Online language classes
Over the last few years online language classes have gone from being the alternative to being most learners’ first choice, because they deliver the same quality as in-person teaching without the travel and with far less scheduling to work around. Not every online class is the same, though. What actually gets results is the combination of the right teacher and a class pitched at your level and your goal.
TeachyTalk is built for exactly that. Instead of dropping you into a class that has already been decided for you, it leaves the choice in your hands: you pick the teacher, and the time of your online language class fits around your life. Whether you want to build your speaking, prepare for an international exam or learn a new language from scratch, the path you follow on TeachyTalk is personal and dependable. And because the first session is free, you can judge it for yourself before you commit any money or begin a course.
Why an online language class is the smarter choice
Learning a language takes time and energy, and it stands to reason that the energy should go into the learning itself — not into traffic, travel and classes that do not fit your schedule. An online language class removes exactly that friction. Here are the main reasons to choose one:
Complete flexibility of time and place
You fit classes around your working hours and your own routine, joining from home, from work or anywhere else. Cutting out the travel alone gives you several hours a week back, and that makes it much easier to keep going.
The best teachers, wherever you happen to be
Online, you are no longer limited to the teachers in your own city. From specialists across the country you can pick exactly the person whose expertise matches your language and your goal — something in-person classes rarely allow. Wherever you are in Iran, or in the world, TeachyTalk lets you start one-to-one language teaching with the country’s best teachers.
A more sensible cost
An online class carries none of a physical school’s overheads, so it usually works out cheaper. If you want to save more still, a group class splits the cost between several learners at the same level.
Learning built entirely around you
In a private online class your teacher’s attention is entirely on your weak points and your goal. The course is set by your level rather than pitched at an average for everyone, and that noticeably speeds up your progress.
Transparency at every step
Before you book and sign up for an online language class you can see each teacher’s profile, background, specialism, rating, reviews from other students and exact price. There are no hidden charges, and you know precisely what you are paying for. And well worth noting: on TeachyTalk your first session is a trial, completely free of charge.
Different online language courses for different goals
Everyone starts learning a language with a particular goal, and it is that goal which draws them to it in the first place. Learning a language means something different to each person: one is learning it in order to emigrate, another for a promotion, a third simply wants to speak fluently. That is why TeachyTalk offers targeted courses alongside the general ones, so everyone can move at their own pace. Some of TeachyTalk’s language courses are as follows:
International exam preparation (IELTS, TOEFL and more)
For an exam you need a teacher who specialises in that exam — someone who knows its structure, its techniques and the fine detail of each section. This course prepares you for your target score through focused practice and realistic mock tests.
Online language classes for children
Teaching children is not the same as teaching adults: it needs a specialist teacher and a play-based approach. TeachyTalk’s children’s classes are designed so that children do not get bored, stay keen to carry on, and enjoy learning — because childhood is the best time to start a language.
Language for emigrating and applying abroad
If you are heading abroad to study or work, this course is built around what emigrating actually demands — from the general language you will need to the communication skills that matter in a new environment.
Online conversation classes
If your goal is to speak fluently and without stress, this course is about exactly that. The whole session goes on conversation practice, building your confidence and getting past the fear of speaking, so you escape the “I understand it but I can’t say it” trap.
Business and specialist language
English — or any other language — is genuinely useful at work: for business correspondence, meetings and the specialist vocabulary of your field. This course suits people who want the language as a professional tool rather than as general knowledge.

Parviz Hajizadeh
English conversation teacher
I’m Parviz Hajizadeh. I’ve taught English for 5 years in person at language centres and for 2 years online.

From your first class onwards I’ll design a free weekly plan around what you need.
Aida Hashemi
German and English teacher
Hello! I’m a master’s student in psychology and I’ve been teaching English and German for several years. My interest in languages began when I realised that real learning happens when the mind and the emotions are engaged together. In my classes I try to create a safe, stress-free space so you can speak comfortably and grow in confidence. If you want to learn effectively and see real results, I’d be glad to work with you.

Cost is probably one of the first things on a learner’s mind when they start online language lessons — and some also worry about paying for a class that turns out not to be right for them.

Pricing is completely transparent. The cost of an online language class is set by the teacher’s level, specialism and experience, and it is shown openly on their profile before you book.

What our learners say
Real experiences from learners who reached their goal with TeachyTalk’s online classes.
My IELTS score went from 6 to 7.5 in three months. My teacher shaped every session around exactly the things I was weak at, and the mock tests were just like the real exam.
Sara Mohammadi
IELTS preparation
I passed TestDaF on my first attempt. My teacher taught me exactly the exam techniques I needed and stayed patient with me the whole way through.
Hossein Mousavi
TestDaF preparation
After years of being too embarrassed to speak, I now talk confidently in work meetings. Because the class was one-to-one, I did the talking for the whole session instead of just listening.
Ali Rezaei
English conversation
As a complete beginner I was frightened of the grammar, but the classes were calm and practical. Three months on, I could handle everyday situations comfortably.
Zahra Ahmadi
German A1 to A2
Booking classes around my own schedule was easy, and the free trial sessions helped me find a teacher I genuinely felt comfortable with. Best money I have spent on learning.
Maryam Karimi
General English
The flexible scheduling fits around my job perfectly. Every session is a real conversation rather than a dry textbook, which makes learning genuinely enjoyable.
