Has anyone used Italki or a similar platform to aid in their studies?

I’m considering taking weekly lessons with a tutor, the main goal in specifically improving my speaking.

I’ve lived in Japan for a few years and work in a Japanese company and while my comprehension is okay, my output is terrible and I always hesitate to speak.

I’m hoping a tutor would give me some real-time feedback on my speaking and help build my confidence.

I don’t need a professional teacher / structured lessons and I guess my budget would be around ¥2000 for the hour (is it reasonable?)

Please let me know your experiences.

    Thanks for sharing, did you stick with the same tutor throughout the 2 years?

      I think I had three or four tutors, but one in particular I stuck with for about 18 months straight.
