CELTA-certified teacher w/ MSc Neuroscience, BS Chem Engineering, and 1000+ hours of teaching I've been teaching English as a second/foreign language since 2019. I was a freelance English instructor for corporates and governmental organizations in Prague from 2019-2020. Some of the organizations I taught at include the National Cyber and Information Security Agency, the Customs Administration, and the Council for Radio and Television Broadcasting of the Czech Republic. I received my CELTA certification after training at International House Prague in 2019, and I apply the methodology I learned in my standard English lessons.

DELTA/CELTA qualified tutor with 19 years' experience in exam prep (IELTS, FCE, CAE, CPE) Hi, I'm Louise and I love teaching English. I would be delighted to help you on your English learning journey. I currently live near Brighton, England, but I have also lived in Beijing, Costa Rica and Spain. When not teaching, I enjoy walking in the local countryside with my two dogs, reading, gardening, playing the concertina, accordion, violin and mandolin. I am highly qualified with both the Cambridge CELTA and DELTA. I have been teaching for nineteen years, including 7 years online. The most common feedback from my students is I’m very patient and encouraging, and that they love the energy in my classes. I love teaching Cambridge preparation courses - I have many years' experience helping my students achieve the scores they need in the IELTS, FCE, CAE and CPE General English - I explain grammar and vocabulary clearly, and give plenty of feedback I believe communicative lessons are the most effective, so although we can cover any skill you need in our sessions, there will also be lots of speaking practice. I think the best way to learn new grammar and vocabulary is in context. My students find this way helps them understand the meaning and rules more clearly. After studying it, there will be more speaking practice to ensure you remember it. Additionally, I provide more advanced alternatives to the simpler language you are already using well. I give reading and listening tasks for homework so that we have interesting topics to discuss in the next lesson.

MD, MSc & WHO Health Specialist | Professional & Conversational English & IELTS Instructor I’m a medical doctor and health specialist at the World Health Organization with over 15 years of experience working in international environments, including in Switzerland and Germany. English has been my main working language throughout my career, and I achieved an overall IELTS Academic score of 8.5 with minimal preparation. Alongside my work, I’ve taught English through Berlitz, GCSE-level instruction, and volunteer work with children and migrants. I enjoy helping people express themselves clearly and confidently, and I bring a structured yet relaxed approach to every session. As a teacher, I combine experience from both ends of the spectrum: developing and delivering trainings for WHO staff and healthcare professionals, and teaching English in informal settings with underprivileged children and migrant communities. This has made my approach both adaptable and supportive: creating a comfortable environment for speaking practice while providing practical guidance to improve fluency and confidence. My lessons are practical and conversation-focused. Depending on your goals, we can focus on: • Everyday conversation and fluency • Job applications and interview preparation • IELTS/TOEFL speaking practice • Professional communication I tailor each session to your level and goals to ensure lessons are engaging, useful, and relevant to your needs.

Certified TEFL Teacher with over 7 years teaching experience Hi! I'm Molly, and I've been teaching English online for over seven years—and I genuinely love what I do! If I had to describe my teaching style, I'd call it the three Fs: Fun, Firm and Fair. Fun because I bring lots of enthusiasm into my lessons! I enjoy getting to know my students and tailoring lessons around their interests, helping them feel relaxed, confident and excited to learn. Firm because I'm committed to helping my students improve. I'll gently correct mistakes, keep lessons focused and encourage good learning habits so you can make real progress. Fair because I understand that learning a new language can be challenging. I'm patient, supportive and always happy to explain things in different ways until they make sense. I mainly teach beginner to intermediate learners and use a variety of engaging resources, including slides, videos, props and worksheets, to make lessons interactive and enjoyable. Outside of teaching, I studied Creative Writing at the University of Winchester, and I love reading, writing, drawing, playing the ukulele and exploring nature with my dog, Barleigh. Whether you're learning English for work, travel or everyday life, I'd love to help you build your confidence and achieve your goals. I look forward to meeting you soon!

🌍 Let's CONVERSE TOGETHER — English & Italian Conversation for Real Life “To have another language is to possess a second soul.” — Charlemagne I truly believe that learning a language is about more than grammar and vocabulary. It’s about gaining another way to express yourself, connect with people, and experience the world. And that’s exactly how I approach my lessons: conversation first, confidence always. I’m Italian by birth, Bengali by heritage, and Canadian by law. I’m multilingual, speaking Italian, Bengali, English, French, and Spanish, and I love connecting with people from different cultures. I have a university degree in Finance with Honours and work in finance. Outside of work, I’m passionate about public speaking, travel, personal growth, reading, content creation, and women’s empowerment. My lessons are primarily conversation-based. Rather than spending the entire lesson memorizing grammar rules, we choose a topic and talk about it. We might discuss: 🌎 Travel and culture 💼 Work and careers 📚 Books and movies 🌱 Personal growth 🍝 Food and everyday life I’ll ask questions, introduce new vocabulary, share videos, and encourage you to express your own opinions. I’ll correct your mistakes when needed, but I want you to keep speaking. Mistakes are part of learning—and often the best way to remember something! Whether you’re learning English for work, travel, or everyday life, or learning Italian because you love Italy and its culture, I’m here to help you become a more confident and natural speaker.

OVER 25 YEARS OF TEACHING With inspiration comes motivation. From motivation springs action. I’d like to inspire you on your way. I’m extremely passionate about teaching English. I use visual cards, placards. For instance, the other day we studied personalities and we made a map of characters from ‘Five Feet Apart’ which is a new movie based on a book and teenagers enjoyed it a lot! So we made a visual picture similar to one on the cover of the book and put there all new personalities together with main characters from the film. Regarding teaching children, I know many English songs and rhymes, which we learn by heart to better remember vocabulary and understand English grammar. https://www.youtube.com/playlist

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!

    Eja is an amazing teacher! I’ve had more than 10 lessons with her since July, and I can already see a huge difference in my English. I use English every day at work, and not only do I feel much more confident, but my coworkers have also noticed my progress! Her lessons are completely personalized, and she explains everything step by step with patience and without any judgment. She brings great supporting materials, gives constant feedback, and pays attention to even the smallest details, from pronunciation to making your sentences sound more natural. What I love most is that you can actually see your progress. You always know what you’re improving and what you still need to work on. She also has such a wonderful energy that makes you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes.

His role-play situations are very relevant and practical, and after only two weeks, I can already clearly see my progress. What makes his Executive Communication lessons particularly valuable is his coaching background.

The sessions are challenging, supportive and extremely useful. I would definitely recommend Steve!

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.

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?

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.

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.
