Experienced KIDS English teacher with a caring and fun approach (ages 10-16). Hi! I’m Gemma, a passionate English teacher specializing in helping kids and teens build confidence and fluency. Born in England, I’ve lived across the UK - from bustling London to scenic South Wales - and bring a clear, friendly Southern English accent to lessons. With a degree from the University of East London and 4,000+ lessons taught, I’ve guided students from Saudi Arabia to South Korea, blending patience with fun. When not teaching, I’m reading, painting, or watching documentaries! I have lots of experience teaching English to children online and really love to help them improve their skills and confidence. I have taught students from many countries including Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, Turkey, Ukraine, France, South Korea and Brazil. I have a patient approach to my students and always ensure they are comfortable in my classes. I aim to encourage them and push to improve their skills gradually over our time together. My teaching style is always kind and patient. I want my classroom to be a positive and understanding place, so I do not pressure students or make them feel bad about forgetting things. We practice and make mistakes together - that is how we learn the best! During class, it is helpful if your child can use earphones or headphones. This is to ensure there are no sound problems through the device speakers which can often happen :)

Build your confidence as an English speaker!💪 Howdy! Hoi! Hallöchen! ¿Qué onda? I’m Rachel—your new English teacher and language lover! With 9+ years teaching across Berlin, Thailand, and now sunny Mexico City, I specialize in helping adults, kids, and teens speak with confidence. I've worked with students of ALL ages and ALL levels so I'm happy to begin wherever you are in your journey. My main goal is to help you build confidence. It's okay to make mistakes! I'm very patient, so you can take your time with me. I am here to help you learn and we will have fun. I try to speak with a "neutral" accent so you can understand me more easily :) I started learning German at 15, Dutch at 25, and Spanish at 27. It's never too late to start learning a language and the most important part of learning is having a good teacher who you can trust and feel comfortable with. Lessons: **Because my daily teaching schedule consists of back-to-back lessons with no breaks in between, our lesson could end 2-3 minutes early or start 2-3 late. Cancellations within 24 hours will be charged at 100%, except for emergencies.** During lessons, you will speak A LOT. Our lessons will be easygoing, enjoyable, and fun. You will finish feeling good about yourself and quickly recognize your improvement. I will also provide you with materials such as worksheets, articles, etc. to help you improve in all areas of the language - speaking, reading, writing, and listening. It's all important!

    Ben speaks remarkably clear and refined English, making him very easy to follow. He has a wonderful personality, he is incredibly kind, patient, and truly cares about his students’ progress. He also speaks fluent natural Japanese with a beautiful very clear accent. With his deep understanding of Japanese culture, he intuitively understands where Japanese learners might struggle and makes it easy to ask any questions in Japanese whenever needed. He has my highest recommendation!

    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.
