Ahoj/Hello, Get in touch for FUN tutoring through conversation😃 5+years on Italki @anglictinaskatou Hello, I am Katarina, I grew up in Czechoslovakia, on the border, so I speak Slovak and Czech. I lived in London for 12 years, studied English, fashion and design, enjoyed and worked a lot! Then I changed my lifestyle and traveled for 8 years, teaching yoga and English. Now living in Spain, guiding ecstatic dance, gardening and teaching languages online. Been with Italki now for 5 years and loving it! I am learning Spanish and going through the language learning process, just like my students. I focus on conversation. From my personal experiences as a language student I know that conversation is what accelerates the learning to another level. Confidence is being built and at the same time the pronunciation and grammar are advancing naturally. I do enjoy being creative and spontaneous so there is always space for new teaching techniques and ideas from both sides. Let's learn together and have fun 😃🧠 Send me a message if you want to know more, looking forward to meeting you!😃

I graduated from the department of languages at University and I have experience in teaching non-native Arabic speakers. I have taught Arabic to a number of students and they all loved the language. I enjoy teaching Arabic to my students. I can teach just adults in a simple and uncomplicated way. We can have conversations together as well as grammar lessons and writing skills. I can also give homework to each student to prepare on their own and then we can review it together during our next lesson. I am so patient, flexible and friendly. I can repeat many times. I am also so flexible, I don't have a problem if a student asks me to change the topic or reschedule lessons....

Why wait till January to succeed? Start now and you will shine in 2027! How long have you been learning English or Slovak? Months, years? Can you speak and understand the language now? If not, I encourage you to book a lesson with me. Many of my students started at A0 and within a year of studying with me they were able to reach B1 and pass their exams or get a job. Learning a language is so much more than the boring memorizing of words and grammar rules. During my lessons the focus is on helping you to start speaking from the very beginning. As we progress, I will help you to become more fluent and sound more like a native. With over 17 years of teaching and coaching and 9 languages under my belt, I know how to make learning effective. Ready to reach your goals? Your first lesson is just a click away. Talk to you soon!

    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.

    Another great lesson with Ben! Today we focused on TOEFL Reading, especially fill-in-the-blank exercises and inference questions. Ben patiently explained how to identify key clues, avoid common mistakes, and approach challenging questions more effectively. His detailed explanations and encouraging feedback really helped boost my confidence. Thanks again, Ben!

    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!

    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!

    I highly recommend Keiran as an IELTS teacher. I took several lessons with him before my IELTS exam and it really helped me to feel more confident. 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!

    IELTS hazırlık sürecimin başından bugüne kadar İngilizce gelişimime en fazla katkı sağlayan öğretmenim Saj oldu. Derslerimiz son derece planlı, sistemli ve kapsamlı bir şekilde ilerliyor. 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. Emeği, ilgisi ve gelişimime sağladığı tüm katkılar için kendisine içtenlikle teşekkür ediyorum.

    I took two lessons with July. In the first one, she quickly identified my main grammar weaknesses and then sent me a clear, well-organized development plan. The second lesson was fully focused on one topic (plurals and articles), with lots of practical speaking tasks - describing photos, making lists, talking about work - so I had to use the target grammar again and again. She is well-prepared, structured, and keeps the lesson on track. Recommended for anyone who wants to fix recurring grammar mistakes through speaking practice.

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.

How do italki's online English classes work?

italki’s online English classes are simple, flexible, and personalized:

  1. 📝 Browse tutors – After creating an account, browse through qualified English tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  2. 🎯 Choose your tutor – Filter by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type to find a tutor that fits your goals and schedule. Many offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  3. 💻 Book and attend lessons – Once you book a lesson, you’ll meet your online English tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss your objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  4. ⏱️ Learn at your pace – Classes are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like. Between lessons, tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress learning English online.

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.

Where can I get an English tutor near me?

You can get an English tutor near you by using italki’s location filter to browse tutors from your country or region.

You can also explore English tutors in major cities like:

All lessons take place online through italki Classroom, providing personalized and convenient English tutoring wherever you are.
