une approche structurée mais très vivante At formal lessons I work with various textbooks as well as with my own materials. We can focus mostly on communication and listening comprehension or choose a more general approach towards learning. At informal conversation classes I make you talk as much as possible asking you lots of questions and correcting you in the chat so that you're able to review everything on your own afterwards. I can also make extra voice recordings if asked. Я хороший методист и работаю системно и последовательно по определённой программе, которая выстраивается с учётом ваших пожеланий. Часто с фокусом на эффективную коммуникацию и быстрое достижение уровня выживания. Времязатратные вещи даю в качестве д/з.

Playful, immersive learning through creativity, games, stories, music, and meaningful conversation. Over the years, I’ve worked with infants and young children (from 6 months old), children and teenagers in group and 1-1 settings, families and homeschoolers, neurodivergent children, and adults who want to truly live a language, not just study it. My teaching style is playful, immersive, and deeply human. I believe languages are learned best when curiosity comes before correctness, communication matters more than perfection, and learners feel safe, relaxed, and engaged. As a teacher, I focus on creating encouraging spaces where students can take risks, make mistakes, and build real confidence using the language.

Children and Adults ✨TEFL certified teacher with over 8 years of experience Hi! I’ve been teaching English in the Czech Republic for over nine years, working with students of all ages. I’m a relaxed, friendly teacher who loves helping people build their confidence and improve their English skills. I’ve taught in a variety of settings—museums, classrooms, schools, and online. I spent two years teaching kindergarten before moving on to teaching online. Now, I teach kids and adults on italki, and I love it! I’m really curious about a lot of things, which makes me a great conversation partner. If there’s a topic you would like to practice discussing in English, I’d be happy to help. I personally enjoy talking about art, literature, philosophy, travel, sports etc! I like to describe myself as a fun, inviting, and encouraging teacher. I understand that learning a new language can be scary and uncomfortable. I like to keep my classroom structured, but lighthearted. While I focus on helping you make real progress through planned lessons, I want to make sure it never feels like a strict, boring classroom. Most importantly, I want to work with you on accessing and implementing your goals. If you have any questions or concerns about pricing or lessons in general, please write to me. I actively offer lessons at a discount to best accommodate your needs. I look forward to learning with you in the future! :)

💡 To touch the mind, invariably we must first touch the heart; learning English is no different. ❤ Welcome to my 1500-character teacher introduction space on italki! What follows is a little bit about me... I was born in Hong Kong to a British father, a Fijian mother, and, having spent large swathes of my life in parts of the globe as far-flung as the Middle East and South America, could be considered myself a mongrel child of the world! I have been teaching adults and children English as a Second Language (ESL), English Language, and English Literature since 2005. I had worked in-person at schools over the course of 15 years until 2020 when I started teaching English online, and have been a teacher on the italki since 2021. In terms of my teaching style, I like to build a close and comfortable rapport with my students, whilst respecting the personal boundaries that any successful relationship must enjoy. I love to dive deep on themes, topics, and the quintessential questions of life and meaning in all its forms. Learning English shouldn't simply be about language mechanics, it's a learning journey that should be an enriching educational experience. I endeavour to offer integral English lessons that address individual needs from the bottom-up, filling in any knowledge gaps along the way. I strive to inject you with confidence, positive energy, & eternal optimism. I hope to exchange wisdom, and make you feel more alive when we finish class than you did when we started. Questions? DM me! Otherwise, go ahead and book a trial lesson and we'll go from there! 🌠

💥Experienced & Certified Teacher: Guides English, IELTS & Music Learning for Kids & Adults 💥 As an English teacher, my approach is focused on empowering my students to develop their language skills and achieve fluency. I prioritize my students' language goals and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. I believe that making mistakes is a crucial part of the learning process, and I'm happy to provide repetition as needed. However, I also understand that overcorrecting students can be counterproductive, and thus I encourage students to practice using correct structures in their own examples, helping them to achieve fluency more efficiently. You are the most important part of our lessons, and I'm committed to helping you reach your full potential.

Hello everybody! My name is Irina, I am from Moscow and currently living in Milan, Italy. I graduated from Moscow State Linguistic University in 2010. My passion has always been teaching. After having graduated, I started my teaching career at the same university and also at Moscow State University. In 2016 I got the certificate of teaching Russian to foreigners. In 2020 I got CELTA certificate (pass A). My teaching experience is more than 10 years and I offer lessons of Russian and English to young learners, teenagers and adults of all levels. I have learnt 5 foreign languages and I know exactly how it feels to learn a foreign language. I try to open a new world for all my students, and, obviously, I think that studying process is impossible without a good sense of humour. I support my students and do my best to make them feel really comfortable during our classes. Я сама выучила пять иностранных языков, и прекрасно знаю, что это такое - быть студентом и изучать новый язык. Я стараюсь открыть новую культуру и новы мир своим студентам, конечно же, я считаю, что процесс обучения невозможен без хорошей доли чувства юмора. Я поддерживаю своих студентов и делаю всё возможное, чтобы процесс обучения был максимально приятным. My teaching methods vary and are based on students' needs and goals. I take into consideration students' motivation, background and type of learners. Regarding learning materials, here I also take into account a lot of factors combining all the aspects.

    Ben speaks remarkably clear and refined English, making him very easy to follow. He has a wonderful personality, he is incredibly kind, patient, and truly cares about his students’ progress. He also speaks fluent natural Japanese with a beautiful very clear accent. With his deep understanding of Japanese culture, he intuitively understands where Japanese learners might struggle and makes it easy to ask any questions in Japanese whenever needed. He has my highest recommendation!

  • Rostislav

    I had my 377th lesson with Ed today, and it’s incredible how consistently high the quality of his teaching remains. He’s always looking for new, effective ways to make our lessons even better. His support goes beyond the lessons themselves—he also prepares review materials and tools to help me practise between sessions. I really appreciate the care and effort he puts into my learning. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English!

  • Kirill

I used to be super anxious about making mistakes, but he creates such a friendly and relaxed environment that I actually look forward to our further conversations. Thanks a lot for the interesting lessons!

    James is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person. During our first lesson, he asked about my goals and suggested a plan. In our lessons, we work a lot on preparing for business interviews and learning how to talk about my work experience and projects. One of my main problems is nervousness. It is very difficult for me to answer unexpected questions. I start mixing up tenses and using the same words again and again. James helps me deal with my nervousness in a calm and friendly way. He also helps me sound more confident in English. It was especially important for me that he corrected my mistakes and pronunciation instead of only saying, “You’re doing great.” This really helps me improve and grow. I also really like the friendly and comfortable atmosphere during the lessons. We can laugh about some things, and this helps me stay involved and enjoy the learning process.

    Adam is turning into my English coach more than my English teacher. His new method aims to teach you a new way of learning a language. The ultimate goal of his classes is for you to become an independent student. He wants you to learn how to learn by yourself. The key point is to understand how the process of learning a language works and take advantage of it. Not only do his classes have plenty of content, but he also shows you a refreshing way of making notes, reviewing them, and making connections to transform all your passive English into active English. I've started using power tools like Anki, Obsidian, Youglish, Readlang and English-Corpora, a whole set of resources to take my English to the next level.

    My 8-year-old daughter Anna had her first introductory lesson with Tom, and it was brilliant. Tom was very patient, friendly and funny, which helped Anna feel comfortable right away. The lesson was engaging, and the material was well structured and perfectly suited to her level. I was also particularly impressed by Tom’s pronunciation. In my opinion, he has a very clear and easy-to-understand pronunciation, which is especially valuable for children who are learning English.

  • Matthias Paul

    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.

    Smith老师是一位很好的老师,在跟着老师学习之前,我英语基础很差,很难开口说完整句子,目前距离第一次试课不到20天,上了5次课,加上日常练习和完成作业,已经可以针对一个话题说2-3分钟的口语(其实五分钟以上也可以)。Smith老师的一些学习方法也给了我一些深入学习英语的启发 非常非常幸运能遇到Smith老师 I initially came to italki because I felt completely stuck when trying to speak English out, and practicing on my own just wasn't working. Mrs. Smith is incredibly patient. She customizes the lessons based on my specific needs and speaks at a perfect pace. Whenever I don't understand something, she always finds a different way to explain it until I get it. She also makes sure to send me the lesson documents after class. After less than 20 days of learning with her, combined with my own practice, I can now speak continuously for 2-3 minutes on a given topic. She also taught me some highly effective learning methods, like how to internalize new language chunks into my own expressions. I am so grateful for Mrs. Smith's help. Thanks to her, learning English has actually become one of my hobbies now.

    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!
