Experienced Native English Teacher | Friendly, Engaging Lessons Hello! My name is Tom, and I’m an American English teacher with approximately five years of combined in-person and online teaching experience, primarily in Thailand. I help intermediate English learners speak more naturally, build their vocabulary, and feel more confident communicating in English. **My background:** * Bachelor of Science in Psychology * TESOL certification * Experience teaching in universities, language institutes, government organizations, and through private tutoring * Experience teaching both children and adults **What I can help you with:** * Conversational English and fluency * Pronunciation and natural-sounding English * Expanding your vocabulary * Building confidence when speaking * Developing practical, real-world communication skills I particularly enjoy working with intermediate learners who want to move beyond simply knowing English and become more comfortable actually using it. My background in psychology has also taught me that every learner is different, so I tailor my lessons to your needs, interests, and goals. My lessons are practical, relaxed, and supportive, with plenty of opportunities for you to speak. I’m always happy to use your interests as a starting point for conversation and to make lessons relevant to your everyday life. Outside of teaching, I enjoy music, cinema, yoga, and, like many people, trying to keep my Wordle streak alive! I look forward to helping you reach your English goals.

I am back NY, I will do a course here but I will still work 40 hours around this course :) The video contains the following subjects: 00:00-01:05 Speaking English and Dutch, 01;05-03:20 The problems of learning Dutch you may encounter, 03:20-06:02 The languages i can speak at various levels. (*side note about the one negative comment. That day I needed to go to the hospital, it was a trial lesson with this student and he jumped straight to conlusions about me cancelling that lesson...) I am very patient. I think it's important to make it fun and not forced. We can talk about anything you want, i am interested in many things so i can learn a lot from you! Don't hesitate to ask questions, non questions are stupid. My favorite quote is "Cogito ergo sum"from Descartes, it reminds you about that we don't know anything in life but life itself and that we should always be open to new information because we will keep learning until we breath our last breath. My next favorite quote connects to the last one and goes like this "the more you know the more you know you don't know" from Aristotle. Which basically means that you have to realize how much you don't know. I am a full time online teacher for 5+ years now. I have helped hundreds of people and given thousands of online classes. So the prices are based on experience and high demand. Next to that we have a realistic break up of what I actually get, first the website takes a share, then the Dollar to Euro exchange rate, less Euro for your Dollar and then taxes. Inflation is also hitting us all these days.

On the other hand, I also have experience helping graduated students to write their academic texts in English and Spanish. In addition, I have given reading comprehension courses to students in order to pass their reading exams in their universities (in English and Spanish) Currently I continue working as a teacher.

Italian & English Teacher · 30 Years of Experience · Pedagogy-Based Approach I'm Sarah. I've been teaching Italian and English for over 30 years, and I still enjoy every lesson. My background is in pedagogy, learning psychology and educational methodology. I don't just know the language: I know how people learn it, where they get stuck, and how to help them move forward. I work with adults and young learners at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students preparing for official exams, including CILS, CELI, PLIDA and Cambridge. I also work with people relocating to Italy or the UK, who need practical, real-world language fast. My lessons are structured and built around you: your level, your goals, your reason for learning. I believe mistakes are how you learn, and lessons tend to involve a fair amount of laughter too. Progress happens when you feel safe enough to try, to repeat, to ask the same question twice. I create that space. After 30 years I can read a student quickly. I know when to push and when to slow down. I use textbooks alongside my own materials: audio dialogues, songs, authentic texts for Italian; structured course books supplemented to target your specific gaps for English. Grammar gets explained when you need it, in plain terms. Each lesson has a clear focus. You'll always leave knowing what you worked on and why. Book a trial lesson. No pressure, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.

5 Years of Teaching Excellence: Linguist Committed to Helping Students Achieve Their Goals As a teacher, I'm excited to share my knowledge with students. I have a deep passion for studying and teaching languages, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to turn this passion into a career. Not only do I love the process of learning and sharing languages, but I also believe that it has the power to open doors to new cultures, perspectives, and understanding. When you study a language, you're not just learning a set of rules and vocabulary - you're gaining a window into the thoughts, customs, and ways of life of the people who speak it. This is what I find so fascinating about languages, and it's what drives me to continue exploring and sharing them with others.

My instincts for guiding foreigners in learning Mandarin are razor-sharp, after teaching dozens of classes and long-term private students, lots of beginners, many intermediate and advanced as well. Learning habits vary enormously from one person to another, so it’s important that the teacher become aware of each student’s strong and weak areas, offering instructions designed to keep the lessons and self-study *productive*. A good teacher knows how to balance the intense learning moments with lightness and fun – everyone knows that feeling, right? I enjoy setting students on the effective-learning track.

    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!

Naomi takes the time to understand her interests and incorporates them into the learning process, which makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable.

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.

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

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.
  • ⚡ 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.
