Throughout my working experience as a language teacher one of the important achievements was the fact that I was the founder of Catalan language course and its promoter in the cultural centre I worked for where my activity was related to the following points: ▪ Introduction to grammar and practical vocabulary necessary for fundamental communication skills ▪ Instill concepts of both Spanish and Catalan languages by introducing interactive activities ▪ Use structural methods and materials appropriate for instruction success ▪ Assess student accomplishments and work with them on weak areas

For me, a good teacher must have great communication skills, in addition to professionalism, and a strong work ethic. Understanding my students' needs is essential to me, therefore I have an individual approach for every student. Learning Armenian can be quite challenging, but I will do my best to make the learning process efficient and fun.

I hope that we can work together to achieve similar progress for you!

Here to help you really learn English | Yma i'ch helpu chi i ddysgu Cymraeg Hi! I'm Einir, from the UK. I’ve been teaching English for over 20 years and have now started teaching my other native language -Welsh - using the skills I’ve learnt through my ESL career to help people learn one of Europe’s oldest languages! I’ve helped hundreds of people from all walks of life to become confident English speakers - housewives who want to help their children with homework, top managers who need English for international business, school pupils who dream of studying at a prestigious Western university, family-oriented people who want to start a new, better life abroad, recent graduates who want to be more competitive on the job market, adventure seekers who want to be able to make new friends while travelling - people just like you, who were brave enough to take the first steps towards reaching their goals by committing to their studies! I was an oral examiner for Cambridge exams for 15 years so I am in a rare position to help students prepare for international exams with my inside knowledge of the system. I also teach general English to students of all levels. My lessons are always prepared with the student's specific needs in mind, but a typical general English/Welsh lesson is based on introducing a grammar or lexical point and using it in conversation. I'm a strong believer in the communicative approach to language learning and expect my students to speak as much as possible in class. Send me a message if my schedule is full - I'll find time for you!

Polyglot with Experience in Over 15+ Languages My sessions are chill 😂 I think language learning comes the easiest through casual, laid-back conversation and vibes. We're all used to high-school language class that ruined the joy of language learning and made it an exercise. I find vocabulary is always more important than grammar, so our focus will be on learning as many words as possible. Mistakes are normal, the goal is to express yourself and share ideas :) We can customize your lesson to your needs. Tell me if there is something that helps you learn better. Outside of the lessons, I prepare materials and find solutions to your problems. Seeing you improve makes me feel good as a teacher, so I try to work hard.

English conversation for work, travel & life abroad You understand English, but speaking doesn’t always feel easy — especially with new people or colleagues. Let’s practise the conversations you want to feel more comfortable having. Hi, I’m Anna, an English tutor, translator and interpreter based in London. I work with adults at intermediate level and above — learners who can already have a conversation and want to express themselves more clearly and naturally. My background combines university teaching, corporate English lessons and professional translation. I taught English and translation at MGIMO University from 2016 to 2023, and later worked as a translator at the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva. Having lived in Russia, Switzerland and now the UK, I know how much language matters when you’re building a life and relationships in a new country. What would you like to practise? • Everyday conversation about travel, books, culture and life. • Practical conversations for visiting or living in the UK. • Speaking with colleagues: small talk, explaining ideas and joining discussions. You’ll have plenty of time to speak. I’ll help when you get stuck, suggest more natural wording and highlight a few useful things to practise next. We’ll agree on how much correction you’d like, so feedback supports the conversation. Not sure where to start? Book a trial lesson. We’ll practise one situation that matters to you, and I’ll recommend a suitable next lesson. No preparation needed.

I am a full-time public sector professional with two Masters degrees, offering conversation courses on Italki. I have been on my own language learning journey for 12 years, developing proficiency in German, French and Russian during that time. My interests include history, finance, governance and travel. I believe that the best methods for learning a language are usually most direct. For that reason, I will encourage students who want to improve their ability to speak to speak as much as possible during our lessons. As a teacher, I am patient, flexible and engaging, ready to adapt my style to suit my students' needs. I have previous experience teaching political thought to university students, and in my public sector position, I deliver presentations on complex regulatory topics to diverse audiences. This means I am able to take the complexities of English and explain them in simple terms. I focus on my students' interests and passions, helping them to build their vocabulary on topics that are important to them, while explaining grammatical principles as needed.

Hi everyone! If you are a former student, I can give you a discount. I am an American currently working as a professor in a Middle East university. I have about ten years of experience as an IELTS examiner (although I haven't examined since 2023), so that is probably my specialty. If you are preparing for the exam, I am sure I can help! I have a Master of Education in Teaching English. I have more than fifteen years of experience as a teacher. My approach to teaching is student-centered. In our first class, I find my student's goals, and then we come up with a strategy to reach them. I encourage students to be active learners; it's great when they come to class with a lot of questions about the language. I am always happy to answer them!

In love with languages and making jokes My main teaching purpose is to provide you with a safe environment where you can make mistakes and learn and develop all the skills to communicate effectively and achieve your goals. I am supportive, and I like the idea of using positive reinforcement. It’s a great tool to motivate you and help see your results, even small ones. Because sometimes we’re too focused on the final goal, we don’t see all the work we’ve done. I also like encouraging you to apply the language they learn because it helps break the language barrier and acquire it quickly.

TESOL/TEFL certified, business consultant by default, helping people to master English since 2019 Меня зовут Сергей Грин — и да, это моя настоящая фамилия, как 'Green' по-английски. Я родился в Сибири, вырос и учился в Украине, а также несколько лет жил и работал в США (Висконсин, Иллинойс). Благодаря опыту в малом, среднем и крупном бизнесе, я легко нахожу общий язык с людьми из самых разных сфер. Люблю делиться знаниями, обсуждать интересные темы и уверен: с таким багажом жизненных историй нам всегда будет о чём поговорить! Мое первое образование - педагогическое. Иностранные языки стали моим хобби с 2019 года, а с 2021 - я сертифицированный преподаватель TESOL... Теперь в Украине и за ее пределами помогаю гражданским и военным партнерам лучше понимать друг друга) Мое первое образование - педагогическое. Сразу после окончания школы я окончил Государственный университет по специальности "Преподаватель истории и социальных наук". Задолго до всемирного локдауна я с удовольствием для себя открыл преподавание иностранного языка онлайн и понял, что некоторым людям нравится общение и работа со мной. Свою ежедневную практику, таким образом, я превратил сначала в хобби, а потом и в оплачиваемую работу. В 2021 году оформил свой опыт в официальную сертификацию. Теперь я сертифицированный преподаватель TESOL... С интересом изучаю различные платформы и школы, использую различные материалы. Основной подход - практика, которой должно быть как можно больше и погружение в языковую среду.

    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:)

    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.
