Professional Native English Teacher | Learn English with Confidence, Fluency, and Creativity! Hello! My name is Ethan. I am a 24 y.o. American who has lived in Poland for the past couple of years, and have been teaching English professionally for over a year now. I have a background in international relations and am beginning a masters in Environmental Protection soon. I prioritize communicative lessons that allow you to break down confidence barriers. Language is about communication after all, not perfection. Having learned Polish from scratch over the past 7 years, I did it through natural immersion and understand the value of freely speaking. It's important to have a space to speak in a safe manner where you won't be judged and have the time to self-correct, moving at your own pace as you improve your English. As a professional teacher, I weave this communicative style into lessons that incorporate grammar, writing, reading, and listening practice. I can tailor to your specific needs, interests, and meet you where you are. I have taught students of all age groups and levels, so I am flexible and possess experience in the various methods and styles necessary to support you in your English journey. I look forward to talking with you and seeing how I can become a part of helping you become a confident, fluent speaker! :D

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.

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.

All lessons take place online, so you can connect with an English tutor from anywhere, whether you’re at home, traveling, or between commitments. You aren’t limited to local options; you can choose from certified English teachers from all over the world, and tutors who specialize in your goals.

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.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, and read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good English teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Yes, italki offers English tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find English tutors for beginners, English tutors for kids, and English tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, English grammar, or specialized areas like exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC) and business English. Whatever your goal, there’s an English tutor for it.

How much does an English tutor cost?

English tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private English tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find an English tutor that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute online English lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

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.
  • ⚡ Tutors adjust your English lessons and pace based on how you learn

Many learners combine online English tutoring with self-study, such as podcasts or reading, to reinforce what they learn and stay consistent between lessons.

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. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

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.
