Kind tutor with six years of experience Ahoj! Jsem Zdenča a pocházím z krásné země, kterou je Česká republika. Mám ráda historii, literaturu, malování a pečení. A samozřejmě učení (se). Na učení mě nejvíce baví sdílení svého jazyka a kultury a sledování pokroku mých studentů. Ráda také cestuji a poznávám nové lidi, protože si díky nim rozšiřuji obzory a dostanu se k novým tématům. Mám zhruba šestiletou zkušenost s výukou jazyků pro děti i dospělé, od začátečníků po pokročilé. Vždy samozřejmě záleží na potřebách jednotlivých studentů, ale snažím se vždy soustředit na všechny části jazyka - na konverzaci, čtení, psaní, poslech a gramatiku. Věřím, že pro efektivní výuku je nutná trpělivost a přívětivá atmosféra. Hi! My name is Zdenča and I come from the beautiful country that is the Czech Republic. I love history, literature, painting and baking. And of course, teaching and learning. What I love about teaching is sharing my culture and watching the progress of my students (and meeting new people, because I learn so much through them). I have six years of experience with teaching, both children and adults, beginners and advanced. I firmly believe that for effective learning it is absolutely crucial to create warm and agreeable atmosphere. Everything depends on the goals and needs of the individual students, but I always try to focus on all parts of the language - conversation, reading, listening, writing and grammar.

In terms of my Teaching Experience, I am an IELTS Teacher/Examiner and also a General English teacher. My wide range of teaching experiences throughout my career has found me teaching students of all ages and levels , ranging across a spectrum of different courses from General English to Academic Writing, Presentation Skills, Business English and Examination Preparation courses. Also, teaching in different countries and cultures has helped me to be adaptable and sensitive to the differing needs and and expectations of students that i encounter. As a result i feel confident in being able to provide students with what they seek when they choose to study in my online classes. i feel that a teacher's lesson style should be adaptable to what the students need and feel comfortable with. Having said that, my aims are to deliver well-paced, goal-oriented with a relaxed and fun class atmosphere.

CELTA Qualified Native English Teacher Hello! I come am a native English speaker and come from Scotland. I have a CELTA teaching qualification and have experience teaching students from many countries. I love discussing a wide variety of topics and can't wait to help you with your learning journey. I have a First-Class Honours Bachelor’s Degree and Master's Degree with Distinction in Fine Art. Currently, I study Civil and Environmental Engineering (BEng). I am also an intermediate German learner and have significant experience using Italki as a learner. I am passionate about making learning fun, engaging and sustainable! My lessons are a supportive environment, where students can gain confidence in their English language skills. I am friendly, approachable and a good conversationalist. I believe it is important to develop different teaching techniques for each student. As a language learner, I understand the importance of keeping lessons interesting and I am always developing new ways of learning. In our lessons, I like to give students the choice of how structured or relaxed they want the class to be. I can provide classes where we work on grammar, vocabulary, and skills like reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Alternatively, we can simply have a casual conversation while I give you corrections. I also enjoy using videos or articles as discussion topics, which helps build vocabulary and confidence.

Speak English Naturally | Conversation Practice, IELTS, customized lessons & Business | 6+ Years Hi! I’m Jasmon, your fun, redheaded ESL teacher who’s passionate about helping students speak English with confidence. Originally from Kentucky and now based in Atlanta, I have 6 years of ESL teaching experience, specializing in conversational English, Business English, and IELTS preparation. I know how challenging language learning can be because I learned Spanish myself and reached fluency through practice, persistence, and plenty of mistakes. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Anthropology with a minor in English from the University of Southern Indiana. My teaching journey began in 2014 at Green Valley Academy in Costa Rica, where I discovered my passion for helping others learn English. My lessons are relaxed, engaging, and focused on real communication. We build confidence through conversation, listening practice, vocabulary, useful expressions, and practical activities. Whether you're preparing for the IELTS, improving your Business English, getting ready for job interviews, refining your writing, or simply wanting to speak more naturally, I'll help you reach your goals. I've traveled throughout the U.S., Europe, Central America, and lived in Mexico, so I love connecting with students through conversations about travel, culture, food, and everyday life. My classroom is a supportive space where mistakes are welcomed; they're part of learning! All I ask is that you relax, speak, and enjoy the process.

Certified English teacher with over 7 years of teaching experience I believe language learning should be as fun and practical as possible. I always begin lessons with new students by asking them what their goals are and what they hope to achieve by taking English lessons. This enables us to create a learning plan tailored specifically to your desired outcome. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I've had the privilege of living in eight different countries and visiting many more. I speak Spanish and Portuguese, and I enjoy reading about economics, finance, linguistics, mathematics, and analytic philosophy. I believe the most effective way to learn a language is to begin speaking it immediately. Lessons with me will always focus first on speaking English and second on developing specific English language skills such as pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, idioms and expressions, etc. I believe it is important to practice English by focusing on reading, writing, listening, and speaking about topics that you find interesting or relevant to your life.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts (Major in Mass Communication) and bring extensive real-world experience to our lessons. Before teaching, I spent nearly 13 years in corporate customer service, working in front-line management, recruitment, and corporate training. I communicated with native English speakers daily.

Outside of teaching, I genuinely love life, discovering new places, and meeting new people. I bring that positive, high-energy curiosity into every single lesson. My Teaching Philosophy: Real Immersion Immersion is the key to fluency. If you aren't in an environment where you can naturally experience the language, I will create that environment for you. I adapt completely to your learning style, goals, and pace. What to expect: Baseline Assessment: In our first lesson, I assess your skill level so we can instantly co-create a tailored lesson plan. Continuous Feedback: After every session, you receive concrete feedback and a comprehensive summary. Independent Growth Tools: I provide practical activities you can use to keep improving your communication skills on your own. Let’s unlock your full potential and get to work.

    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.

    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.

Games are full of cartoon characters my son likes and this makes lessons more attracitive to him. In today's lesson, he was very excited to see one of his favourite characters - Luigi Ghost Busters during the exercises. Teacher Jazz is friendly, nice and patient, mildly encouraging him to speak English. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
