Native British English Tutor | Business, Conversation & Interviews Hi! I’m Emmanuel, a native British English speaker from the United Kingdom. I have taught over 60 English lessons on Preply, helping students improve their speaking confidence, communicate more naturally, and build fluency through engaging conversations and personalised feedback. As someone who is currently learning Japanese myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language—from remembering vocabulary and building sentences to finding the confidence to speak. That’s why I create a relaxed, supportive environment where mistakes are welcomed as part of the learning process. I specialise in conversational English, Business English, interview preparation, and workplace communication. Whether you want to communicate more confidently at work, prepare for meetings or interviews, improve your professional vocabulary, or simply become a more fluent English speaker, I will tailor each lesson to your goals and interests. I can also help with pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, email writing, presentations, and correcting mistakes naturally during conversation. My aim is to help you sound more confident, natural, and professional in English.

Native Portuguese & CELTA-Certified English Teacher | Personalized Lessons | 9 Years of Experience Hey, I'm Tati! I’ve been teaching English and Portuguese for 9 years, 5 of them online. Before that, I tried being a lawyer—but quickly realized my passion was elsewhere. A year of volunteer work across Europe led me to teaching, and I never looked back. Since then, I’ve lived in China, Europe, and Argentina, while traveling through South America, Southeast Asia, and beyond. I’m always on the move, teaching as I go. I also speak Spanish and French, and I’m currently learning Italian. I’ve worked with children, teenagers, adults, and corporate learners. I taught at different language schools in Brazil and China, and I’ve been teaching on iTalki for about 5 years. For Portuguese, I’m a native speaker and create my own lesson materials. I have structured lessons for every level and learning style, but I also design fully customized lessons. For English, I’m CELTA-certified and experienced in General English, Business English, and exam preparation. I tailor every lesson to your goals and preferred learning style. Tired of repeating the same type of lesson or following a coursebook that feels too easy—or too hard? I personalize every lesson. Not sure what you need? I’ll help you figure it out. We won’t waste time on topics you already know or on things that are too advanced right now. Why go over the present simple again when what you actually need is to survive the airport? Every class comes with materials, homework, and feedback. And yes—I will push you to talk!

Casual Conversations or Structured Classes, you decide! 8 years ago I finished my studies with a second bachelor in Business, with great honorees. Immediately after that I started travelling and I never really stopped. I've lived in Korea, Philippines, Australia, New-Zealand and travelled around in 20+ other countries. Along the way, I picked up fire dancing as a hobby, and there I discovered a passion for teaching. To fund these travels, I worked as a Logistic Planner, Lab Assistant, Hotel Manager, Property Manager, WH Supervisor, HR-consultant and Carpenter. 4 years ago, I started helping immigrants with their English in Canada. Then a friend immigrated to the Netherlands, so i started helping her with that language. From there on, the Dutch-tutor-ball got rolling. I love one-on-one teaching because of 2 things: 1) how people learn is incredibly interesting for me. Different people learn in different ways, and the brain science behind these ways of learning is fascinating to me. And I do approach it like a scientist: testing something new, seeing how it works, and try to optimize it based on how well people retain it. 2) YOU. Through one-on-one teaching, i get the chance to really get to know the student. All the different kind of stories people can share, is the most rewarding for me, personally. I am currently travelling on my motorbike from Canada to Argentina. Lots of experiences, but that doesn't mean i don't take my classes seriously. That just means i got a lot of experiences to share too!

Advanced English Teacher and Accent Coach with Focus on Confident Conversation and Pronunciation Hi! I'm Stacey. I've worked as a speech pathologist in public schools and as an English teacher in Japan. My specialty in speech was articulation and fluency disorders. Now my focus is on conversational English and accent training with adults. I work primarily with upper intermediate to advanced students and my goal is to help these students feel confident and powerful in English so they can communicate in the way they want. I work to help people express themselves authentically in English so that they can speak anywhere and with anyone. I provide guidance for grammar, word choice, and pronunciation in conversational lessons so that students can learn to speak without fearing mistakes and develop new habits. Here on italki, I am best equipped to work with adult students who are at an intermediate to advanced level in English. I primarily address expanding conversational skills and refining grammar and vocabulary use. This can be for both spoken and written language. I like to include my students' interests when possible, which can mean discussing an article about a hobby or sport a student likes, studying vocabulary and phrases for an upcoming trip abroad, or practicing natural sounding pronunciation and slang. It's my goal to make language learning as fun and practical as possible. *If you request a lesson in the italki classroom, we may need to change to a zoom or Google meeting.*

English Teacher and American Sign Language Teacher For Children Hi! My name is Lucy, and I am so excited to share with you American Sign Language or help you learn English! English is my native language, and I have studied ASL for nearly 15 years, both in high school and college programs. I have been tutoring for 6 years. I am an enthusiastic people person and absolutely love teaching! I love meeting new people and learning everything I can. I am a life long learner, and am always trying to improve as a teacher too. I am currently in college majoring in elementary education. I have been teaching ASL through various online platforms for 6 years now. (I started April 2020.) I teach children. For English, I teach any level of students. I have the most experience teaching children, but can teach adult students as well. When I teach kids, I structure my classes like games to encourage enjoyment of learning! No child wants to learn if they are bored, so I am enthusiastic and creative with my lessons. I work with each student on an individual basis to help them learn efficiently while respecting each student's preferred learning speed and learning style. For English, expect homework to do in between classes. For ASL, I also send videos of new vocabulary so you can practice throughout the week and not forget anything. I hope to see you soon!

    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.

He helped me not only improve my English, but also structure my answers more effectively and present my experience in a clear and confident way. Most importantly, he gave me a lot more confidence going into the interview. I really appreciated his practical approach and the feedback he provided throughout the lesson.

    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. Overall, she has helped me become more confident and effective when communicating in English, and I would highly recommend her.

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.

    William is very patient and also very supportive. If I don’t express something clearly, he will guide me through it with great patience. He’s also a great conversationalist and has a good sense of humor. When I’m in his class, I never worry about running out of things to talk about. He’s also very open to sharing his own life experiences and stories, which makes for great conversations. In fact, after his classes, I often find that I’ve not only improved my English — for example, he likes to teach slang and other natural expressions — but I’ve also gained something personally from the experience.

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.

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.
