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

Teaching English accurately and fluently for 18 years Hello! My name is Naomi. I hold a bachelor's degree in literature and have been teaching English to different nationalities since 2007. I'm also TEFL/TESOL certified. Since my students’ English levels vary, I make sure that my lessons cater to their proficiency. I can teach grammar, vocabulary, news article reading and discussion, IELTS speaking and writing, pronunciation, and punctuation. If you’re aiming to practice speaking, I’m also capable of holding conversations about a variety of topics. Moreover, I believe repetition and reviews are essential to ensure my students’ comprehension and help keep track of their progress, so they can expect effective learning. Likewise, I expect my students to express and never doubt themselves. Last, I always encourage them to ask for clarification, and I give them suggestions for improvement. Learning English or any other language isn't a walk in the park, so I'm rooting for you. If you'd like your journey to English fluency to start right now, I'm available for a trial lesson. Hope to see you soon!

AMERICAN Writing Tutor: CELTA Certified, Published in major US publications. Hello there! If you want to write like a native-English speaker, take my writing classes. I'm seeking self-motivated students - intermediate, advanced or proficient - who realize that writing English well is just as important as speaking English well. I've been writing for top American publications for years: Cosmopolitan, The Washington Post and The Boston Globe, among many others. So, when you have me as your teacher, you'll know that you're being taught by a real writer who makes a living from her writing in addition to teaching on italki. This is not a course on creative writing in English. The writing we practice here is for your English-speaking life. I'll help you write effective emails to employers, friends, teachers, among others. You'll also learn to write essays for English tests, such as the IELTS, TOEFL - and resumes and applications for jobs or school. By the way, I never use textbooks during lessons except when requested. Instead, I use "authentic material" like articles from newspapers and magazines, YouTube videos, photography and even objects you use in everyday life. So, please, get in touch! I look forward to writing with you soon.

    앤 선생님은 학생이 편하게 대화할 수 있게 분위기를 만들어주시고, 개선점이나 새로운 내용을 전달할 때는 아주 명확하고 깔끔하게 내용을 설명해주셔서 이해하기 쉬워요. 수업이 끝나면 피드백 내용을 파일로 만들어서 따로 전달해주시는데, 그동안 무의식적으로 하던 습관들을 개선시키는 방안이나 구조적으로 깔끔한 영어를 말할 수 있는 표현들도 많이 알려주셔서 복습하고 혼자 연습하는데 도움이 돼요. 경험이 많으셔서 제가 고민을 말하면 교육적으로 검증된 명확한 해답도 안내해주십니다. 수업이 끝나고 나면 알찬 수업이었다는 생각이 들어요! 좋은 스피킹 선생님을 찾으신다면 추천합니다:)

    I had a wonderful experience learning with this teacher. I was quite nervous about my IELTS exam, but he guided and motivated me throughout the lesson. He carefully evaluated my performance and shared valuable tips that helped me improve and achieve my desired result. He speaks very clearly, explains everything in an easy-to-understand way, and is extremely supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for IELTS. Truly one of the best teachers!

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

    Really enjoyed this trial lesson. Amirreza has a gift for asking follow-up questions that push you to speak in full paragraphs rather than just short answers. My field (engineering/construction/IT) is quite specialized, and he handled it really well — he searched things in real time, asked smart questions, and suggested bringing materials for next time. He's not the type to just chat; he wants to understand your actual work and build lessons around it. Very patient, encouraging, and genuinely interested.

    My son is very excited to have lessons with Teacher Jazz, as she always prepares fun activities and customized games. Lessons are highly engaging and creative. Games are full of cartoon characters my son likes and this makes lessons more attracitive to him. In today's lesson, he was very excited to see one of his favourite characters - Luigi Ghost Busters during the exercises. Teacher Jazz is friendly, nice and patient, mildly encouraging him to speak English. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

    Aysha has been teaching my two children, particularly my daughter Michalina, for the past three years, and I couldn't be happier with her dedication and professionalism. She is an exceptional teacher – patient, warm-hearted, empathetic, and genuinely committed to her students' progress and success. One of her greatest achievements was successfully preparing my daughter for the national English exam at the end of primary school, where Michalina achieved an outstanding 98% score! This result speaks volumes about Aysha's teaching skills and ability to motivate and support her students. What I appreciate most, however, is the wonderful relationship she has built with my children. They both genuinely enjoy their lessons with her, which, as a parent, means just as much to me as their academic achievements. After three years of working together, I can wholeheartedly recommend Aysha to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly caring English teacher. Thank you, Aysha!
