CELTA certification acquired in December 2020. My experience started in 2018 in Peru where I taught English in two language schools for a year. In the meantime I applied to be a community tutor here at Italki where I have been teaching not only English but also Portuguese and Spanish. My passion for teaching only grew with the time so I took a CELTA certificate in the end of 2020 and this experience provided me with a solid base and opened the way in many aspects of my career.

Isn't it annoying when you are talking to your teacher and you are thinking about grammar, or you know that you made a mistake but your teacher isn't correcting you? I know I hate it. It's a waste of time and money. In our lessons, I will ALWAYS correct you, by writing down or interrupting to tell you this was mispronounced, grammatically incorrect or if it doesn’t sound right or natural. I have experience in teaching non-native Arabic speakers. I have taught many students and they all loved the language. I can teach children and adults in a simple and uncomplicated way. I am patient and friendly. I am flexible, I don't have a problem if a student asks me to change the topic or reschedule

Feel confident speaking English! English & Brazilian Portuguese Do you understand English but feel nervous when you have to speak? Do you know some English but still find it difficult to have a conversation? I can help you! Hi! I’m Fabiana, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and I’ve lived in four different countries. I also lived in two countries to learn English, so I know how challenging it can be to learn and speak a new language. I remember being afraid of making mistakes, not knowing the right word, and feeling insecure about my pronunciation. That’s why I want my lessons to be a safe and relaxed space where you can practice without fear. I’ve worked for international companies, including Google and Nestlé, where I used English every day. I can help you improve your English for everyday conversations, work, travel, interviews, or simply to feel more confident speaking. My lessons are practical, relaxed, and adapted to your level and goals. In our first lesson, we’ll get to know each other, talk about your goals, and understand what you need to improve. Then, we’ll build the lessons around you. You don’t need to speak perfectly. You just need to start. 😊 I’d love to meet you and help you feel more confident speaking English! See you in class!

    Rhyia is such an interesting and thoughtful person to talk to, while also being very easygoing and bringing a great energy to every lesson. Our conversations always feel natural, engaging and really enjoyable. The biggest change for me is confidence: lessons with Rhyia have made me want to speak English much more, worry less about making mistakes, and simply enjoy the conversation instead of overthinking every sentence. I really look forward to every lesson with her. Recommend her without hesitation!

    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. I spent a lot of time looking for the right English teacher before finding Eja, and I’m so glad I found her.Thank you, Eja, for being such an important part of my English journey!

    My daughter has been taking lessons with Naomi for the past two years, and she absolutely loves them. Naomi takes the time to understand her interests and incorporates them into the learning process, which makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable. She quickly identifies the areas where my daughter needs additional support and works on them patiently and consistently. At the same time, she encourages her strengths and helps her become more confident in speaking English. The lessons are well structured but never boring, and I can see clear progress in both my daughter’s language skills and confidence. Naomi is kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely cares about her students. We are very happy to have found her and would highly recommend her as an English teacher.

    I highly recommend her as an English teacher. What I value most is how well she customizes each class to the specific needs of the student. 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. Every class feels relevant and tailored specifically to me rather than following a standard lesson plan.

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.

    ⚠️ Warning: studying with Hala may turn your language lessons into unexpectedly interesting conversations. Hala is young, intelligent, and genuinely passionate about what she does. One of the things I enjoy most about learning with her is that you can talk to her about almost anything. Whether it’s something related to the lesson or a completely random topic like cybersecurity, AI, nature, global problems, technology, or culture, she usually has something interesting to add. What I also appreciate is her curiosity. She engages with the topic, asks questions, shares her own perspective, and is always open to a good debate — which makes the lessons much more interesting. And here’s the thing: for the level of effort, energy, and good vibes Hala brings, the price she charges feels almost like a rip-off — in the best way possible. If you’re looking for a teacher who is smart, passionate, curious, and easy to talk to, I can wholeheartedly recommend Hala.

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.
