Finding a teacher

How to find an online English teacher (step by step)

Finding a good online English teacher is easier when you know what you want before you start searching. Here is a simple process that works for adults, students and parents.

1. Decide what you want to improve

Speaking confidence, pronunciation, grammar, an exam like IELTS or TOEIC, English for your job, or lessons for your child. One clear goal makes it much easier to pick the right teacher.

2. Search by your goal

On Find a teacher you can search by skill (for example conversation, IELTS or business) and filter by subject, nationality and the languages a teacher speaks.

3. Shortlist three teachers

Open several profiles. Read their teaching style, subjects and reviews from other students. Compare prices and packages, which each teacher shows in their own currency.

4. Send a short message

Tell each teacher your level, your goal and when you are free. You don't need an account to contact a teacher. A good teacher will reply with clear next steps.

5. Take a first lesson

If the teacher offers a trial, start there. Afterwards ask yourself: did I speak a lot, did I get useful corrections, and do I want to come back?

6. Book regularly

Progress comes from regular lessons. Agree a weekly time and book and pay the teacher directly.
