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.

Hello, I'm teacher Kelly and I'm a native English speaker from the UK.
I completed my TEFL in Asia and have over 6 years teaching experience with kids and adults from a combination of working in schools and online. My students tell me I have a clear and neutral accent that is easy to understand. They often comment on my relaxed and fun energy in my lessons.
When working with children I create vibrant and interactive lessons that include phonics, writing & reading. After each class a worksheet or activity can be given. When working with adults I also like to create fun lessons. Learning grammar is stressful and I like to focus more on conversation and simplified explanations. We learn about phrasal verbs, idioms and lots of other things a new learner should need to be able to understand and speak like a native.
As a teacher I believe it is important to make the students feel comfortable and give them a safe space to learn and not to be afraid to make mistakes. Learning a new language is not easy it takes time and dedication, I understand this and try to build the students confidence as much as possible.
Thank you for checking out my profile and I hope to see you soon in class! 😊

Hello, I'm Louise and I'd be happy to help you on your English learning journey.
I believe communicative lessons are the most effective, so although we will cover all the skills in our sessions together, they will always be combined with plenty of speaking practice.
The most frequent feedback I get from my students is that I’m very patient and encouraging, and that they love the energy in my classes.
Exams - IELTS (Academic, General and Life Skills), FCE, CAE, CPE
I teach effective strategies for tackling the exams.
My experience working as a Cambridge speaking examiner means I know what the examiners are looking for in the speaking part of the test.
I help you to develop your English skills to push up your level and achieve the exam results that you need.
I focus the lessons on the areas of the exam you find the most challenging ensuring you take the exam with confidence.
In addition to this, I provide plenty of practice test materials to fully prepare you for the exam.
General English

Hi there! My name is Alessia and I'm a certified English teacher from Canada. I've been living in Lucca, Italy for the past seven years and I love it!
I've been teaching for over seven years now. In 2016 I completed my TESOL certificate and shortly thereafter began teaching at a private elementary school. I've worked with people ages 5-55 and my favourite thing about teaching is getting to know people from different cultures and learning all about their customs and traditions. My second favourite thing is seeing my students succeed and achieve their language goals!
My approach to teaching depends on the individual needs of my students. Each lesson is customized to the unique goals of my students. That being said, you can definitely expect homework in my classes! For conversation lessons, we'll focus on using media to expand your vocabulary and spend the entire lesson speaking about different topics. For those who need a grammar brush-up, we'll use various books to support your learning but still focus on conversation to help you fully integrate what you've just learned!
I also have experience preparing students for the IELTS exam for both immigration and academic purposes. I absolutely love the IELTS exam in that it provides students with a real challenge and something to aspire to. I have a wide variety of resources that I use to help you prepare which cover everything from grammar and vocabulary to the actual "how-to's" of writing the exam. If you are interested in working with me on exam prep, I suggest AT LEAST 3-6 months to prepare properly for the exam since you'll not only need to improve your language skills but also your exam-taking skills.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you and supporting you to reach your language goals!

Dear students, greetings!
I've had my degree in emergency medical care for an amazing 16 years, and I find teaching this topic to be very fulfilling. I started my journey as an English teacher for a non-profit organization about ten years ago. I worked hard to obtain my TEFL certificate in order to improve my teaching abilities.
I sincerely feel privileged to be able to impart my vast knowledge and experience to each and every one of you.
As a teacher, I firmly believe that it is crucial to modify my teaching strategies to meet the individual needs of every student. I enjoy teaching people who have a never-ending curiosity just as much as I enjoy learning new things. You may expect a vibrant, useful, pleasurable, and stimulating educational experience.
With great anticipation, I look forward to working with each of you to achieve your learning goals. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Together, we will create an enjoyable and rewarding learning experience.
I'm here to help, whether your goal is to improve your English for a forthcoming trip or to become fluent in order to pursue your ideal job. To get started on your learning journey, please feel free to schedule a trial lesson with me.
I sincerely look forward to getting to know every one of you and helping you fulfil your language-learning goals. If you have any questions or issues, don't be afraid to contact us. Combined, let us make your journey to learn a language joyful and successful!

Hi, I’m Rob, a native English speaking teacher from Canada currently living in Prague, Czech Republic, with 20 years of ESL and university teaching experience. I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, including fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation and intonation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.
My teaching style is relaxed, friendly, and engaging—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students mainly enjoy having conversation, but I also often use videos and texts of various kinds and even songs to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and lessons are individually designed to each student’s level, interests, and requirements.
I’ve taught English in Vietnam and Czech Republic since 2016 and also have 12 years of Canadian university teaching experience in cultural history and in architecture/design. I’m also a writer-artist-designer. I received a professional architecture degree in 1989 and the Trinity College Level 5 English teaching certification in 2019. I’m a native English speaker with an easy-to-understand, neutral Canadian accent.
For the last 2 years, most of my English teaching has been online, though I also enjoy teaching non-virtually. I primarily use and recommend the Zoom platform for online teaching for its reliability, video/sound quality, and support for varieties of teaching resources. Students can use Zoom from their browser or by downloading the app on your computer or phone/tablet (but use of the app on your computer is recommended for the best quality).
So, if this sounds like what you’re looking for, I invite you to sign up for a trial lesson with me, and we’ll take it from there …

Greetings and welcome! I'm delighted to be your English instructor. Together, we'll embark on a fascinating exploration of the intricacies of this captivating language.

A wide range of thoughtfully chosen topics.
Practical vocabulary and phrases for everyday use.

Ample chances for self-expression to boost confidence.
Preparation for interviews, tests, flexible grammar learning, and proficiency in business and formal English.
Classes are interactive and suitable for all levels, whether you're starting, an intermediate learner or maintaining your current proficiency.
I use the communicative approach as it emphasizes that the goal of language learning is communicative competence. My goal is to facilitate, help, advise and to be a language resource.
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.
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.
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.
Lessons are conducted one-on-one, allowing you to receive personalized attention from your tutor. lessons are conducted via video call, and you can use any device with a stable internet connection and a webcam to join the lesson.
Your tutor will create a customized lesson plan based on your goals, learning style, and current level. During the lesson, you will have the opportunity to speak, listen, and interact with your tutor in real-time. Your tutor may also provide you with additional materials, such as audio recordings or written exercises, to help you practice and consolidate your learning.
On LanguaTalk, you can find highly qualified tutors who offer personalized 1-on-1 English lessons based on your goals and learning style. Here's how it works:

2 - Schedule a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free, while others offer a discounted price.

Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutor also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this is available, it will be noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, we recommend 55-minute lessons for most students. You may want to consider 30-minute lessons only if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice, or if the lesson is for a child.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial lesson. Many, but not all, tutor offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be reduced to 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at a minimal cost.

The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so they can customize any lessons you decide to take. You will be encouraged to speak in English as much as possible, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial lesson, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can schedule a trial lesson with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
The advantage of taking lessons online is that you can learn at any time and from any location. When you select a tutor, check their calendar to ensure that they have available slots that fit your schedule. Some tutor may have limited availability due to high demand from other students.
