Great For
Professionals working in English-speaking environments, candidates preparing for IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge examinations, and anyone who reads and writes English well but freezes when speaking.
Professional Teacher or Community Tutor?
English has more free study material than any other language, which is precisely why paid tuition needs to earn its place. What it buys is not information but a person who responds, corrects and pushes.
Professional teachers are the right choice for examination preparation, where technique matters as much as ability — IELTS Speaking in particular rewards familiarity with its three-part structure.
Community tutors are the better value for pure speaking practice, and for most intermediate learners that is the actual bottleneck. Comprehension usually runs well ahead of production, and closing that gap takes volume rather than instruction.
Business English
Meetings, presentations, negotiation and written correspondence each have their own register. A tutor who specialises in business English can work on your actual materials — a deck you are presenting next week, an email thread you are unsure about — which is more useful than generic practice.
Which Accent?
British, American, Australian and other varieties differ in pronunciation and some vocabulary. For most purposes it does not matter, but if you are preparing for a specific examination or workplace, matching your tutor is worth doing. Tutors state their background on their profiles.
How Booking Works
Lessons are pay-as-you-go with no subscription and no minimum commitment. Sessions run from 30 to 90 minutes, and Instant Lessons let you book with an available tutor immediately. Most tutors offer a discounted trial lesson.
Pricing
Tutors set their own rates, so there is no fixed price — community tutors are generally considerably cheaper than professional teachers. Figures shown here are indicative only and correct at the time of listing. Lessons are booked and paid directly with the provider.
