Licensed teacher with over 9 years of teaching experience Hello! I’m Elaiza, and I love helping learners speak, listen, read, and write in English with confidence. In my lessons, you’ll practice useful vocabulary and collocations in fun, interactive ways, so English becomes easier and more natural. Whether for everyday life or IELTS, I make learning engaging and achievable. I specialize in: * English Speaking & Conversation Practice – gain fluency and express yourself clearly * Pronunciation & Accent Improvement – improve clarity and sound more confident in speech * IELTS / Exam Preparation (Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing) – boost scores efficiently * Grammar for Everyday English – practical, easy-to-remember rules As you may have already figured out, I also had to learn English as my second language , and that’s actually great news for you! This means I completely understand what you’re going through. I know that learning a new language can sometimes feel challenging, confusing, or even a little embarrassing. But don’t worry! My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive space where you can practice freely, make mistakes, ask questions, and slowly build your confidence step by step.

8 years of experience - Expert in pronunciation and accent reduction ¡Hola! I’m a teacher and linguist from Argentina, and I have spent the last 8 years of my life finding ways to make learning Spanish and English as simple as possible. That is my motto: "la vida es simple" (life is simple). It took me time to understand that learning a language should not be a matter of investing countless hours learning theory and linguistics, and that if I wanted to be a great teacher, I would have to streamline the process. So... I did. I go the extra mile and teach you things that many teachers are not even aware of (and therefore do not teach). It may seem contradictory, but simplified learning does not mean learning less - it means learning what actually works. Don't waste There is no unique style that suits everybody, so it is up to me to adapt to what you need. A good teacher must know their students well, and that involves many factors: - The languages the student speaks: similarities and differences with Spanish, advantages and potential difficulties. - The student's preferences: traditional or unorthodox learning. - The student's needs: areas of improvement - The student's objectives and expectations - Existing learning difficulties and bad experiences with past teachers - Interests and hobbies

TEF & TCF preparation (Canada & France) | Immigration & naturalisation | Teaching since 2016 Bonjour, hello, hola, buongiorno - I’m Lola, a French teacher based in the South of France. I work with adult learners who want more than surface-level fluency. Many students understand French but hesitate when speaking. This is not just a vocabulary issue - it’s a question of structure and processing. I’ve been teaching since 2016 (3,000+ lessons, 500+ students). I’m also a multilingual speaker (6+ languages), which allows me to explain French clearly - through your strongest language(s). Most native speakers feel the language. I help you understand it. In our lessons, you will stop translating word by word and gain clarity in speaking, listening comprehension, and grammar. I also prepare students for TEF / TCF with a focused, efficient approach (live lessons or custom self-study TCF / TEF prep guide available). Note : Confidentiality is maintained: lessons are never recorded, all shared materials remain private. I work best with motivated adult learners who want structured, thoughtful learning. I offer a limited number of lessons each week. Thank you for your understanding. See you in the classroom, Teacher Lola

I am jovial by nature, a patient listener, and a compassionate teacher. With me, you will learn your target language in the easiest and the best possible way. I will make sure to make you as comfortable as possible. I strongly believe that the best learning takes place inside of a casual conversation and in a friendly environment, rather than in a formal setting with strict rules and regulations. During our lessons, I would encourage you to speak more about diverse topics of your interest, and I would give you corrections at the end of the lessons rather than interrupting you in between conversations because I really think that the conversations should naturally flow from the student.

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.
