I specialize in conversation practice, grammar, exam preparation, and business English for professionals.

In particular, I have a long experience with children, so I am a very patient and engaging teacher. I love to make my students laugh and increase their confidence, I think that this is the key of teaching, especially young students!

(Working with Adults 18+). I’m a very adaptive teacher, tailoring my lessons to your goals, needs, and preferences.

You’ll get plenty of speaking practice, vocabulary you can actually use, and tips to improve step by step.

10 years teaching experience / Phd in education I'm passionate about how people today are learning, about advanced digital technology and authoring tools, as well as various cultures. My view of teaching Chinese aims not just to master the traditional “four skills” through accuracy and fluency, but to develop students' intercultural competence and critical thinking. Except for language itself, my success depends on whether my students are equipped to speak their minds with confidence and to ask critical questions about their own and other cultures. · Provided personalized 1-on-1 Chinese tutoring sessions to over 400 students · Taught C101 (beginner), C201(intermediate), C401 (intermediate and advanced) and X490 (superior) at Indiana University by using the textbooks Integrated Chinese and Anything goes · Former head of IU language workshop tutoring program, recruited, managed, and trained over 200 Chinese tutors, and worked with instructors on online teaching activities I am committed to providing my students with the resources they need to become independent learners, as a facilitator and resource person rather than just a "transmitter" of knowledge. I want to provide my students with language skills and cultures that they may not encounter in the textbook. I try to explain words by modeling how I use them in real-life situations and to shatter the stereotype and update news by providing fun and authentic resources.

    I booked a session to prepare for moderating an executive roundtable dinner in English, and it was far more than a language class. Ellen researched the topic in advance, helped me sharpen my ideas, and gave precise, practical feedback on pronunciation and on how I come across in the room. I left feeling genuinely ready. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for a high-stakes professional conversation or public speaking.

    I have been studying with Ed for more than three years, and finding him was a great success for me. My biggest problem was always listening. I knew grammar quite well and could speak, but understanding spoken English was difficult. Ed’s method is based mainly on real conversation. He helps you relax, stop worrying about mistakes, and simply start speaking. At some point, I was surprised to realize that we had already been talking for an hour, I understood everything, and the conversation felt completely natural. If you want to understand spoken English better and become more confident in speaking, Ed is a very professional teacher. He is also a very interesting person, and it is always enjoyable to talk with him about different topics. I do not often write reviews, but I am very happy to recommend Ed.

    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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How can I get fluent in English?

You can get fluent in English through consistent speaking practice with an English tutor who provides structured conversation and immediate feedback.

An online English tutor helps you build fluency by correcting mistakes in real time, teaching natural phrasing, and giving you regular opportunities to speak. They identify patterns holding you back and help you communicate confidently in real situations.

Most learners reach conversational fluency in 6–12 months with 3–4 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can adjust lessons to focus on the speaking skills you need most.

How can I learn English online?

You can learn English online by combining lessons with an online English tutor and regular self-study practice.

Working with an English tutor online gives you personalized feedback, speaking practice, and guidance tailored to your goals. Between lessons, reinforce what you’ve learned through activities like watching shows, reading, listening to podcasts, or using language apps.

Most learners see steady progress by scheduling 2–3 sessions per week of online English tutoring and practicing for 20–30 minutes a day. Your English tutor can also recommend resources based on what you’re working on in lessons.

Are the English classes and courses suitable for beginners?

Yes, our English classes and courses are suitable for beginners. We understand that everyone has different learning levels and goals, and our experienced English teachers can adjust their teaching methods accordingly. Our beginner-level classes focus on building a strong foundation in the English language, including basic grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Our teachers use various teaching techniques such as interactive activities, games, and multimedia resources to make the learning process fun and engaging.

Additionally, our one-on-one lessons allow beginners to receive personalized attention and guidance from their teacher. Our online platform also offers flexibility, which means that beginners can choose a suitable time and pace that suits their learning needs. Whether you are starting from scratch or have some prior knowledge of English, our classes and courses are tailored to meet your needs and help you progress to the next level.

How can I develop my English speaking skills?

You can develop your English speaking skills by working with an English tutor who specializes in conversation practice.

An online English tutor helps you improve by giving you opportunities to speak in every lesson, correcting pronunciation and grammar immediately, and teaching natural expressions used in real conversations. Regular English lessons build confidence and help you respond more naturally without overthinking.

Most learners see noticeable improvement with 2–3 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can tailor lessons to practice the situations you need, whether professional communication, casual conversation, or presentations.

Where can I find an English tutor?

You can find an online English tutor directly on italki’s Teacher Search page, where you’ll find over 4,000 certified English teachers for every need; whether you’re improving pronunciation, preparing for IELTS, or advancing your career.

All lessons take place online, so you can connect with an English tutor from anywhere, whether you’re at home, traveling, or between commitments. You aren’t limited to local options; you can choose from certified English teachers from all over the world, and tutors who specialize in your goals.

Use the filters to browse English tutors by price, availability, and specialization. Book a trial lesson to find the right fit, then schedule regular English lessons that suit your schedule.

Can you learn English without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn English without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with an English tutor.

An English tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online English tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine English tutoring with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

How do I find a good English tutor on italki ?

Finding a good English tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, and read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good English teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Yes, italki offers English tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find English tutors for beginners, English tutors for kids, and English tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, English grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC) and business English. Whatever your goal, there’s an English tutor for it.

How much does an English tutor cost?

English tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private English tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find an English tutor that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online English lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

Is it worth getting an English tutor?

Yes, getting an English tutor is worth it if you want faster, noticeable progress in your English learning.

English tutoring is especially useful when you need guidance that adapts to your goals. With an online English tutor, you can focus on what matters most to you, rather than following a fixed course. An English tutor can help because:

  • 🎯 Lessons are tailored to your needs, whether it’s English lessons for beginners or English conversation classes
  • ✅ You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • 🗣️ One-on-one sessions give you more time to speak and practice actively.
  • ⚡ Tutors adjust your English lessons and pace based on how you learn

Many learners combine online English tutoring with self-study, such as podcasts or reading, to reinforce what they learn and stay consistent between lessons.

Why should I use an English tutor to learn English with italki?

Using an English tutor on italki helps you learn the English you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your English tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for proficiency exams like IELTS or TOEFL, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online English lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on English conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional English tutors for foundational skills and community English tutors for speaking practice.
