    I booked a session to prepare for moderating an executive roundtable dinner in English, and it was far more than a language class. Ellen researched the topic in advance, helped me sharpen my ideas, and gave precise, practical feedback on pronunciation and on how I come across in the room. I left feeling genuinely ready. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for a high-stakes professional conversation or public speaking.

    I had my 377th lesson with Ed today, and it’s incredible how consistently high the quality of his teaching remains. He’s always looking for new, effective ways to make our lessons even better. His support goes beyond the lessons themselves—he also prepares review materials and tools to help me practise between sessions. I really appreciate the care and effort he puts into my learning. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English!

    James is an excellent teacher and a wonderful person. During our first lesson, he asked about my goals and suggested a plan. In our lessons, we work a lot on preparing for business interviews and learning how to talk about my work experience and projects. One of my main problems is nervousness. It is very difficult for me to answer unexpected questions. I start mixing up tenses and using the same words again and again. James helps me deal with my nervousness in a calm and friendly way. He also helps me sound more confident in English. It was especially important for me that he corrected my mistakes and pronunciation instead of only saying, “You’re doing great.” This really helps me improve and grow. I also really like the friendly and comfortable atmosphere during the lessons. We can laugh about some things, and this helps me stay involved and enjoy the learning process.

    Adam is turning into my English coach more than my English teacher. His new method aims to teach you a new way of learning a language. The ultimate goal of his classes is for you to become an independent student. He wants you to learn how to learn by yourself. The key point is to understand how the process of learning a language works and take advantage of it. Not only do his classes have plenty of content, but he also shows you a refreshing way of making notes, reviewing them, and making connections to transform all your passive English into active English. I've started using power tools like Anki, Obsidian, Youglish, Readlang and English-Corpora, a whole set of resources to take my English to the next level.

    My 8-year-old daughter Anna had her first introductory lesson with Tom, and it was brilliant. Tom was very patient, friendly and funny, which helped Anna feel comfortable right away. The lesson was engaging, and the material was well structured and perfectly suited to her level. I was also particularly impressed by Tom’s pronunciation. In my opinion, he has a very clear and easy-to-understand pronunciation, which is especially valuable for children who are learning English.

    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!
