Teacher with 10 years of experience having taught more than 9000 lessons. Hello fellow language learners! My name is Utsav, and I'm 28 years old. I have an avid interest in languages, especially the languages I natively speak (Hindi, English and Punjabi). I spend most of my free time learning languages, working out and playing videos games. I am extremely well-versed with Hindi and Punjabi grammar and know it inside and out. I also have a lot of experience learning languages myself, so I'm not just another native speaker. I can also provide tips on how to effectively learn languages. Hindi and Punjabi as languages just look difficult, but once you start to understand what is happening, all that complexity just vanishes. I have a lot of teaching experience since I've been with Italki for 10 years now and it has been fantastic! I have built students up from just saying "namaste" or "sat sri akal" to forming complex sentences and being able to convey what they're thinking. My method of teaching is very grammatical and logical, along with lots of speaking practice. When you start learning with me, you will know exactly what you're saying and why Hindi/Punjabi speakers speak a certain way. I absolutely love answering questions, and I am extremely patient when I teach because I genuinely want my student to understand what they're saying. Basically, if you EVER have a question, you can interrupt me anytime you want, or if we're not in a lesson, you can send me a text and I will promptly reply to you!

Build Confidence, Fluency and a Natural American Accent with a Pro 🇺🇸 Want to speak English with confidence—so you feel relaxed and engaged? I’ll help you express yourself naturally, clearly in real conversations. Whether you’re preparing for an interview, a presentation, life in the US or UK, or want to stop translating in your head, our lessons will focus on the English you actually need. Hello from Hollywood! 🎬 I’m Peter, a professional actor, director, and accent coach. I’m a native English speaker from California and studied English and Acting at UCLA. In LA, I’ve coached actors to refine their accents and prepare for TV and Film. I now bring that same attention to pronunciation and natural speech to my students. Teaching runs in my family—my mother is an English teacher, my father has a PhD in physics. I taught SAT preparation to Chinese students in New York, then taught English with Berlitz in Santa Monica and Puerto Rico and at ELS Language Centers. My lessons are flexible and very interactive. You’ll speak a lot, while I correct mistakes naturally and explain them. We'll focus on conversation, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, accent reduction, interviews, or presentations. I’m also a language learner, having studied French, Spanish, Russian, and some Chinese, so I understand how difficult it can be to sound natural in another language. Let’s make your English clear, confident, and natural! 🇺🇸 (Я говорю по-русски на среднем уровне. Это помогает моим русским студентам учиться быстро и легко. ישראלים מוזמנים בברכה, 我非常喜欢教中国学生讲英语。

University of Toronto graduate, BS. Animal lover, anime fan, and a huge nerd when it comes to games! Hello! My name is Stanislav, but everyone calls me Stan. I am a 50-year-old teacher from Bosnia, married, a father, a war veteran, and a Bachelor of Science graduate from the University of Toronto. I have been using English for well over 30 years, not only as a language, but as a tool for thinking, learning, teaching, and arguing politely — most of the time. My background is a bit unusual. I am a computer engineer by trade, I also have a welder’s license, worked as an archivist, and served in the military. Because of that, I bring real-life experience, discipline, humor, and patience into my lessons. I love cats, dogs, gaming, music, movies, anime, reading, and learning new things. As a teacher, I believe in clear explanations, critical thinking, and step-by-step progress. Students do not become fluent by magic. They improve by trying, making mistakes, asking questions, correcting those mistakes, and trying again. My job is to guide that process calmly and patiently. My students often describe me as kind, funny, patient, and easy to talk to. I enjoy interactive lessons with real conversation, useful vocabulary, honest opinions, and questions that make students think. However, I can also be structured and “old school” when needed: grammar, textbooks, exercises, correction, and repetition. My goal is simple: to help you become more confident, more precise, and more natural in English — one useful step at a time.

Intermediate and Up for Adult students - Conversations / IELTS / CELPIP / Interviews and more! 📢 Note: I do not teach children or teens under 18. Thanks for understanding! 😊 Hi! I’m Michael Robson, a Canadian English teacher from Vancouver. I’ve taught adult learners from around the world, and I’m thrilled to meet you here on iTalki. I specialize in conversation, pronunciation and fluency. Thank you to all my students for being kind, respectful, and open to different cultures. You’re the reason I love this work. 🙏 In the past I’ve worked in teaching academies with 5-15 students each class (students ranged from every part of the world). I look forward to working with you on your conversation skills to help you in your future endeavours! I have a range of fun topics that should last us for weeks. Once our conversation topics are done, we can jump into some fun topics in an advanced Listening and Speaking textbook :) . I am happy to help you with Conversational English, IELTS/CELPIP, and interviews in some industries. I won’t dominate the class with my own voice, and I will encourage you to use as much English as possible! Communication: Please select 'Zoom' as communication tools (not iTalki, which has limitations) :) If you prefer 腾讯会议 that works for me too! Please note: I appreciate all my students who show up on time! Please change/cancel 24hrs before the class starts, or the class will be confirmed and paid. As is standard on iTalki, if you are 15 minutes late for the class, the class is paid and finished. :)

    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’ve had a wonderful time taking RP pronunciation classes with Anna. Her British accent is perfect, and she picks excellent course materials. Anna is so patient — she constantly asks if I have any questions. I’ve improved a lot in my pronunciation under her guidance.

    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.

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 much does an English tutor cost?

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.

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.

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.
