Me as a Teacher I can help with pronunciation, phrasal verbs, prepositions, basic vocabulary and basic general conversational skills about general topics. I only tutor students that are 16 years old or older. Students must be able to comprehend basic questions without much difficulty to take this class. If you frequently struggle to understand basic spoken American English questions/instructions then I won't be able to tutor you. I only tutor students that are A2 level or higher.

Hi french learners, here is a new quiz in vocabulary, good luck!!!

Can you pronounce these vowels correctly in American English? Have you ever had someone from the United States judge your pronunciation of American English vowel sounds? I have availability if you'd like to book one of my tutoring lessons! Check out my schedule and book a lesson! I've tutored over 3,600 lessons!

Anyone want me to help them learn how to speak clear and understandable American English so they could have a conversation with someone? Maybe it's for work or travel? If you're wanting to sound more understandable to native English speakers from the US then check out my tutor profile! I have availability this weekend!

Hello! Welcome to Italki! Did you know that each community tutor and professional teacher on Italki is different? Not every tutor and teacher helps teach kids. Not every tutor and teacher helps with professional business English. Not every tutor and teacher helps with test prep. Not every tutor and teacher helps students at every single language level. Each tutor and teacher you encounter on Italki has a different way of helping and different things they can help with. It's not a one size fits all type of thing. There's so much variety on Italki. The best advice I can give you from being a tutor myself on Italki for 7 years is to read a tutor or teachers profile completely before booking a lesson with them. Learn as much as you can about them before booking their class. Also if you're looking for free language exchange the best way to find that is going to the community section on Italki and looking for other posts that mention free language exchange. If you message a tutor or teacher on Italki chances are they will not help you for free.

When you're having a face to face conversation with someone you don't want to make them do all the work to try to 'figure out what you're trying to say.' You want a clear, flowing, natural conversation with someone. You want to learn what to say and how to say it. And chances are if you're talking with a friend or family member or coworker they aren't going to directly tell you that they didn't understand you completely. You most likely have never been told exactly what you say wrong. Most students have no idea. They know they struggle but they've never actually been told if it's pronunciation or vocabulary or sentence structure. They have never really had someone from the United States really listen to all the sounds that come out of their mouth and watch what their mouth does (If it moves much or not.) Most students are taught that pronunciation isn't important.... then they wonder why they still have such a strong accent that sounds nothing at all like American English. Here are a few ways that I can help you improve your spoken American English so you sound more clear and understandable to native English speakers. That way when you speak to someone they don't have to depend on context which can lead to confusion and mis understanding. I could have a conversation with you and point out either your pronunciation mistakes or your sentence structure mistakes depending on which you choose or you can choose to get corrections on both. You would get typed and verbal corrections from me. I could teach you pronunciation skills. For example how to pronounce short vowels, long vowels and more. I could also help you learn phrasal verbs (most students know and use some but they don't know or use many of them). Prepositions (many students forget to use these or don't use the right one. Vocabulary. I've tutored 3,618 Lessons since August of 2018. You can improve your American English speaking. Check out my tutor schedule and my tutor profile!
