Intermediate+ English Through Meaningful Conversations | Philosophy & Meditation | 20+ Yrs in Asia - Hello, こんにちは, 你好, 안녕하세요, and selamat siang! I'm Devon, a native English teacher from Canada, living in Bali 🌴 I specialize in helping intermediate to advanced learners develop natural, confident English for expressing complex ideas and having real conversations. My teaching style is relaxed, thoughtful, and conversation-focused. I've spent over 20 years living in Asia, including many years in China and Japan, and have taught English to thousands of students over the years. With a background as a professional DJ and bar owner, and as a lifelong student and practitioner of philosophy and meditation, our conversations can go far beyond ordinary small talk. What We Can Explore 🍃 Zen, Chan & Daoism 🧘 Meditation & contemplative practice 🌿 Simplicity, contentment & the good life 💭 Meaning, purpose & everyday life 🎵 Music, culture, history & society 🌏 Life and culture in Asia I also offer dedicated courses in **Zen, Daoism, Epicureanism, and Stoicism**. What to Expect Our lessons feel more like a meaningful conversation over coffee than a traditional classroom. I'll provide gentle corrections, useful vocabulary, and live-typed notes while allowing the conversation to develop naturally. If you'd prefer more structure, we can also use an Engoo Daily News lesson or another topic of your choice. Adults only. Intermediate level and above. No exam preparation. If you want to improve your English while having conversations worth having, I'd be happy to meet you.

Native English Speaker / CELTA Certified / Fortune 50 Corporate Communications I am a native English speaker from the United States. I can help you achieve English fluency by improving your grammar, refining your pronunciation and prosody, and expanding your vocabulary. I have completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, graduate study in Education, and a CELTA certification program which is considered the highest qualification for teaching English. While I am new to Italki, I am not new to teaching; I have taught over 400 English classes to adult learners. I also have decades of experience in corporate communications for leading global companies like Microsoft and Alaska Airlines. Accordingly, I am able to teach adults how to communicate with clarity and professionalism in interviews and at work. My English classes are customized to the learning style of each student. We discuss the topics that interest them, whether that is work or their personal interests, such as travel, art, or music. I help them develop an English-speaking style that is natural and appropriate for the environment in which they live, work, or study. My teaching style is professional and focused, but also light-hearted, encouraging, and warm. This is because I believe that learning English with a teacher should be a positive experience. I do my best to keep my Italki calendar up to date for the current week, but, as it changes quickly, it can sometimes be out of date. I am happy to work with you to align on a day and time that works best for you. Thank you.

Learn English at Your Own Pace **I do not offer classes for children** I am a British native speaker from Cheshire (North West of England). Now I live in Italy, where I’m studying for a Master’s degree in Linguistics. I have a Bachelor's in French and Japanese, and lived in Kyoto for a year. Because I had these experiences with languages, I really understand how difficult it can be to speak. I often remember myself in my students’ positions and I try to teach in a way that feels supportive and relaxed. In my lessons, I adapt to your level and your goals, I’ll meet you where you are, without pressure or stress. I focus on understanding what you really need. There are so many resources to learn English, but sometimes the problem isn’t lack of support but not having the time to understand our blocks, like how we think and feel while learning. Common goals my students have: “I know English, but when I speak, I freeze.”  → You can take your time in the lesson. Every hour of English, you will feel more confident that speaking is possible “I know when I speak I make grammar mistakes.”  → I use a word document in the class where I write notes we can look at. We can do activities for any grammar points that come up. “I just want to improve my English.”  → We can just chat! We can explore topics you enjoy and focus on conversation.

Playful, immersive learning through creativity, games, stories, music, and meaningful conversation. Over the years, I’ve worked with infants and young children (from 6 months old), children and teenagers in group and 1-1 settings, families and homeschoolers, neurodivergent children, and adults who want to truly live a language, not just study it. My teaching style is playful, immersive, and deeply human. I believe languages are learned best when curiosity comes before correctness, communication matters more than perfection, and learners feel safe, relaxed, and engaged. As a teacher, I focus on creating encouraging spaces where students can take risks, make mistakes, and build real confidence using the language.

We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time.

    Learning English

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

Most learners see noticeable improvement with 2–3 English tutoring sessions per week. Your tutor can tailor lessons to practice the situations you need, whether professional communication, casual conversation, or presentations.

Can you learn English without a tutor?

Yes, you can learn English without a tutor, but most learners progress faster when they work with an English tutor.

An English tutor helps you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix pronunciation and grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Many learners try to study only with apps, books, or videos, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online English tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine English tutoring with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the English lessons you take.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online English lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on English conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional English tutors for foundational skills and community English tutors for speaking practice.
