Finding English classes in Mainz that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online English classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face English lessons in Mainz. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational English classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Mainz time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.
If you have questions, you can click the 'Help' button in the bottom right. There, you’ll find answers to every question imaginable, and the option of contacting our support team.

Hey!
Thank you for checking out my profile. :)
My name is Edit and I am living in Japan. I attended an English-Hungarian Bilingual Secondary Grammar School, where I developed my love for the English language. I have always been interested in Eastern languages and cultures as well, so I decided to specialize in Japanese language and culture at university. After graduating, I moved to Japan, where I have been working as an English teacher for more than 2 years now. I have an IELTS certificate and I also completed a TEFL teaching course.
I focus on creating a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming atmosphere during my lessons. I encourage my students to make mistakes because that's the only way to master a language. I always personalize the lesson material and adjust it to the student's personal goal and level. I love teaching this beautiful language, and my goal is to motivate my students to reach their language goals. 😊

Hello from Los Angeles! My name is Sean and I am both a TEFL-certified English teacher, and a Lean Six Sigma-certified project manager with a business background in IT, analytics, and recruiting. I'm also a language learner just like you (Spanish B2 and German B1), so I know the joys and challenges of learning and improving a second language very well. With 3 years of experience teaching English in a private 1-to-1 setting, as well as a lifetime of working with and interacting with non-native English speakers of every level, I'm excited to share my passion for the English language and help you accomplish your goals on your path toward fluency!
I offer three types of lessons:
(1) Conversational Classes. To help you become more confident while speaking, correct your grammar, and learn natural phrases & expressions from a California-born native speaker.
(2) Business English Classes. With my background in project management, IT/analytics, and recruiting, I can help you develop your business vocabulary, presentation skills, and self-confidence -- to advance your career or prepare for a job interview.
(3) Test Prep. To coach you on test-taking strategies for the IETLS, TOEFL, and more -- with an emphasis on improving your speaking and writing.
All my lessons are customized to each student's needs, and I adapt and update them as required -- with extra resources and homework upon request. Book a trial lesson with me today to see if I am the right fit to help guide you on your English-speaking journey.
p.s. A little more about me: In my spare time, you'll find me reading and watching TV series, playing video games, or practicing guitar. I also travel frequently and love learning about new cultures... tell me something about yours!

CELTA qualified and IELTS Teacher certified. Teaching since 2013 and exclusively online since 2020.
I have extensive experience in coaching and business, having run my own sports coaching business for 20 years. I teach conversational English on a thematic basis (topic-related) with an emphasis on correct grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. I also teach Business English (job interviews, negotiation, presentations, time management, meetings etc). I prepare students for IELTS and TOEFL exams. In every lesson, you will be encouraged to feel comfortable speaking English, whatever your level. If you really want to improve your English, or learn more about the British way of life and culture, you have come to the right place.
All my lessons are specifically tailored to the individual student's needs and interests, and we work at your pace. Most language learners are working at different levels in the four pillars of reading, writing, listening and speaking, which is why private one-to-one lessons with a patient and sympathetic teacher are so valuable. You will see an improvement in a very short time once you commit to a structured programme of learning. Homework is optional, but recommended.
I live in the South West of England, and I have a standard British accent. I speak Spanish reasonably well and a little French. I have spent 15 years learning Spanish so I know what it is like to lack confidence and to feel that you can't remember anything under pressure. But I also know what a joy it is to be able to communicate effectively. It is also why I love teaching because I meet people from all over the world and I learn so much about other cultures and countries.
In my spare time, I enjoy walking, reading, cooking and riding my motorbike!
Please note that once a trial lesson is booked, I will contact you to discuss your expectations. If there is no response, it is likely that the trial lesson will be cancelled.
I hope to meet you in the classroom soon :)

*Please note that I don't offer IELTS feedback in the free 30-minute trial class. If you're interested in IELTS exam preparation, it would be done in paid classes after the trial class. The trial class is for us to discuss future classes.
With my background as an examiner for IELTS and Cambridge Assessment (CAE, FCE, PET, KET) for over 8 years, I can accurately assess your level and provide you with targeted tasks. I understand the specific challenges that B1-C2 level learners face, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Florida Atlantic University. In addition, I have logged over 7000 hours of tutoring online over the last 4 years.
In my classes, I prioritize flexibility and strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment. I believe in infusing energy, humor, and my personality to make the learning process enjoyable and effective.
I understand that each student has a unique learning style and preferences. Therefore, my teaching methodology is adaptable to suit your needs. Whether you prefer learning through practical examples or interactive activities, I will tailor my approach accordingly.
I pride myself on being patient and understanding with different student types. If you need time to gather your thoughts or express yourself, that's fine. I will encourage you to think and provide a comfortable space for you to learn at your own pace.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in teaching international exam preparation (IELTS and Cambridge Assessment), academic English, and business English, and have offered a variety of English coaching courses to students from diverse backgrounds. I have also developed curriculum programs, tests, and teaching materials suitable for B1-C2 level learners.
By booking classes with me, you can be confident that each session is backed by a thorough preparation process, tailored specifically to address your strengths and areas for improvement.
Let's work together to enhance your English skills and achieve your goals!
See Reviews From StudentsMany students initially have reservations about participating in online English classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online English class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
Whilst not always the case, English classes in Mainz are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Mainz and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
LanguaTalk offers personalized 1-on-1 English lessons with top-rated tutors. Here's how to get started:
1 - Find a tutor that meets your needs by reviewing their videos, reviews, pricing, and availability.
2 - Book a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a free 30-minute trial, while others offer a discounted trial price.
3 - Have personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or try a different tutor if desired.
You don't need to provide credit card information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you're seriously considering taking lessons. Tutor prices vary, and you can use the filter to find one that fits your budget. You can pay for individual lessons or purchase a package for a discount (view a tutor's pricing options on their profile).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning on LanguaTalk. Our platform is trusted by students worldwide because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on tutor profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications, unlike other platforms.
To access our full list of FAQs or get assistance from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students sharing their experiences learning on LanguaTalk below.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutor offer these for free. If a tutor does not offer a free trial, the trial price will be 30 percent of their full lesson price, allowing you to still try a session at a reduced cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to determine if the tutor is a good fit for you and get a sense of what online learning is like. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so that they can tailor any lessons you choose to take. You'll be encouraged to speak as much as possible in English, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this option is available, it will be noted on the tutor's profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, 55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. 30-minute lessons may be suitable if you're taking lessons for your child or if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
One of the benefits of online lessons is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, simply check their calendar to ensure that they have times that fit your schedule. Some tutor may have limited availability due to high demand.
Lessons are taught one-on-one to ensure that you receive customized instruction. During the lessons, your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including language exercises, conversation practice, and cultural notes, to help you reach your learning objectives.
All lessons take place via video call. Your tutor will normally give you a choice of calling tools, all of which are easy to use.
