Hi! I’m Nikki. I teach English and Filipino here on Italki. I speak a little bit of Japanese as well. I'm curious about all kinds of things, especially psychology, history, languages, and world cultures. I also enjoy reading, watching anime, and playing video games. I've been teaching for six years, and I like to plan my lessons around what my students want to learn. Lesson Types: 1. Kids, Teens, & Exam Prep (Structured) I love teaching younger learners! I use materials like Power Up (Cambridge Primary) for kids and the Oxford Achieve series for teenagers, alongside educational websites, to keep lessons fun and effective. For IELTS Speaking and Cambridge English exams, I provide targeted coaching focused on exam strategies and mock practice. We’ll work directly on the skills you need to get familiar with the format and reach your target score. 2. General English & Conversation (Flexible) For students building fluency, our lessons are organic but progressive. We start with familiar interests and move into a wide range of topics to help you build vocabulary and express your thoughts clearly in any situation. To help you improve, I’ll point out mistakes, suggest more natural expressions, and help you sound more fluent in conversation. My approach adapts to your goals. Whether you’re moving abroad, preparing for an exam or an interview, or just improving your English, we’ll build the skills and confidence you need to move forward! Let’s work together and make it happen!

The Blueprint I used to learn 7 languages and adapt across 9 countries. French native living in Mendoza. I jumped from country to country all my life—from the UK and Brazil to India and Germany—learning 7 languages along the way through real-world integration, not classrooms. This allowed me to build a distinct framework: viewing languages as a dynamic architecture. A sum of small, practical bricks you lay down smoothly to build a bridge into a new culture. The main issue when you try to use a new language in professional or relocation environments isn't your vocabulary. It's the friction. You memorize the textbook, but when you enter a real conversation, the cultural nuances and local subtext don't flow. Your brain blocks because the input feels disconnected from reality. Eight years of coaching taught me one thing: we need to make the process completely frictionless. We skip the academic drills. We use your existing languages as a safety net to break down the exact conversational structures and social reflexes you need to blend in, adapt, and speak real French, daily. Ready to build?

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

    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.

    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!

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.

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.
