IELTS SPEAKING PRACTICE AND ENGLISH CONVERSATION SKILLS WHICH ENGLISH SKILL DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH MOST? LET ME GUESS - SPEAKING. AM I RIGHT? But think about it - isn't that what you are trying to do - learn how to SPEAK English? What's the point of perfect grammar if you can't talk to people? NO POINT AT ALL! The modern way to learn a language is not by studying grammar. It's by listening and speaking, reading and writing; the grammar rules are learned on the way. Think how it would feel to get the grade you need on your IELTS exam. How would it change your life? A university place? A new job? The chance to travel? I love helping people to actually SPEAK English. I've done it here on italki for 8 years, simply with conversation. Now I also want to help people to pass their IELTS Speaking exam - it can be the most difficult part. But we all know, IELTS opens so many doors! I'm a native English speaker and I have a CELTA certificate in teaching English to adults, from a British language school. I offer mostly 30-minute lessons - because that's the perfect amount of time to have a great conversation! Or to practise an IELTS skill. An hour can be too long - for you as well as me! Why not book a 30-minute trial lesson with me? We can discuss what your goals and your needs are. See you then!

I have helped many students and friends improve their confidence speaking English through conversations. I have come to understand that most English learners know more English than they give themselves credit for. I always encourage students and friends to be proud of the English they are able to use, and I am happy to give pointers on the way.

Hi everyone! My name is Crystal, and I’m a native English speaker from Canada with a passion for language learning and cultural exchange. I am TEFL certified and have been teaching English online since 2024, to both kids and adults, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. ✈️ I know exactly what it feels like to land in a new country without knowing a single word—I did it at 17 when I moved to Turkey for 10 months as a high school exchange student. Since then, I’ve also experienced living in Indonesia, Spain, Singapore, Korea, and Thailand, picking up new languages and cultural insights along the way. In July 2026, I also moved to Japan for a working holiday for one year and now I'm learning Japanese. Having lived in several different countries and studied various different languages, I fully understand the challenges of mastering a new language. Currently, I am studying Thai and Japanese, and my teaching methods are very much rooted in my own experiences as a student. 📙My lessons focus on helping you speak more confidently and fluently. I provide resources such as short news articles, textbook exercises, discussion questions, videos, or images to guide our discussions during class. If writing is one of your goals, we can also work on that together and review corrections in class. During each lesson, I will provide a Google Docs file where I note down new vocabulary, useful expressions, and corrections so you can review after the lesson.

University English-Vietnamese Teacher Hello! My name is Vy - living in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. I was born in the North and have moved to the South for 10 years, so I can speak Vietnamese in TWO ACCENTS. If you're interested in any of them or wanna understand both accents, I might be suitable with you. I've travelled most of the cities and provinces in Vietnam, so I am quite knowledgable about diverse cultures and people there. I have experience in tutoring Vietnamese for foreingers such as Thai, Chinese and Taiwanese in all levels from kids to adults. I am a teacher and a friend at the same time. So, being more helpful and understanding to students' concerns and difficulties are more practiced. I will help my students in a lot of ways for them to learn a language I am knowledgeable about and help them to be confident with it. I am patient, friendly, optimistic, cheerful and passionate especially when it comes to teaching. My major is English and Chinese linguistics, so it is easier for me to connect with students since I've been on the same boat. I am very much honored to share my knowledge and help people achieve their goals in learning a language. My lessons always depend on the student's needs and level, but they are also free to request for specific types of lessons they want to have. My lessons are also planned in advance and I will provide you with the study material and documents that you can refer to during and after the class.

You can call me Vera and I am a native Indonesian speaker from Surabaya. I work as an academic in a university. I have been teaching professionally both online and in class for more than 10 years. My experience in teaching many backgrounds (from kids to adults) is one of my strengths, therefore, I am able to create effective and innovative materials for my prospective students. I have years of experience in teaching both English and Indonesian for expatriates and foreign students since 2010. Currently, I am learning French, German, and Polish, thus, I know the challenges in learning new languages which are totally different from our mother tongue. For me, learning language is not only about grammar and structure but also about its culture. By immersing yourself in Indonesian culture and its context will help you understand more about this language. Learning language should be fun! I will accommodate your preferences in learning based on your requests. I use many tools from textbook, video files, PPT, articles/news, and/or assign you with homework if you want to. Kids and adults are welcome :) Sampai jumpa di kelas! P.S. Please consult with me if you want a specific and/or intensive schedule, I can send you a lesson invitation from Italki (if you can't find any available schedule)

Pharmacist & Science Teacher | TESOL Certified | Medical & Scientific English Specialist My name is Melissa and I am a TESOL certified English teacher from Southern California with a 5-star rating and over 1000 lessons on italki. What sets me apart: I hold a doctorate in pharmacy, an undergraduate degree in biology, and a science teaching credential. I spent years as a clinical pharmacist and have been teaching chemistry for nine years. This gives me a highly specialized vocabulary in science and medicine that most English teachers simply don't have. I work with science and medical professionals looking to improve their professional English, and with intermediate to advanced learners who want to build fluency and real command of the language. I also host a podcast that teaches English in context to non-native speakers. My classroom is always a comfortable, judgment-free space. I'm patient and friendly, and I give feedback in a constructive way so you never feel afraid to make mistakes. Lessons are flexible and always student-centered. We build fluency through conversation and reading articles aloud — which improves pronunciation while exposing you to new vocabulary and grammar structures. We can also prepare for presentations, review your written work, or practice for job or school interviews. I am a native speaker with a neutral American accent. Let's get to work!

    I have been taking weekly classes with Ariadne for more than a year now, sometimes choosing Structured Speaking Practice and sometimes Free Conversation, and I always really enjoy our lessons. She creates such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time giving really helpful corrections and suggestions. I especially appreciate the detailed written feedback after each lesson, which is extremely useful. Our Free Conversation lessons always feel very natural, and we discuss a wide range of interesting and varied topics. This has not only helped me expand my vocabulary, but also improved my fluency and, most importantly, my confidence when speaking English. The Structured Speaking Practice lessons are just as enjoyable and effective. Each session is thoughtfully structured—balancing speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary practice in a perfect way. Ariadne is professional, punctual, always well-prepared, and I can recommend her without any hesitation.

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!

She takes the time to understand not only your level of English, but also your professional context, communication challenges, and specific goals. Her approach is very practical and focused on real situations. She quickly identifies what you need to improve and provides simple, effective techniques that you can immediately apply. I especially appreciate how she helps me communicate complex ideas in a clearer, more concise and natural way, particularly in professional presentations. She is an excellent listener, very attentive to detail, and genuinely committed to helping her students improve.

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 ?

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

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.
