The best online English conversation tutors

I am a qualified TEFL English and Advanced Business English tutor. I also hold certificates in teaching Test Preparation for TOEIC and IELTS. I worked as a trainer in the UK care industry for 15 years, teaching students from all around the world the English skills needed to work in the NHS and private healthcare sectors.

I have been teaching for 4 years, I'm proud of the experience I have accumulated and I think working online is the next step in my career growth. I started my experience by working in summer school where I taught international teenagers, then went on to teach in a Spanish nursery school. The following year, I worked in Egypt teaching adults and then I worked in Japan for 2 years teaching children and adults. During my second year in Japan, I became senior teacher in a school that taught children. This experience really enhanced my teaching because I became a lot more creative with the kind of activities I do and I started using similar games and activities with my adult students.

I have been teaching English for 26 years and I have a Certificate in TEFLA (CELTA), an Advanced Certificate in TESOL and an MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL. I was the editor of a Teacher Education journal in Japan for eight years and I taught at universities there for 15 years. I have been teaching pre-sessional courses at the University of Glasgow since 2015 so I have a lot of experience in preparing students for the cultural and academic expectations in an English-speaking university setting. The goal of the pre-sessional courses is for the students to attain an IELTS-equivalent score of 6.5 or 7. In addition, I have been teaching scuba diving and first aid since 2002.

In our class, YOU will be doing most of the speaking! I provide delayed corrections as well as written feedback and explanations for you to keep and study. I am extremely patient and do my best to create a positive learning environment where we learn from our mistakes. We can discuss a variety of topics, news articles, or practice role-playing and interview scenarios.

With 10+ years of corporate editorial experience, I bring maturity, dedication, professionalism, and impeccable language skills to teaching.

I am very flexible and yet, disciplined. I am always focused on the student's needs and goals. I always design a plan during our first lesson to make sure that the student improves his or her English in the long run.

I am a TEFL qualified teacher who has experience within language school's teaching classes to children under 16 and private lessons with Adult learners. In my current full time job, I work in pension administration, but I also teach English online in my free time. I have taught English online part time for over a year on other platforms, but I am new to Italki. I have taught all ages and levels, but currently, I am focusing on teaching conversational English online to students 18 and above.

1. I have created my own teaching style and book which will allow you to talk about your day in 5/7 to 10 sessions. 2.

You can expect me to bring positive energy to the classroom. I will be a good listener in our class. During conversational lessons, I will ask you questions that make you think. For example, "What would you tell your 20-year-old self?" – maybe you will teach me something too:) If you are not interested in having high level conversations, I am not the right teacher for you. After our first class together, I will send you a Google doc with all of my favorite free English content from the net.

I am a registered school teacher and also have qualifications to teach English as a Foreign Language and Business English. Since I retired from classroom teaching, I have taught English to students in China, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. I would like to focus my online teaching on Conversational English.

I have many years of teaching experience,teaching different languages to people from different countries and different backgrounds. My lessons are customized for students. [For beginners], I usually start by improving my students' reading skill and then move to grammar lessons using grammar textbooks, pictures, flashcards etc..I assign homework. [For intermediate/advanced learners], the most focus here will be on your speaking skill and your ability to speak more in different topics (I will correct your grammar and pronunciation mistakes when it's needed).

I am a Cambridge University certified English tutor / lecturer, a linguist and a translator with 20 years of experience at different educational establishments (state and private schools, language courses and my students' private premises). I am a graduate from University of Foreign Languages and College of European Languages. Currently I study at Moscow State Pedagogical University to get qualification as a teacher of Russian as a FL. Являясь большим энтузиастом в преподавании и изучении языков, могу с гордостью сказать, что это моя страсть и призвание. Поэтому я приглашаю вас присоединиться к моей команде и насладится этим увлекательным путешествием в мир языков!

I’ve been learning how to speak a language in different ways (traditional- in school and natural-like a child) and the natural way is by far the most stimulating and motivating way. My classes will be mostly conversational and we will personalize every class to your abilities, needs and goals. I can help you with everything from grammar, preparation for Swedish exams, new vocabulary etc. Life is a constant learning process that never ends. Every day we are learning new things and improving as long as we stay curious and engaged.

I am a TEFL Certified English Teacher. I specialize in young children beginners. I keep my lessons fun and engaging for my students. I also do conversational lessons for adults. Confidence building, pronunciation perfection, vocabulary, fluency, and more. I teach phonics to young kids which helps them to correct pronunciation and confidence. My accent is British Neutral and I can teach American accent or British accent if you have a preference.

Teaching is a passion of mine and is something that I have been doing since I turned 18. I have taught in a variety of countries and different settings, however I have decided to make teaching online my focus due to the amazing flexibility it gives me. As a teacher my main aim above everything is to create a laidback atmosphere where you, the student can feel comfortable enough to express your true feelings, ask sincere questions and be able to take on my feedback openly. As a natural empath, I have no problem connecting with many people from all cultures and I often get told that I have an 'old soul'. Please dont hesitate to get in touch with me! I look forwards to speaking with you!

After using italki for my own language practice, I started helping other people to improve their English. I think you learn best when you're relaxed and having fun. In our first lesson we will probably talk about why you're learning English and what your goals are. It's important to me that we practise the English you want to be able to use, so I'll be guided by your interests, passions and needs. Beyond italki, I have given one-on-one French tuition, and have taught English and theatre skills to students of all ages.

I have successfully delivered courses of English as a foreign language in very challenging situations. I can teach students at all levels. My experience and background are a perfect fit for professionals, qualified workers, technicians, engineers, commercial and marketing experts, politicians, administrators, academics and managers who want to improve their English language skills.

I structure all my lessons effectively so the student can make real progress. As I'll probably always be a student of languages too, I have some good advice to give you from my own experience of learning. Все мои занятия хорошо структурированные чтобы студент мог достичь реального прогресса. Так как наверное сам я всегда буду учить языки, у меня уже накопилось много советов из собственного опыта, которыми я могу поделиться с Вами.

As a teacher I am understanding and supportive. I'm a caring person and have a good sense of humor. You won't have to worry about making mistakes when you practice conversation with me. If you make a mistake, I can either correct you in the moment, or correct your mistakes at the end of the class. It's your choice.

I really loved being an English teacher in Japan and continue to love teaching here on italki, helping people of all ages from all over the world become confident in the English language. I am dedicated to supporting my students on their language journey and adapting my lessons to their specific needs. I am a true believer in learning natural English rather than robotic English that is taught in textbooks alone. I understand that learning a new language can become boring and stressful, but I aim to make sure lessons are exciting, fun and enjoyable. I hope that my students look forward to their lessons with me.
