Online ESL / EFL tutor

ESL / EFL Tutoring, One-to-One and Online

Learn English as a second language one-to-one, at a pace and focus built entirely around you.

Verified tutors · One-to-one sessions · First lesson free · UK, US, UAE & AU time zones

Learning English in a group means moving at the group's speed and rarely getting to speak. One-to-one is the opposite: the whole session is yours, the tutor adapts to your level in real time, and you spend the time actually using English rather than watching others use it.

Whether you are a beginner building foundations, a professional needing English for work, or a student preparing to study abroad, sessions are shaped around your goals — conversation, grammar, writing or all three.

What your ESL / EFL tutor can help with

Choose one area or work across several — sessions adapt to whatever you need most right now.

Speaking & conversation

Real practice and confidence, with gentle correction as you go.

Grammar

The structures you need, taught in context rather than in isolation.

Vocabulary

Practical, relevant words for your goals — work, study or daily life.

Pronunciation

Clear, understandable speech and the sounds learners find hardest.

Writing

Emails, essays or everyday writing, with honest feedback.
