my daughter. We were very lucky to find her. Regarding her teaching abilities, it couldn't be better. In addition to being a professional teacher, she is always worried about finding interesting subjects for her students: things that they want to talk about or have an interest in to learn more about.

Lana is a professional teacher with extreme tender and patience. She slimes all the time and could help my child open her mouth to speak.

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!
