Native English speaker from Canada. My video is out of date and I'm working on updating it! Sorry for the confusion. I’m Alyse, a native English Canadian speaker. Currently, I've completed my Bachelor of English degree, which has deepened my love for language and communication. My dream is to become a professional ESL teacher and explore the world, sharing my passion for English with learners from all walks of life. I worked two years as an IELTS test coordinator and gained valuable insights into exam preparation. I love helping students build confidence for both tests and everyday conversations. My teaching experience spans learners from A1 to C2 levels, with a special focus on Chinese and Slovak students. I started teaching A1-2 English speakers who were migrating to Canada about 5 years ago. I loved and enjoyed each day teaching them. From there, I started teaching online classes one-on-one. I currently work for a company that teaches primarily Slovak students, but I also have experience teaching Chinese students as well. Because of my experience as a test coordinator at IELTS, I understand and know how the test formation works and am able to help prepare students who want to challenge the IELTS exams. All my classes are spoken in English. I can teach all levels of English speakers and match your learning style. I use different texts or worksheets depending on what your needs are. I focus on communication, speaking, reading and writing for business, casual conversations, and for IELTS prep exams.

Certified Greek and English teacher with 20 years of professional experience Hello! My name is Natassa and I'm from Greece. I love travelling and meeting people from different countries. I enjoy having new exciting experiences and gaining new knowledge. In my free time I volunteer helping animals in shelters, I meet friends and go on trips. I have travelled to Bali, Cuba, Dubai, the USA, Tanzania, Peru, Vietnam and many other countries in Europe. I am fun, funny and patient and my priority is to help learners believe in themselves and feel confident to communicate in a foreign language. (If the times available on my schedule are not convenient, please contact me and I'd be happy to open new slots to accomodate your needs.) I have been working as an English and Greek teacher for 20 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in English Language and Linguistics and a Master's degree in Special Education. I have also spent two years studying Media Assisted Language Teaching at Brighton University. I have worked as a private tutor but also as a teacher in language schools, international summer schools in Europe and in public schools in Greece. When I teach I try to guide students and give them opportunities to explore and discover language. Depending on each student's individual needs I create lessons that give learners the opportunity to practice and improve all four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) and great emphasis is also placed on grammar and vocabulary.

To hear my accent, please watch my video 👆🏽 I enjoy long-distance running 🏃🏻‍♀️ widl swimming in the sea 🌊 and spending time with friends and family over a cup of coffee ☕ I also love to be creative and spend lots of time painting 🎨 I'm an experienced public speaker with lots of tips to help you be the best version of yourself when giving presentations (getting your nerves under control, how to make the best use of notes, dealing with interruptions, etc.). We all learn in different ways and speeds; I always take this into consideration. Open communication is the key to a solid teacher-student relationship. Having fun while learning helps us to remember what we're absorbing and encourages us to try to use new words and phrases at every opportunity. I've been involved in one-to-one teaching for over 17 years. My teaching style is very interactive, and I love to involve you in conversation. It's important to encourage you to get involved right away as these really are the secrets to learning a language - patience, and practice! I'm eager to share my tips and tricks with you. It's also important to set out clearly what's needed for you to allow you to grow 🌱 Learning how to interact with others is also a key skill that you can master! Let's start your English learning journey together today! 🏆

Language is a bridge to freedom. こんにちは!Hi! I’m Candy, your language teacher on an exciting adventure through words and culture! My journey spans a PhD in Theoretical Physics, a decade in international business, and over ten years teaching languages. I specialize in Business English and Business Japanese, empowering professionals to express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically in boardroom, email thread, or cross-cultural meeting. I believe that language isn’t just something you study, it’s also something you live. The best way to master a foreign language is to immerse yourself in it at every opportunity. The more you use it, the more it becomes part of you. Having friendly, relaxed conversations in your target language is one of the most effective (and enjoyable!) ways to improve. Whether you're aiming for the JLPT, polishing your accent, or craving conversational fluency, I’m here to make your language journey dynamic, practical, and fun! In class, I focus on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and listening practice - all tailored to your goals. I’m always happy to answer questions, provide suggestions and examples, and share extra learning resources so you can keep improving outside of class too. Important Notes: *Recording lessons without permission is not allowed. *Zoom is used only for 30-minute lessons. Please make sure to choose the correct duration or tools when booking.

A story, a class, a lesson written just for you. I've been teaching since 2011, have worked in universities and online and lived in 3 continents. If you like structure and challenge in your learning without the performative drills and rigidity of a "traditional" classroom, my lessons might be for you. The atmosphere is relaxed and while the conversations might seem casual, the purpose is always to guide you to closer to fluency. Here, we use the target language whether you're a beginner or advanced. We listen to and discuss my stories adapted to your level. You'll hear about intuitive cats, safe spaces and bubbles, eerie seaside villages, spiritual retreats that take an oppressive turn and a dry cleaning service that has you looking perfect for any occasion. The challenge of language learning is learning to tolerate ambiguity. You won't understand every word. The verb used in Spanish will not always correspond to a literal translation of an English sentence. In my experience, the most successful learners relinquish the compulsive need to understand every single word or question why one "has" (tener/avoir) a number of years in Spanish and French, but "are" an age in English, before they engage with the language. If the goal is to understand and speak the language, this need becomes a hindrance. Ever wondered why many people can't speak a word of Spanish or French despite years of instruction at school? It comes down to a classroom built for linguistic analysis, not language acquisition. Come to my class and speak.

    I've had nearly 50 classes with Aeva over the past year, and it's been wonderful every single time. As someone at an intermediate-to-advanced level, I was looking for well-organized classes with a clear direction, and Aeva has been the absolute best teacher I've found so far. She is super flexible but always keeps the lessons professional. She gives practical advice and support to help me reach my goals, and she is just a genuinely sweet and kind person. It’s really hard to find a teacher who is the perfect fit, but if you're looking to improve or maintain your English at a high level, Aeva is hands down the best option for you!

    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.

    Mia is a wonderful teacher for my 8-year-old son. Her lessons are well-planned and engaging. In our latest session they read Hiccups from the Oxford Reading Tree, and Andrew learned useful new words and phrases like "get rid of," "upside down" and "patting," each taught with clear examples from the story. After every lesson Mia sends detailed feedback, so I always know what he has covered and how he is progressing. Andrew enjoys her classes and is growing more confident in his reading and speaking. Highly recommended!

    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.

    He tenido una gran experiencia de aprendizaje con la profesora Xiadani. Primero comenzó con una evaluación de mi nivel de inglés, y como mi interés era el speaking se enfocó en esa área, fortaleciendo mis debilidades a través de ejercicios. Siempre mostró disponibilidad para ayudar incluso fuera de clases y me proveyó materiales de estudio. Por otra parte me ayudó con una presentación en inglés, lo cual agradezco muchísimo. Recomiendo ampliamente a la profesora Xiadani!!

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. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the English lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

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.
