Learn English online

English lessons here are conversation-heavy, because most learners already know more grammar than they can use in real time. Teachers push you to speak from the first minute, correct the errors that actually block understanding, and build the vocabulary of your own life — your job, your studies, the emails you have to write. Exam-focused work is available for IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge and Business English, with past papers, timed speaking practice and written feedback. Pronunciation gets specific attention: the sounds your first language does not have, sentence stress, and the linking that makes fluent English hard to hear at speed.

What you'll learn

Speaking fluency: thinking in English rather than translating
Pronunciation of problem sounds, word stress and natural linking
Grammar you actually use — tenses, articles, conditionals and modals in context
Vocabulary for your field: work, study, travel or academic writing
Listening to natural speed English, including accents and contractions
Writing emails, reports, essays or cover letters with corrections
Exam strategy for IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge or Business English certificates

How lessons work here

Find a teacher. Browse profiles with headline, country, spoken languages, experience, credentials and student reviews. Every public profile has been verified before it goes live.
Book a slot. Teachers publish real availability, including exceptions and holidays. You pick a time and the booking is confirmed against that calendar, so double-bookings are blocked at database level.
Join the lesson room. Lessons run in the browser with live video and audio — nothing to install. Screen sharing and shared tools sit alongside the video.
Use the tools built for this subject. The lesson room includes a shared document you both edit in real time; flashcard decks with spaced repetition, importable from CSV or JSON; a whiteboard for grammar explanations and sentence diagrams; quizzes that are graded on the server, so results cannot be edited; file and link sharing for texts, audio and homework.
Get homework and keep the thread. Teachers set tasks with attachments and deadlines, comment on what you submit, and keep a shared learning plan you can both see between lessons.
Track progress. Attendance and a simple lesson rating are recorded by the teacher, quizzes are graded on the server, and a progress report can be generated for you — or for a parent or guardian.

Who it's for

Learners at any level from A1 beginner to C1 advanced
Professionals who need English for meetings, interviews or relocation
Students preparing an English proficiency exam with a deadline

Lessons run from A1 absolute beginner through to C1/C2 advanced, following the CEFR levels. Teachers place you in the first session and revisit the level as you progress.

Levels and lesson formats

One-to-one lessons — the standard format, usually 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Recurring weekly slots — booked from the teacher's live availability calendar.
Group workshops — teachers can run scheduled workshops with limited places and a waiting list.
Trial or one-off sessions — useful for a single problem, an exam panic or checking the fit before committing.

Lesson length, cancellation notice and any price are set by each teacher and shown on their profile before you book. Teachers can also share materials, quizzes and certificates of completion with public verification.

Frequently asked questions

Will my teacher speak my language?

Many teachers do, and their profile lists which languages they speak. Some students prefer an English-only lesson from day one — both approaches work.

Can you prepare me for IELTS or TOEFL?

Yes, with teachers who list exam preparation. That means timed speaking parts, writing tasks marked against the band descriptors and reading and listening strategy.

How do I stop translating in my head?

By speaking more than you plan. Teachers use question drills, retelling and role play to shorten the gap between thought and speech.

How often should I have lessons?

Twice a week produces noticeably faster fluency gains than once, but consistency beats intensity. Short daily self-study between lessons matters most.

Do you correct every mistake?

No. Teachers prioritise errors that block understanding or that you repeat, and note the rest for a correction round at the end so the conversation keeps flowing.
