Get the IELTS score you need with an experienced British IELTS specialist I’m Trent, a dedicated and experienced IELTS specialist from The UK. I have 5 years of experience related to the exam and have helped hundreds of successful IELTS candidates. I offer large discounts for lessons via Zoom and Google Meet as I don't wish to use italki classroom. I use official Cambridge English IELTS materials and have taken the exam myself so that I truly understand the student experience. I got a 9 on the speaking section. I also offer general speaking/conversational English improvement. I only teach those who are 16 or older. If you are a parent looking for classes for a child below the age of 16, please look elsewhere. We can use whatever materials you wish for conversation or your other goals. I use news articles to improve your general English. This will help your reading comprehension, vocabulary and pronunciation. I'll ask you questions about the articles afterwards, which will help your speaking confidence. I've been learning Spanish for over 3 years, so I understand how hard learning a language can be.

A true California girl with 14+ years of professional teaching experience I'm a happy full-time volunteer. I like to keep things simple and see where I can do some good. I decided to pursue this career when I was 13, and I swear, I've never gone back! Sometimes it means giving things up, but there is always more to be found. Oh, and I fell in love with a man with a motto: "Get cape. Wear cape. Fly." Keep it simple. A good teacher is an excellent student. I teach myself first. We learn together. Keep a sense of humor, while respecting everyone's dignity. Don't get stuck. Enjoy the process, but keep your eyes on the prize! I've always loved teaching and reading and studying- EXCEPT for grammar. But when I started to see the practical applications of grammar knowledge in the TESL field, I loved it! I get lost in the grammar study so you don't have to. I'll tell you only what you need to know. I especially enjoy teaching B-1, B-2 levels who are looking to improve conversation skills. Classes are dynamic and progressive. In a structured yet informal way, we will break into new comfort zones of language use through conversation and feedback, with supplemental activities scattered throughout. Homework is optional but encouraged.

I am an extrovert which means I can hold a good conversation with everyone I meet. I love to read and go shopping during my spare time. I love meeting people from all over the world. I love children and I interact with them regularly through teaching preschool children to speak, read and write English in order to prepare them for primary school. I am a patient teacher who is a good listener. I do not believe in scolding a learner when he or she makes a mistake. I am organized and punctual. I believe in having a healthy teacher/student relationship that will help the student be at ease with me during lessons. My lessons are freeform. This means that the student and I can talk about any subject they wish to talk about. During the conversation with the student, I can then pick up on the student's grammatical, pronunciation and articulation errors. During lessons, I can also work on the student's comprehension skills through reading articles with the student.

20+ Years Experience | Certified ESL Specialist for Kids & Adults | Fun & Engaging Hello! My name is Charlaine, and I live in Ottawa, Canada. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Fundamentals and Methodology of Education, two TESOL certifications, and a teacher aide certification. I am an active person who loves the outdoors, traveling, and learning about new cultures.

Confident English for Work, Teams & Life Abroad You already know more English than you think. You read articles, watch videos, and understand most of what people say. But when it's your turn to speak, something stops you: you pause, translate in your head, or lose your sentence halfway through. That's not just a grammar problem. That's a speaking problem — and it's exactly what we work on together. Hi, I'm Vitaliy 👋 I'm an English teacher from Ukraine with 6+ years of experience. I also studied at a U.S. high school, so I know how English actually sounds in real life, not just in textbooks. I work with adults who already have a base in English but feel stuck when speaking: at work, in international communication, or in daily life abroad. This may be a good fit for you if you: – understand English well but feel slow or unsure when speaking – know what to say, but lose it halfway through – want to sound more natural, not just more correct In lessons, we work on the speaking process itself: – reacting without pausing to translate – keeping a conversation going when you can't find a word – structuring your thoughts while speaking – expressing your ideas clearly and naturally In our first lesson, I'll look at how you currently speak, understand what slows you down, and set one clear focus for the next lessons. No random topics — only focused practice based on your real speaking needs. If that sounds like what you've been looking for, I'd love to work with you. Book a lesson and let's see what we can build together 🙌

Helping professionals improve English fluency, confidence, and communication skills I grew up in London, England. Bilingual in Russian and English, speaking French, Spanish and Italian, with additional experience learning German. One of top business graduates from a prestigious London university and a qualified accountant, I have worked in the City of London within a major financial institution in finance, and more recently retrained and transitioned into data. This professional background strongly informs my approach to Business English and professional communication. I have many years of teaching experience, working with students of all ages and levels to improve fluency, accuracy, and confidence in English. I have supported learners preparing for professional exams, job interviews, and career progression, as well as those aiming to communicate more naturally in everyday life. My teaching focuses on structured progression combined with flexible, personalised lessons tailored to your goals. I believe consistent practice and independent study are key to real progress, and I guide students in developing both. I am supportive and patient, but also structured and goal-oriented. My aim is to help you communicate more clearly and confidently in English, while keeping lessons engaging and motivating. All materials are provided, though I also welcome student materials when relevant.

    Stanislav is a wonderful teacher! Our lessons are called "Discussions about weekly topics and news," and this format suits me perfectly. He always offers several articles to choose from, so we never run out of interesting topics. After just a few lessons, we built a great atmosphere where we can freely jump from world politics to video games =) Stanislav is interested in so many things that everyone can find something to talk about with him. What I appreciate most is how he adapts the conversation to my interests and always has something to add. He is also very punctual and charismatic. Thanks to him, I've noticed real progress: I can now start a conversation on any topic without hesitation. If you're looking for speaking practice at any level, I can't recommend Stanislav enough!

    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.

    Smith老师是一位很好的老师,在跟着老师学习之前,我英语基础很差,很难开口说完整句子,目前距离第一次试课不到20天,上了5次课,加上日常练习和完成作业,已经可以针对一个话题说2-3分钟的口语(其实五分钟以上也可以)。Smith老师的一些学习方法也给了我一些深入学习英语的启发 非常非常幸运能遇到Smith老师 I initially came to italki because I felt completely stuck when trying to speak English out, and practicing on my own just wasn't working. Mrs. Smith is incredibly patient. She customizes the lessons based on my specific needs and speaks at a perfect pace. Whenever I don't understand something, she always finds a different way to explain it until I get it. She also makes sure to send me the lesson documents after class. After less than 20 days of learning with her, combined with my own practice, I can now speak continuously for 2-3 minutes on a given topic. She also taught me some highly effective learning methods, like how to internalize new language chunks into my own expressions. I am so grateful for Mrs. Smith's help. Thanks to her, learning English has actually become one of my hobbies now.

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. 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!

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.

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.

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.

  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, and read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.

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.

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.

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.
