Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | NeuroBoost Method Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | 4.9★ (316 Reviews) | 3,000+ Lessons on italki Since 2013 I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and spent part of my childhood in New York — so both Spanish and English are truly native to me. After studying philosophy in Paris and English literature in London, I found my real calling: helping people learn languages in a way that feels natural instead of stressful. Over the past three decades I developed NeuroBoost, a method combining Sophrology (which I studied directly under its founder, Dr. Alfonso Caycedo, in Bogotá), Suggestopedia, and Superlearning. In practice, this means lessons built around relaxation and visualization techniques that help you absorb vocabulary and speak with less mental blocking. Many students tell me it's the calmest, most enjoyable language learning they've experienced — while still making real progress. I've taught on italki since 2013, with over 3,000 lesson hours, a 4.9-star rating across 316 reviews, and 100% attendance and response rates. My students come from more than 30 countries, from complete beginners to those refining fluency for work, travel, or exams. I bring real teaching structure and a distinctive method built on relaxation and deep engagement with language and culture — not one instead of the other. Try a 45-minute NeuroBoost trial lesson and feel the difference for yourself. 🚀

IELTS Speaking & Writing Specialist | 20+ Years Experience | Band Score Results Hi, I'm Tom, a British IELTS Speaking and Writing specialist with over 20 years of teaching experience. I work primarily with students who are serious about hitting a specific band score, whether that's for university entry, immigration, or professional certification. Most students don't fail IELTS because their English is bad. They fail because no one's shown them exactly what examiners are scoring for, and how to fix the specific habits holding their band score back. That's where I come in. My lessons focus on: Speaking fluency, pronunciation, and accent reduction for natural, confident delivery Writing structure and language that examiners reward (Task 1 and Task 2) Targeted feedback on your actual weaknesses, not generic grammar drills A clear, personalised study plan based on where you are and where you need to be I've helped students improve full-band scores in weeks, not months, by focusing on what actually moves the needle. Book your trial lesson today, and I'll give you a personalised study plan based on your current level and target score.

Pharmacist & Science Teacher | TESOL Certified | Medical & Scientific English Specialist My name is Melissa and I am a TESOL certified English teacher from Southern California with a 5-star rating and over 1000 lessons on italki. What sets me apart: I hold a doctorate in pharmacy, an undergraduate degree in biology, and a science teaching credential. I spent years as a clinical pharmacist and have been teaching chemistry for nine years. This gives me a highly specialized vocabulary in science and medicine that most English teachers simply don't have. I work with science and medical professionals looking to improve their professional English, and with intermediate to advanced learners who want to build fluency and real command of the language. I also host a podcast that teaches English in context to non-native speakers. My classroom is always a comfortable, judgment-free space. I'm patient and friendly, and I give feedback in a constructive way so you never feel afraid to make mistakes. Lessons are flexible and always student-centered. We build fluency through conversation and reading articles aloud — which improves pronunciation while exposing you to new vocabulary and grammar structures. We can also prepare for presentations, review your written work, or practice for job or school interviews. I am a native speaker with a neutral American accent. Let's get to work!

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.

I have taught formally in academies in Spain, on a pre-sessional course at a UK university, in Austrian schools, and here online. Successful learning requires curiosity, listening and perseverance, both from the teacher and the student. As a teacher, I aim to provide exactly this (as well as encouragement, corrections/feedback and knowledge). Learning should be enjoyable, but it is not always easy. As your teacher, I hope to make improving your English as smooth and enjoyable as possible and to help you achieve your objectives, whatever they may be.

CELTA and DELTA qualified IELTS teacher, Former Cambridge Speaking examiner, Russian ТРКИ examiner Hello! I’m Yuri, an English and Russian teacher from St. Petersburg with 10+ years of experience, a Linguistics degree from St. Petersburg State University, CELTA and Cambridge DELTA qualifications. I specialise in IELTS and Academic English, teach TOEFL, and prepare students for TORFL (ТРКИ) as a certified examiner.

My lessons are practical and personalised. We focus on what is actually holding you back: fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, writing, exam strategy, or confidence. You won’t spend the lesson doing endless textbook exercises or listening to long lectures. You will speak, practise, get clear feedback, and leave knowing exactly what to improve next. I’ve helped hundreds of students achieve IELTS 7.0–8.5, and I have achieved IELTS Band 9.0 myself, including 9.0 in Writing and Speaking. I work with learners from beginner to advanced level. You don’t need to be “ready” or speak perfectly before booking a lesson. Come as you are, tell me your goal, and we’ll build a realistic plan to reach it.

Certified teacher with over 12 years of teaching experience Hello! My name is Elaheh Rezvani. I have had the privilege of living in various parts of the world, including England, Turkey, and Australia. I hold a Master's degree in English Literature, a field with which I genuinely connect. I have been teaching English since 2013, and it's remarkable how quickly time has passed! In addition to my passion for English, I am also an avid photographer. I have been practicing photography for nearly eight years, and I believe that literature and photography are intertwined in many ways.

I tailor my teaching materials to their individual skill levels, incorporating a variety of resources such as videos, podcasts, music, films, and flashcards. Unlike some teachers, I do not rely solely on a set text. I also don't believe in administering quizzes, as I feel that progress can be demonstrated through the natural learning process, which has its ups and downs. You can find me on social media as ela_the_coach.
