    Chris is an excellent teacher. I'll take IELTS soon and his speaking lessons have helped me to get the fluency and coherence that I noticed I did't have on my first attempt of the test. What I like the most about the lessons is that during the class he is encouraging you to practice the learned structures, vocabulary and strategies, useful by the way. He also created a personalized plan for me, according to those aspects that I needed to improve the most. There isn't a class for which he doesn't send you a detailed feedback with some identified small/important mistakes made and how you can fix it. Finally, but not less important, Chris is an experienced teacher and examiner for sure, respectful and friendly.

  • ALMOG ELIASI

    Learning English

    When I first met my teacher, I could barely speak English, had almost no confidence, and wasn’t at the level I needed to apply to university. Today, after more than 70 lessons and a lot of practice, I finally applied for a degree at the International School, and a huge part of that journey is thanks to her. It starts with the lessons, the patience, the confidence she gives you, and the fact that the learning plan is adjusted to your goals. She is the most professional teacher I have ever had, with challenging, interesting lessons that have improved my English dramatically. But what makes her special is the feeling that she genuinely wants you to succeed, believes in you, and pushes you to become the best version of yourself. The support, materials, and effort continue even after the lesson ends. I would recommend her to anyone who truly wants to improve their English, gain confidence, and learn with a teacher who really cares. Book a lesson as soon as possible, you won’t regret it.

    I want to share my wonderful learning experience with Kylan. First of all, Kylan is extremely experienced in IELTS preparation. He can quickly pinpoint my weak areas and provides practical techniques and effective strategies to help me improve. Second, what I appreciate most is his inclusive and encouraging teaching style. Like many Chinese students, I used to be a typical "silent English" learner. With Kylan's patient guidance and encouragement, creating a safe space where mistakes are just part of the process. Third, Kylan is genuinely dedicated and responsible. He assigns targeted practice after every class and always gives timely, detailed feedback with clear points for improvement. Last but not least, his charismatic, humorous and easygoing, which makes for a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere. If you're looking for a teacher who combines real expertise with a genuinely fun learning experience, I highly recommend Kylan. Learning English with him is truly enjoyable!

What I appreciate most is her structured approach: she created a tailored plan to help me achieve both my fluency and examination goals. She consistently provides highly useful materials and practical tips, which is crucial for me as an exam candidate. Cynthia is always well-prepared, incredibly patient, and encouraging. She manages to strike the perfect balance in her lessons – the atmosphere is light and comfortable, yet productive and serious. During our speaking practice, she provides valuable feedback and corrections without ever interrupting my flow. I am incredibly glad to have found Cynthia. Thank you for your dedication and care!

    We’ve been working on IELTS Speaking for about 2–3 months and it’s been so helpful. My teacher gently explains my mistakes in detail and provides written feedback on how to improve. This makes me feel completely comfortable speaking. Compared to day one, my confidence and speaking have improved immensely. So glad I started these lessons! I highly recommend them. Thank you so much for everything. Yaklaşık 2-3 aydır IELTS Speaking çalışıyoruz ve bana katkısı harika oldu. Hatalarımı nazikçe detaylandırıp nasıl geliştireceğimi yazılı olarak da gösteriyor. Bu sayede rahatça konuşabiliyorum. İlk günüme göre konuşmam çok gelişti. İyi ki başlamışım, kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

    I've really enjoyed working with Ellie. I first started taking lessons with her to prepare for an important presentation in English, and she helped me gain much more confidence than I expected. She is always well prepared, encouraging, and genuinely interested in the topics we discuss. I especially appreciate that she creates a relaxed atmosphere where speaking English feels natural and mistakes are simply part of the learning process. Her feedback is clear, practical, and always helpful, and her pronunciation coaching has made a real difference for me. If you're looking for an encouraging and effective English coach, I can definitely recommend Ellie.

    The best teacher ! The teacher’s teaching methods and procedures are well‑structured. She offers detailed practice approaches covering pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence‑building. She also assigns weekly homework to reinforce what we have learned. Talking with her is really pleasant. She is energetic throughout the whole lesson and gives me plenty of time to express myself. This is by far the lesson where I have spoken the most! I absolutely love it!

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.

  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.
