The best online English conversation tutors

Experienced Native English Teacher | Friendly, Engaging Lessons Hello! My name is Tom, and I’m an American English teacher with approximately five years of combined in-person and online teaching experience, primarily in Thailand. I help intermediate English learners speak more naturally, build their vocabulary, and feel more confident communicating in English. **My background:** * Bachelor of Science in Psychology * TESOL certification * Experience teaching in universities, language institutes, government organizations, and through private tutoring * Experience teaching both children and adults **What I can help you with:** * Conversational English and fluency * Pronunciation and natural-sounding English * Expanding your vocabulary * Building confidence when speaking * Developing practical, real-world communication skills I particularly enjoy working with intermediate learners who want to move beyond simply knowing English and become more comfortable actually using it. My background in psychology has also taught me that every learner is different, so I tailor my lessons to your needs, interests, and goals. My lessons are practical, relaxed, and supportive, with plenty of opportunities for you to speak. I’m always happy to use your interests as a starting point for conversation and to make lessons relevant to your everyday life. Outside of teaching, I enjoy music, cinema, yoga, and, like many people, trying to keep my Wordle streak alive! I look forward to helping you reach your English goals.

🧑‍🎓 Highly experienced teacher specializing in building confident communicative fluency I am passionate about my career as an English teacher and enjoy nothing more than seeing my students improve their ability in English and build their confidence. I have 100% success in all exams and courses I have taught. I never let a student fail. I take great pride in my lessons and always seek ways to develop my skills and abilities as a teacher. I am Cambridge CELTA qualified and have led teacher training courses. Teaching drama and producing theatre with Business English majors at a university in Thailand was the most rewarding period of my career. My experience and skills are wide-ranging, just take a look at my resume.

I am back NY, I will do a course here but I will still work 40 hours around this course :) The video contains the following subjects: 00:00-01:05 Speaking English and Dutch, 01;05-03:20 The problems of learning Dutch you may encounter, 03:20-06:02 The languages i can speak at various levels. (*side note about the one negative comment. That day I needed to go to the hospital, it was a trial lesson with this student and he jumped straight to conlusions about me cancelling that lesson...) I am very patient. I think it's important to make it fun and not forced. We can talk about anything you want, i am interested in many things so i can learn a lot from you! Don't hesitate to ask questions, non questions are stupid. My favorite quote is "Cogito ergo sum"from Descartes, it reminds you about that we don't know anything in life but life itself and that we should always be open to new information because we will keep learning until we breath our last breath. My next favorite quote connects to the last one and goes like this "the more you know the more you know you don't know" from Aristotle. Which basically means that you have to realize how much you don't know. I am a full time online teacher for 5+ years now. I have helped hundreds of people and given thousands of online classes. So the prices are based on experience and high demand. Next to that we have a realistic break up of what I actually get, first the website takes a share, then the Dollar to Euro exchange rate, less Euro for your Dollar and then taxes. Inflation is also hitting us all these days.

Italian & English Teacher · 30 Years of Experience · Pedagogy-Based Approach I'm Sarah. I've been teaching Italian and English for over 30 years, and I still enjoy every lesson. My background is in pedagogy, learning psychology and educational methodology. I don't just know the language: I know how people learn it, where they get stuck, and how to help them move forward. I work with adults and young learners at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students preparing for official exams, including CILS, CELI, PLIDA and Cambridge. I also work with people relocating to Italy or the UK, who need practical, real-world language fast. My lessons are structured and built around you: your level, your goals, your reason for learning. I believe mistakes are how you learn, and lessons tend to involve a fair amount of laughter too. Progress happens when you feel safe enough to try, to repeat, to ask the same question twice. I create that space. After 30 years I can read a student quickly. I know when to push and when to slow down. I use textbooks alongside my own materials: audio dialogues, songs, authentic texts for Italian; structured course books supplemented to target your specific gaps for English. Grammar gets explained when you need it, in plain terms. Each lesson has a clear focus. You'll always leave knowing what you worked on and why. Book a trial lesson. No pressure, just a conversation to see if we're a good fit.

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.
