CELTA-certified teacher and IELTS trainer (IDP) with 15 years of experience My passion lies in IELTS/exam preparation, and I enjoy the unique challenges that language learning brings. Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of learners, including students aiming for higher scores for university admission or emigration, those who need to pass the exam quickly, as well as anyone looking to improve their overall English skills. How we’ll work: 1. IELTS Strategy: We’ll work on understanding how the exam is assessed, what separates a Band 6 response from a Band 7+ one, and which common mistakes lower scores even for strong English speakers. Success in IELTS is not only about your level of English, but also about understanding exactly what the exam requires and how the scoring criteria work. 2. Structured English Practice: Lessons are built around developing specific skills rather than simply having general conversation. Depending on your goals, we may work with coursebooks, news articles, videos, or other authentic materials to improve grammar, vocabulary, fluency, accuracy, and overall confidence in English. 3. Collaborative Lessons: I use your preferred video platform together with shared Google Docs for real-time work, organised notes, corrections, and clear progress tracking. If you’re curious about how English works and want lessons that make grammar and language skills straightforward, I’m here to help!

German teacher with around a decade of experience and about 6000 lessons with 800+ students. German obviously is my native language, and I basically have a whole life of experience speaking English at work or privately. Russian is my 3rd strongest language, and although I have no certificates confirming that, I can teach you that language up to a pretty high level, as you can see from my intro video. Besides that, I am also very interested and knowledgeable in the field of linguistics and I can help you with pronunciation and accents on a semi-professional level by applying things like the IPA, speech training and logopedic practices. Having said that, I do not specialize in teaching children and I very much recommend looking for a teacher that is experienced in that field.

Passionate English and Russian teacher since 2020 I have always had a strong interest in languages but, also, I had been extremely successful in ignoring the fact. So it took me several years to realise that it is languages that I wanted to concentrate on the most. And not only on learning them myself, but teaching as well. Путь к пониманию, что я хочу заниматься именно языками, был долгим, но я наконец здесь! В настоящее время работаю переводчиком и с огромным удовольствием помогаю другим.

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

His teaching approach is ideal: lessons are well organised, and he always explains things clearly with practical examples. What I appreciate most is that he corrects my mistakes immediately and explains the reason behind each correction, which has helped me improve my writing and speaking much faster. I feel comfortable and confident in his lessons, and I can really see my progress. I would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for the IELTS

    앤 선생님은 학생이 편하게 대화할 수 있게 분위기를 만들어주시고, 개선점이나 새로운 내용을 전달할 때는 아주 명확하고 깔끔하게 내용을 설명해주셔서 이해하기 쉬워요. 수업이 끝나면 피드백 내용을 파일로 만들어서 따로 전달해주시는데, 그동안 무의식적으로 하던 습관들을 개선시키는 방안이나 구조적으로 깔끔한 영어를 말할 수 있는 표현들도 많이 알려주셔서 복습하고 혼자 연습하는데 도움이 돼요. 경험이 많으셔서 제가 고민을 말하면 교육적으로 검증된 명확한 해답도 안내해주십니다. 수업이 끝나고 나면 알찬 수업이었다는 생각이 들어요! 좋은 스피킹 선생님을 찾으신다면 추천합니다:)

    Learning English

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find an English teacher who also speaks Russian?

Use the “Also speaks” filter on italki to see English teachers who speak Russian. Read their profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check student reviews to find the right match for your learning goals.

How much do English lessons for Russian speakers cost?

Prices depend on the teacher’s experience, qualifications, and lesson type. You can find English teachers starting from $5 to $50+ per hour, and many offer trial lessons at a discounted rate so you can try a teacher before you commit.

Do I need to know any English before booking a lesson?

No. Because your teacher also speaks Russian, they can explain grammar and vocabulary in your own language, which makes starting from zero much easier. Complete beginners are welcome.

What are the benefits of learning English with a teacher who speaks Russian?

A teacher who understands your native language knows the mistakes Russian speakers typically make and can explain difficult points clearly. You learn faster, stay motivated, and can always ask questions in Russian when you get stuck.

How do I schedule English lessons on italki?

Create a free italki account, choose a teacher you like, select a lesson, and pick a time from the teacher’s calendar. You can manage all your lessons from your dashboard.
