About Me
italki teacher since Aug 30, 2021InterestsWritingFoodHistoryTravelPets & Animals
I am a certified English teacher with 17 years of experience teaching adults, teens, and children, both in person and online.
I specialize in helping students speak naturally and confidently, whether they are improving everyday conversation or building a strong grammar foundation.
I work with:
• Adults who want real conversational fluency
• Students who need structured General English
• Kids and teens learning through stories, films, and creative activities
My goal is simple: clear progress, strong speaking skills, and lessons that feel engaging — not mechanical.Me as a Teacher
My lessons are structured, focused, and efficient. I respect your time and make sure every class moves you forward.
I correct mistakes clearly and directly, while keeping the environment supportive and encouraging. You will always understand what needs improvement and how to fix it.
Every student is different. I adapt lessons to your goals, level, and personality so that your learning feels relevant and practical. My lessons & teaching style

Lana is a fantastic teacher. I've been taking lessons from her for a long time. You can chat with her however you like; she encourages and motivates you to speak.
She explains grammar topics very well and tracks your progress.
