English you can actually use.

One-to-one online English lessons with a teacher who learned English as a second language and has taught students in Turkey, South Korea, and Vietnam.

Mistakes almost every learner makes. Tap a sentence to fix it.

  • I'm bored in this class. Boring describes the thing. Bored describes how you feel.

  • Can you explain this word to me? With explain, say what you're explaining first, then who it's for: explain something to someone.

  • I agree with you. Agree is a verb on its own. There's no am, is, or are in front of it.

A teacher who has been where you are

I learned English too

English is my second language, so I know which parts are confusing and why. I explain the reason behind each correction, not just the fix.

Taught around the world

I've taught in Turkey, South Korea, and Vietnam, from kindergarten classes to adult learners. Different students get stuck in different places, and I plan for that.

Lessons built around your goal

Exam prep, a presentation at work, school marks, or just speaking without freezing. We pick one goal and practice it every lesson.
