Business English for Professionals | Structured Coaching for Meetings & Workplace Fluency Do you finish meetings feeling you had more to say, but couldn't find the words in English? I can help. These are not general English lessons. I teach English for real work situations: meetings, quick discussions, progress updates and difficult conversations. I am from Cambridge, UK. I have 15 years of experience in IT and business. Since 2014, I have helped professionals in Europe and Asia speak more clearly and feel more confident at work. Every student starts with a free Gap Analysis — a short test that shows me your grammar, the way you speak, and the areas you need to improve. In our first lesson, we look at the results together and make a plan for your goals. Lessons focus on speaking. You watch short videos at home, practise speaking in class, and get feedback straight away. I help you find better words, fix your sentences, and sound more natural and professional. Many students notice a difference after the first three lessons. One important skill we practise is giving clear, short summaries: the main point, why it is important, and what should happen next. This helps you sound more confident with managers, clients and international colleagues. Book a trial lesson. We start with your Gap Analysis, so the first lesson is already about your goals.

An interpreting major, speaking 5 languages, overjoyed to guide you on your language journey! 🥳 Teaching my students and friends how to speak languages has been something that naturally occurred from a young age. My friends' parents would have their kids practice English with me and once I went to university, I started teaching Italian and Bulgarian privately. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing your students improve on their speaking and grasp more and more with each lesson. I love to facilitate that learning for my students and make it as fun as possible. Jokes are never set aside!

🌍 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.

French? Oui got this. Bonjour! I'm Aurélie. French teacher, science nerd, podcast host, and firm believer that mistakes are plot twists, not failures. I've lived and worked across France, Montréal and the U.S., studied Psychology & Neuroscience, and spent years working in research. I've also been teaching languages for 7+ years. My lessons are personalised, conversational and built around YOU. Want to speak more confidently? Improve pronunciation? Finally make sense of French grammar? We'll work on it through real conversations and topics you actually care about. Science lover? I also offer Science en français: improve your French while exploring neuroscience, psychology, biology, medicine, technology and other fascinating topics. Think of me as your language GPS: I'll give you structure when you need it, reroute when something isn't working, and help you turn mistakes into progress. My students describe my lessons as relaxed, encouraging and fun. Some have gone from struggling to introduce themselves to having entire conversations in French. I take learning seriously. I just don't think it has to feel serious all the time. Ready to actually use your French? Come say bonjour.

📖Teacher but also a passionate student of “language” !😊🙏📚 Salut, Je suis Daphny, un Parisien à l’esprit cosmopolite - je pense qu’apprendre sur les autres, c’est un peu apprendre sur soi-même. Natif d’Haïti, c’est toutefois à Paris, Paname, la ville lumière, la cité de l’amour …, où j’ai grandi et acquis mon éducation. Hello, I’m Daphny—a Paris-raised native of the French Caribbean with a cosmopolitan outlook shaped by living between France and the United States for the past decade. I believe that learning about others is also a way to gain deeper insight into oneself. My open-minded approach to language and culture is rooted in my diverse background and international experiences. I am passionate about building connections through literature, art, information technology, manga, anime, and sports such as working out and biking. If you are interested in exploring language and culture from a universal perspective, I look forward to learning and growing together. Ma méthodologie mélange une vision traditionnelle à une vision, que l’on pourrait qualifier de moderne ou d’atypique. Tout dépend de vous, de vos objectifs et de votre niveau de langue. On peut étudier un article, une chanson, un extrait de film, une vidéo… Il ne faut pas se limiter. My teaching style is open and fluid. I believe that some traditional methods are useful. One should nevertheless not be prisoner of them. Some things work for some people and others don’t. I just adapt to the need of the student.

    My son is very excited to have lessons with Teacher Jazz, as she always prepares fun activities and customized games. Lessons are highly engaging and creative. 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.

    Aysha has been teaching my two children, particularly my daughter Michalina, for the past three years, and I couldn't be happier with her dedication and professionalism. She is an exceptional teacher – patient, warm-hearted, empathetic, and genuinely committed to her students' progress and success. One of her greatest achievements was successfully preparing my daughter for the national English exam at the end of primary school, where Michalina achieved an outstanding 98% score! This result speaks volumes about Aysha's teaching skills and ability to motivate and support her students. What I appreciate most, however, is the wonderful relationship she has built with my children. They both genuinely enjoy their lessons with her, which, as a parent, means just as much to me as their academic achievements. After three years of working together, I can wholeheartedly recommend Aysha to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly caring English teacher. Thank you, Aysha!

    Ben is a great English teacher. Every lesson follows a clear plan built around my goals, so I always know what we are working on and why. He doesn’t waste time on small talk, and every minute of the class is focused and useful. We have worked both on general English and on TOEFL preparation, and he helped me with every section of the exam, from reading and listening to speaking and writing. His feedback is direct and specific, which is exactly what I need to improve. I would recommend Ben to anyone who wants real, measurable progress.

    My 7-year-old child is taking storytelling classes in English here. Rather than seeing it as a study session, my child truly enjoys this time as a chance to freely express their thoughts. Whenever my child comes across unfamiliar vocabulary, the teacher explains it in a way that is super easy to understand, helping them make the words their own. The teacher also encourages using a variety of sentence structures, which has really expanded my child’s expressive language skills. Best of all, when the class ends, my child always comes out with a big, happy, stress-free smile and asks me right away to book the next session!

Keiran helped me with my answers and showed me how to organize my ideas, especially for Parts 2 and 3. We practiced a lot of different questions and he always gave me useful feedback about my mistakes. After several lessons I felt that I could speak more naturally and without long pauses. Finally, I got 6.0 in Speaking, compared to 5.5 in my previous exam. It was exactly what I needed, so I'm really happy with the result. I really enjoyed our lessons and definitely will continue studying with him. Thank you, Keiran, for your help and support!

Okuma, yazma, dinleme ve konuşma olmak üzere dört temel dil becerisinin tamamına odaklanan, düzenli ödevlerle desteklenen ve gelişimin sürekli takip edildiği oldukça etkili bir eğitim süreci yürütüyoruz. Saj yalnızca ders anlatmakla kalmıyor; eksiklerimi belirleyerek, ilerlememi değerlendirerek ve doğru yönlendirmelerde bulunarak aynı zamanda güçlü bir eğitim koçluğu da sunuyor. Bu sayede yalnızca ders saatlerinde değil, dersler arasında da öğrenmeye ve gelişmeye devam ediyorum. İngilizce öğrenimini rastgele çalışmalar yerine disiplinli, bütüncül ve sürdürülebilir bir süreç hâline getirmesi benim için son derece değerli.

    Chris is an excellent teacher. I'll take IELTS soon and his speaking lessons have helped me to get the fluency and coherence that I noticed I did't have on my first attempt of the test. What I like the most about the lessons is that during the class he is encouraging you to practice the learned structures, vocabulary and strategies, useful by the way. He also created a personalized plan for me, according to those aspects that I needed to improve the most. There isn't a class for which he doesn't send you a detailed feedback with some identified small/important mistakes made and how you can fix it. Finally, but not less important, Chris is an experienced teacher and examiner for sure, respectful and friendly.

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?

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.

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.
