The best online English conversation tutors

Certified English Teacher • World Traveller • Cross-Cultural Communicator Hi! I'm Ksenia, a certified English teacher with over 11 years of teaching experience. My journey with English started early: I attended a boarding school in England as a child and later got my Bachelor's degree from an American university. Since then, English has become not just my profession, but a big part of my life. Over the years, I've taught English both online and in classrooms while living and working abroad. Meeting people from different cultures has helped me become a more open-minded teacher and communicate effectively with students from all over the world. I believe that language is about connection, not just grammar. That's why my lessons are practical, engaging, and focused on real-life communication. Whether you're learning English for work, travel, exams, or everyday life, I'll tailor every lesson to your goals, interests, and learning style. You can expect a relaxed atmosphere, clear explanations, plenty of speaking practice, and personalized feedback to help you build confidence and make steady progress. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your English goals!

I'd like to share my culture and language with you. I graduated from university as a translator. I've always been passionate about language learning, and now it's my absolute privilege and pleasure to help you learn Russian, my mother tongue. As a community tutor, I'd like to focus mostly on conversation practice, but we can also work on grammar and phonetics whenever you need it. I prefer a more relaxed, casual teaching style. Personally, I wouldn't concentrate too much on grammar, since it can be quite stressful and confusing.

Certified Arabic teacher has a bachelor's degree in Arabic literature plus a diploma in teaching. Isn't it annoying when you are talking to your teacher and you are thinking about grammar, or you know that you made a mistake but your teacher isn't correcting you? I know I hate it. It's a waste of time and money. In our lessons, I will ALWAYS correct you, by writing down or interrupting to tell you this was mispronounced, grammatically incorrect or if it doesn’t sound right or natural. I have experience in teaching non-native Arabic speakers. I have taught many students and they all loved the language. I can teach children and adults in a simple and uncomplicated way. I am patient and friendly. I am flexible, I don't have a problem if a student asks me to change the topic or reschedule

IELTS, TOEFL, and General Conversation I was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City. I earned a B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing from The University of Wisconsin- Madison. For over a decade I worked in the New York Television and Film Industry. My hobbies include watching television and film, reading, cycling, hiking, and traveling. For over a decade I have taught students of all ages and levels. My experience includes, but is not limited to, working as an IELTS teacher in Vietnam, a Conversational English Tutor at The University of Wisconsin- Madison, a New York Public School Substitute Teacher, and a Remedial Grammar teacher at a New York Community College. I believe the student should speak for about 75% of the class time. I genuinely enjoy improving my students' pronunciation. If necessary, I break down the words and syllables to the smallest sounds, so that the students know exactly what they need to improve. I do NOT teach Bu$iness English.

I worked before as an English teacher for children for 6 months as well as teaching English Hebrew and Arabic for more than 4 years so far. I know a lot of slang expressions that can be used in daily conversation, besides, I have been working as a technical support employee for 7 month for apple company and vodafone UK so I handled UK and israel customers, that means I have huge experience in English and Hebrew.
