Certified English & Portuguese Teacher | Helping You Speak with Confidence ✅ Hey, I’m Edson — a Mozambican tutor with 4+ years of experience teaching English and Portuguese, combined with real-world knowledge from finance, history, travel, culture, business, education, technology, and everyday life. My specialty? Transforming conversations into confidence. Whether you’re learning for work, travel, or everyday life, I’ll help you speak naturally and fluently through engaging discussions. As a language learner myself, I know how frustrating it can feel — but mistakes are part of the journey. In my classes, we laugh, learn, and practice until speaking feels effortless. Ready to turn your words into confidence and sound like a pro? Let’s get started! I have 4 years of experience helping students improve their conversational English and Portuguese. My focus is always on building confidence — because the more you speak with me, the more natural and comfortable you’ll feel using the language in any situation. In my classes, you won’t just listen to explanations; you’ll actively participate in conversations and guided discussions. This talkative, interactive approach ensures that you practice real communication, not just theory. My goal is simple: to help you express yourself with clarity and confidence, whether in everyday conversations, lessons, or professional settings. My classes are all about speaking from day one. I believe the fastest way to learn a language is by using it in real, meaningful conversations.

Pharmacist & Science Teacher | TESOL Certified | Medical & Scientific English Specialist My name is Melissa and I am a TESOL certified English teacher from Southern California with a 5-star rating and over 1000 lessons on italki. What sets me apart: I hold a doctorate in pharmacy, an undergraduate degree in biology, and a science teaching credential. I spent years as a clinical pharmacist and have been teaching chemistry for nine years. This gives me a highly specialized vocabulary in science and medicine that most English teachers simply don't have. I work with science and medical professionals looking to improve their professional English, and with intermediate to advanced learners who want to build fluency and real command of the language. I also host a podcast that teaches English in context to non-native speakers. My classroom is always a comfortable, judgment-free space. I'm patient and friendly, and I give feedback in a constructive way so you never feel afraid to make mistakes. Lessons are flexible and always student-centered. We build fluency through conversation and reading articles aloud — which improves pronunciation while exposing you to new vocabulary and grammar structures. We can also prepare for presentations, review your written work, or practice for job or school interviews. I am a native speaker with a neutral American accent. Let's get to work!

"The limits of my language means the limits of my world" ~ Wittgenstein I am a CELTA qualified English teacher with 8 years of experience teaching all different levels and both children and adults. I have taught formally in academies in Spain, on a pre-sessional course at a UK university, in Austrian schools, and here online. Successful learning requires curiosity, listening and perseverance, both from the teacher and the student. As a teacher, I aim to provide exactly this (as well as encouragement, corrections/feedback and knowledge). Learning should be enjoyable, but it is not always easy. As your teacher, I hope to make improving your English as smooth and enjoyable as possible and to help you achieve your objectives, whatever they may be.

Certified teacher ready to help you learn Indonesian! Currently only open schedule on Monday/Thursday/Friday upon request. Message me for further info :) Hello ! You can call me Vera and I am a native Indonesian speaker from Surabaya. I work as an academic in a university. I have been teaching professionally both online and in class for more than 10 years. My experience in teaching many backgrounds (from kids to adults) is one of my strengths, therefore, I am able to create effective and innovative materials for my prospective students. I have years of experience in teaching both English and Indonesian for expatriates and foreign students since 2010. Currently, I am learning French, German, and Polish, thus, I know the challenges in learning new languages which are totally different from our mother tongue. For me, learning language is not only about grammar and structure but also about its culture. By immersing yourself in Indonesian culture and its context will help you understand more about this language. Learning language should be fun! I will accommodate your preferences in learning based on your requests. I use many tools from textbook, video files, PPT, articles/news, and/or assign you with homework if you want to. Kids and adults are welcome :) Sampai jumpa di kelas! P.S. Please consult with me if you want a specific and/or intensive schedule, I can send you a lesson invitation from Italki (if you can't find any available schedule)

    I have been taking weekly classes with Ariadne for more than a year now, sometimes choosing Structured Speaking Practice and sometimes Free Conversation, and I always really enjoy our lessons. She creates such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time giving really helpful corrections and suggestions. I especially appreciate the detailed written feedback after each lesson, which is extremely useful. Our Free Conversation lessons always feel very natural, and we discuss a wide range of interesting and varied topics. This has not only helped me expand my vocabulary, but also improved my fluency and, most importantly, my confidence when speaking English. The Structured Speaking Practice lessons are just as enjoyable and effective. Each session is thoughtfully structured—balancing speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary practice in a perfect way. Ariadne is professional, punctual, always well-prepared, and I can recommend her without any hesitation.

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!

Frequently asked questions

How can I get fluent in English?

You can get fluent in English through consistent speaking practice with an English tutor who provides structured conversation and immediate feedback.

An online English tutor helps you build fluency by correcting mistakes in real time, teaching natural phrasing, and giving you regular opportunities to speak. They identify patterns holding you back and help you communicate confidently in real situations.

Most learners reach conversational fluency in 6–12 months with 3–4 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can adjust lessons to focus on the speaking skills you need most.

How can I learn English online?

You can learn English online by combining lessons with an online English tutor and regular self-study practice.

Working with an English tutor online gives you personalized feedback, speaking practice, and guidance tailored to your goals. Between lessons, reinforce what you’ve learned through activities like watching shows, reading, listening to podcasts, or using language apps.

Most learners see steady progress by scheduling 2–3 sessions per week of online English tutoring and practicing for 20–30 minutes a day. Your English tutor can also recommend resources based on what you’re working on in lessons.

Are the English classes and courses suitable for beginners?

Yes, our English classes and courses are suitable for beginners. We understand that everyone has different learning levels and goals, and our experienced English teachers can adjust their teaching methods accordingly. Our beginner-level classes focus on building a strong foundation in the English language, including basic grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Our teachers use various teaching techniques such as interactive activities, games, and multimedia resources to make the learning process fun and engaging.

Additionally, our one-on-one lessons allow beginners to receive personalized attention and guidance from their teacher. Our online platform also offers flexibility, which means that beginners can choose a suitable time and pace that suits their learning needs. Whether you are starting from scratch or have some prior knowledge of English, our classes and courses are tailored to meet your needs and help you progress to the next level.

How can I develop my English speaking skills?

You can develop your English speaking skills by working with an English tutor who specializes in conversation practice.

An online English tutor helps you improve by giving you opportunities to speak in every lesson, correcting pronunciation and grammar immediately, and teaching natural expressions used in real conversations. Regular English lessons build confidence and help you respond more naturally without overthinking.

Most learners see noticeable improvement with 2–3 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can tailor lessons to practice the situations you need, whether professional communication, casual conversation, or presentations.

Where can I find an English tutor?

You can find an online English tutor directly on italki’s Teacher Search page, where you’ll find over 4,000 certified English teachers for every need; whether you’re improving pronunciation, preparing for IELTS, or advancing your career.

All lessons take place online, so you can connect with an English tutor from anywhere, whether you’re at home, traveling, or between commitments. You aren’t limited to local options; you can choose from certified English teachers from all over the world, and tutors who specialize in your goals.

Use the filters to browse English tutors by price, availability, and specialization. Book a trial lesson to find the right fit, then schedule regular English lessons that suit your schedule.

Can you learn English without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn English without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with an English tutor.

An English tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online English tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine English tutoring with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How do I find a good English tutor on italki ?

Finding a good English tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, and read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good English teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Yes, italki offers English tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find English tutors for beginners, English tutors for kids, and English tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, English grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC) and business English. Whatever your goal, there’s an English tutor for it.

How much does an English tutor cost?

English tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private English tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find an English tutor that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online English lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is it worth getting an English tutor?

Yes, getting an English tutor is worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your English learning.

English tutoring is especially useful when you need guidance that adapts to your goals. With an online English tutor, you can focus on what matters most to you, rather than following a fixed course. An English tutor can help because:

  • 🎯 Lessons are tailored to your needs, whether it’s English lessons for beginners or English conversation classes
  • ✅ You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • 🗣️ One-on-one sessions give you more time to speak and practice actively.
  • ⚡ Tutors adjust your English lessons and pace based on how you learn

Many learners combine online English tutoring with self-study, such as podcasts or reading, to reinforce what they learn and stay consistent between lessons.

Why should I use an English tutor to learn English with italki?

Using an English tutor on italki helps you learn the English you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your English tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for proficiency exams like IELTS or TOEFL, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the English lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online English lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on English conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional English tutors for foundational skills and community English tutors for speaking practice.
