  • Anna

    Learning Japanese

    italki is perfect for people who have little time, not enough budget to pay for a private tutor, and especially people who like the idea of talking with people from all around the world.

  • Yonathan

    Learning Japanese

    Two months have passed since I first started and I can say that I have seen great leaps forward in my Japanese. Since my first lesson with my tutor, I realized that he would help me improve exponentially.

  • Celso

    Learning English

    I have noticed a significant improvement in the way I learn English. I have even already had some interviews in English, something that was not possible a few months ago.

  • Joan

    Learning Chinese (Cantonese)

    My skepticism was related to finding a tutor who would be flexible and encouraging but this was quickly erased after my first session when I could see that the tutor was hard working and very encouraging and understanding.

  • Cassie

    Learning Italian

    I have completed five lessons and am amazed at how much I have already learned. Not only does my teacher converse with me in Italian she also sends me worksheets and small sound clips that I work on at my own pace.

  • Gianni

    Learning English

    The results were exciting, I saw improvement in my ability to speak and understand exponentially and now I feel much more comfortable when I have to speak English.

  • Andy

    Learning English

    It was a huge success, I not only was able to practice my English, but found confidence in my own English abilities.

    Learning English

    Through my own studies and the help of italki's tutors, I was able to receive a score of 7.5 on my first IELTS test.

  • Lindalva

    Learning French

    I was a little bit skeptical in the beginning. I was used to studying with books and I was missing this. However, I quickly realized that it was the best tool I have ever found.
