Speak English with Confidence | For Professionals, Interviews & Real-Life Communication You understand English, but when it is time to speak, you hesitate or lose confidence. That is exactly what we fix together. I am John, a Canadian professional with 20 years of experience leading teams across Canada and Europe in healthcare, technology, and international business. I hold a BSc in Business Informatics along with PMP, PRINCE2, and ITIL certifications. I have coached everyone from complete beginners to senior executives and I genuinely enjoy watching people grow into confident speakers. My approach is simple. We speak. A lot. Lessons are built around real situations you actually face, job interviews, workplace conversations, presentations, meetings, and everyday communication. I correct you naturally in the flow of conversation without interrupting your confidence, because the fastest way to improve is not memorizing rules. It is speaking regularly with honest guidance in real time. What we can work on together: -Conversational English for all levels -Business English and workplace communication -Interview preparation and career coaching -English for technology and digital professionals -Project management fundamentals -Beginners through to advanced fluency Outside of teaching I am into travel, hiking, tech, and sports. I enjoy working with people from all kinds of backgrounds and helping them stop translating in their heads and start speaking English naturally. If you are ready to get started, book a trial lesson and let us have a real conversation.

Business English for Professionals | Structured Coaching for Meetings & Workplace Fluency Do you finish meetings feeling you had more to say, but couldn't find the words in English? I can help. These are not general English lessons. I teach English for real work situations: meetings, quick discussions, progress updates and difficult conversations. I am from Cambridge, UK. I have 15 years of experience in IT and business. Since 2014, I have helped professionals in Europe and Asia speak more clearly and feel more confident at work. Every student starts with a free Gap Analysis — a short test that shows me your grammar, the way you speak, and the areas you need to improve. In our first lesson, we look at the results together and make a plan for your goals. Lessons focus on speaking. You watch short videos at home, practise speaking in class, and get feedback straight away. I help you find better words, fix your sentences, and sound more natural and professional. Many students notice a difference after the first three lessons. One important skill we practise is giving clear, short summaries: the main point, why it is important, and what should happen next. This helps you sound more confident with managers, clients and international colleagues. Book a trial lesson. We start with your Gap Analysis, so the first lesson is already about your goals.

Natural teacher with 20 years of philosophical studies & 12 years teaching experience I believe in repetition and consistency. I look at where you are as an individual and work from there... Before every lesson my main goal is always to guide my students into a receptive state of mind for rapid learning. This means that I'm willing to address any distractions you may have or boost confidence (if necessary) in a non-intrusive way. Most importantly I keep interactions fun and engaging, my goal is that you walk away hungrier and more confident than when you came. In essence I am both a motivational speaker and a teacher. The mind is not a line, it's a four-dimensional web that slowly grows from the center. At a critical turning point, learning becomes exponential and parabolic.

My goal is simple: to help you speak the kind of Norwegian that earns you respect at work. I believe in direct, honest feedback—just like you get on the job site. If you sound too stiff or like a "textbook robot," I will tell you. We skip the grammar drills and focus on communication that gets the job done.

Good pronunciation and accent, encouraging, fun and interesting, with 20 years experience. I have twenty years experience teaching English. I have taught private one-on-one classes, in academies and online. I have a “Received Pronunciation” accent, which many people think of as an English accent, but it is like a correct, standard form of speaking, which can help in listening. Something that I love about teaching on italki is having had the opportunity to meet students from all parts of the world. I respect, and I am interested in, different cultures, religions, races and politics. I believe learning languages can help us understand others, which is so important in this world today. I am very supportive and encouraging. I believe mistakes are not bad – they can help us learn.

Patient, friendly and detail-oriented Cambridge-certified teacher Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a qualified English teacher (Cambridge CELTA) experienced in online teaching at all levels. I speak fluent French and Portuguese, as well as some Polish and Spanish. I provide enjoyable, learner-centred lessons tailored specifically to you; my attention to detail and linguistic expertise enable me to focus on specific areas for improvement and to help you reach your goals. I know it takes courage to speak another language, and so my priority is to create an empathetic environment where you feel safe to speak without judgment or too much pressure. I am flexible and happy to adapt to your needs, but every lesson will be planned for you, so there is no need to worry we'll have nothing to talk about. I will gently correct and help you express yourself more naturally, while encouraging you to play an active role in identifying and fixing your own mistakes. I believe it is important to use as much English as possible, even for beginners, but if I speak your language, I will use it to help you as needed. Every lesson will be planned for you depending on your goals, your interests and what you need to improve, with materials specially selected to help you push yourself and learn something every time. Please note: I do not teach children.

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.

How do italki's online English classes work?

italki’s online English classes are simple, flexible, and personalized:

  1. 📝 Browse tutors – After creating an account, browse through qualified English tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  2. 🎯 Choose your tutor – Filter by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type to find a tutor that fits your goals and schedule. Many offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  3. 💻 Book and attend lessons – Once you book a lesson, you’ll meet your online English tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss your objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  4. ⏱️ Learn at your pace – Classes are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like. Between lessons, tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress learning English online.

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.

Where can I get an English tutor near me?

You can get an English tutor near you by using italki’s location filter to browse tutors from your country or region.

You can also explore English tutors in major cities like:

All lessons take place online through italki Classroom, providing personalized and convenient English tutoring wherever you are.
