I've helped great learners find their passion and voice in English no matter what the level. I am a native English speaker and one of the things I love doing during school breaks is to tutor primary school learners in English and I think the most important thing is helping one to build their confidence.

Certified TESOL Teacher Specializing in Teaching Kids/Children ESL Lessons for 8 Years The most common feedback I get from parents is that I am very patient. I have learned through my experience that getting frustrated with students does not help anything. This is why I focus on positive reinforcement rather than negative punishment. This means that I don't want to punish students for making mistakes because it is necessary for learning. Instead, I like to reward students when they get things correct, which keeps the classroom atmosphere positive. Learning Goals include: Homework Tutoring, Speech Coaching, Test Preparation, Travel & Culture, and Conversation Practice.

Kind patient instruction, lots of practice and good error correction. National Geographic courses. 👩‍🎓Teaching Background :- I am from the UK. My goal is to teach a neutral English accent. As an experienced instructor in South Korea, I am able to support US phonics and spellings. 😃 Our classes include reading the coursebook texts, studying the vocabulary and exploring the stories. The "Our World" course has many fun songs that help students remember the material. We follow the textbook exercises to practice using vocabulary words and examples. My aim is help students be confident in speaking full sentences of English. The natural world of National Geographic provides a perfect introduction to English, with expert guidance in textbook exercises to help students really improve.

*Fully qualified TEFL/IELTS exam tutor & specialist in academic editing and proofreading* I am a fun teacher and always have plenty of subjects to discuss with my students, which help expand their English vocabulary. This is particularly important for those hoping to study at an English speaking university or working in an English speaking country. I am an experienced language learner myself. I have learnt French since my childhood, and so am fully aware of the challenges, frustrations and difficulties associated with learning a language. However, it can be so very rewarding too. There is nothing better than being able to communicate in a different language. It feels amazing, and is very good for the brain! I am very patient, encouraging, and full of enthusiasm.

Frequently Asked Questions about English teachers

The first step for having an online English course is to find a trusted teacher. Watch teacher introduction videos and read teacher profile information as well as student reviews.

Then, choose a favorite one. Once you confirm your English tutor, you can check his or her calendar. Schedule your lesson for a time that suits you. If you can't attend the lesson, please cancel it at least 24 hours in advance and reschedule it.

If your teacher confirms your lesson request, you can start your English learning journey. Connect with your teacher via Zoom, Skype, italki Classroom, or other tools on a desktop or mobile device.

Have 1-on-1 English lessons with your private tutor. It's a good way to learn English from a native English speaker or international English teacher. Your teacher will teach you according to your learning goals.

There are two types of teachers in italki, professional teachers and community teachers. Both of them are qualified and loved by their students.

Feel free to book English lessons with your private tutor. Just check the calendar with your teacher and book lessons from half hour, 45 minutes, to 1 hour.

An online English teacher or tutor is a person who gets in touch with you online and teaches you the English language no matter where you are. Taking lessons with an online English teacher saves your commute time, helps you learn English in a relaxed state, and allows you to learn at home.

But what is the difference between a classroom teacher and an online tutor? A classroom teacher is a professional who teaches as per the prescribed curriculum to some students in a rigid environment. An online English tutor is a person who pays close attention to you and your needs and gives you in-depth knowledge of the English language.

The advantages of having an online English tutor are:

  • * Your personal English trainer will provide you with flexible lessons and your learning process will be more relaxed.
  • * A 1-on-1 English tutor will help you learn quickly.
  • * With a private English teacher or tutor, you can learn at your own pace and in comfort.
  • * With a private English teacher, you can track your progress anytime and make your learning schedule according to your budget.
  • * Online English teachers can help you immediately with any problems you have in learning English.
  • * A private English teacher or tutor can motivate and help you build confidence in English speaking.

Nowadays, many websites provide English courses with online teachers like italki. But finding the right English tutor becomes more difficult among so many options.

  • * Flexible class scheduling at any time and any place convenient for you.

Professional online English teachers are experienced people who teach you basic English knowledge, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation. They help you improve your listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Moreover, you can talk about English literature, cultures, or any other topics that interest you in their lessons. They will develop a customized learning plan for you based on your different language abilities.

After booking an English lesson with italki, you can talk about your current learning needs with your teacher before or during your first lesson. Let them know your language level and advice you on the best lesson plan that suits your language abilities.

The cost of learning with online English teachers on the italki app varies depending on the factors such as the lesson duration and the teacher’s experience.

For example, taking a lesson with an experienced English teacher will cost you about $12 to $15, whereas taking a class with an English community tutor will cost you around $9 to $14. The average price of a 60-minute English online lesson on the italki app is only $10!
