Professional Translator with a Handful of Years of English Tutoring Experience As a teacher, I am patient. I vividly remember how much patience I've needed in my own language-learning journeys, so it's something I like to offer students. Apart from that, I like to emphasize using one's own interests and hobbies in learning a language, so I often spend some time getting to understand my students' interests and using them as topics of discussion.

CELTA-certified teacher with five years of English teaching experience (IELTS / TOEFL preparation) Hello everyone! I’m Thomas, a native English speaker and undergraduate student of modern languages. I grew up in the East Midlands, near Nottingham, and speak with a minimal accent. I love learning new languages in my spare time and am fascinated by the culture and history of other countries. Language learning is my passion so I’m very enthusiastic to share its joys with you! I cannot overstate the significance language learning has had in my life – it truly is a gateway to another world. Cultural exchange is therefore very important to me, so I can’t wait to discuss your interests and views with you. Whatever your goals or level of language proficiency, my aim is to give you the skills and confidence to use your English to the absolute best of your ability. In my lessons, I create a relaxed and supportive environment for you to express yourself fully without fear of judgement. I tend not to correct grammatical or lexical mistakes right away so as not to disrupt the flow of the conversation, but rather I will provide notes which can be referred back to after the lesson and may draw attention to areas that need a bit of work. As well as free-flowing conversation, I work with a variety of materials such as text, audio-visual and grammar drills to keep the lessons engaging. Most importantly, however, my lessons are tailored to your preferences and needs, which I will always take into consideration and incorporate into the exercises we do.

You can learn and practice Russian, Uzbek and English with me. See you in the class! :) I would say I started teaching Russian and Uzbek to my university friends first. It was nothing more than a conversational Russian practice help, but with a few grammar explanations and new words and phrases. It happened to be very effective. After university, I started taking teaching Russian more seriously. I put more emphasis on grammar and practicing speaking skills to make well-constructed lessons. But at the same time, I learned to build an individual approach to every student. I worked in a summer language school in Russia for some time, where I taught English as a second language. In general, I have been working as a language tutor on different language levels for about 10 years now.

I make language come alive through movies, music, and books Викладання для мене це обмін між учнем та вчителем: обмін досвідом, ідеями, історіями, енергією. За 6 років роботи мої студенти багато чому мене навчили. Але я також дуже рада, що завдяки заняттям вони змогли отримати нову роботу, переїхати та отримати новий досвід. Дуже ними пишаюся. ღღღ I feel like teaching is not so much about giving, but about the exchange between a student and a teacher. It’s an exchange of ideas, experience, stories, energy and definitely not a one-way street experience. Due to the classes my students managed to get new experience, move to another place and get a new job. I'm really proud of them! Я викладаю підліткам (від 14 років) та дорослим. Заняття проходять виключно англійською незалежно від рівня. Я впевнена, що ви знаєте більше, ніж ви вважаєте 😊 Після заняття ви отримаєте завдання та ідеї для самостійної практики поза уроками. Так ви зможете краще запам'ятати матеріал та відпрацювати його. ღღღ I teach teenagers (from 14 y.o.) and adults. I teach English-only lessons. It doesn't matter what level you have, I'm here for you to help you get over the fear of speaking or listening, After our lessons, you’re going to get some practice so that you were able to revise and study on your own. Let me know if you have any wishes regarding the topics you’d like to study.

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!

Experienced English teacher helping you communicate with confidence Hi, I’m Anastasia - an English tutor who genuinely loves languages and the process of learning them. I hold a TEFL certification and a Cambridge C2 certificate, and I’ve taught both in classrooms (in China) and online. Over time, I’ve found that online lessons can be even more effective when they’re structured well and tailored to you. My approach is simple: you don’t just memorize English, you learn how it works. I guide you to notice patterns, think actively, and actually use the language. This makes your progress faster, more natural, and long-lasting. Lessons are interactive and varied. We might build stories, discuss real-world topics, explore videos or articles, or focus on speaking fluency and exam preparation, depending on your goals. I aim to keep things engaging, practical, and enjoyable, because that’s what keeps you consistent. I’m patient, easygoing, and I create a space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and build confidence step by step. If you want to feel more natural and confident in English, not just “study” it, I’d be happy to work with you.

A professional teacher with 10 years of teaching experience Hi! I'm a native Eastern Armenian speaker from Yerevan, Armenia. I have a Bachelor's degree in English Philology and a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics. I have 10 years of experience in teaching English and Armenian. I teach both absolute beginners and people with a high level of knowledge, improving their speaking, listening, vocabulary, grammar, etc. Besides the languages I teach, I also speak French, Spanish, Russian and a bit of Greek. If you want to discover the ancient Armenian language or to practice your English with me, feel free to contact me! An important factor in learning a foreign language is the phenomenon of "bookish language". In my courses I provide the real language used among native speakers. My lessons are always planned according to the needs and abilities of my students. Also, I find it very important to make the lesson interesting and enjoyable, having an individual approach to each student.

Cambridge-educated polyglot|英语口语 & 语法一对一|中文辅助讲解,八年经验 | Ваш буржуазный бомж! 哈喽! I am an Irish polyglot, researcher, writer and educator living in Brazil. Oi, tudo joia? Sou irlandês — poliglota, jornalista e professor de línguas. Moro em BH. 大家好!我是来自爱尔兰的语言老师,目前住在巴西。我毕业于英国剑桥大学,专业是俄语与德语的语言文学,除英语外还能用俄语、德语、西班牙语、法语、葡萄牙语和中文交流。 Здравствуйте! Я "буржуазный бомж" — ирландский полиглот, журналист и преподаватель языков. Живу в Бразилии. Having grown up in a rural area, I had to find my own way to entertain myself: this led me to learning world languages online. By the age of 18, I spoke 4 languages fluently without leaving bedroom. As a result, I thoroughly understand the trials and tribulations of online education. I later studied Russian and German literature and language at the University of Cambridge, before teaching and studying in Russia, China and Kazakhstan. I now live in Brazil. I have eight years of teaching experience: IB English Language and Literature in Shanghai, two years of German at Queen's University Belfast, and four years here on italki. My lessons are student-led and built around conversation, and I'm especially good at making difficult grammar make sense — Russian and German in particular. 我有八年教学经验:曾在上海华东师范大学双语学校教授 IB 英语语言与文学,并兼授法语;后来在贝尔法斯特女王大学教了两年德语,也在 italki 上课四年。我的课以学生为中心、按需定制,重点放在口语表达上,也擅长把难懂的语法讲清楚。欢迎大家预约试听课! One note: my italki video is a little out of date, as I've just come back after a three-year break. Teaching is part-time for me; the rest of my week goes to freelance journalism and peacebuilding/OSINT research.

    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

    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.
