Where are you, dear? If you're close to where I live, I'd happily teach you for free. It's fun!
I'm in Austin, TX

Sheh sheh, Joanna, for asking me!
Please add me to your "friends" & then post me privately. We will correspond, but it would be best if we could physically meet. Are you near me?
I have taught English as a second language ("ESL") for years, and I have specifically taught several students from Bejing. I have learned from them that China often teaches correct English spelling and grammar, but rarely teaches pronunciation.
It is THAT policy which makes it best to actually meet with you -- unless you have free long distance! We could accomplish much over the phone.
Please contact me privately.

There are sites that might help you train your spoken and listening skills. You can try this. http://www.livemocha.com
I tutor there for free. But it doesn't mean the teachers there will have 100% of their time. You need to set a certain time and continue on submitting your lessons then they will help you. Take care =)

I come from China. Several years ago, my Enghlish is not good. But now, I have had a lager progress. The only way to study good Enghlish is that as more as possible you can listen English,as more as you can speaking English.

Dear Susanna, I've found Mylot helps with English, at least with your writing skills.
Keep on posting and reading posts, revise your grammar from time to time.
I'm an ESOL teacher and I'm recommending this site to my students.
By the way, I have a colleague who teaches online. I'm not into that stuff due to lack of time.
I don't know how much she charges or what she uses (I think she uses something called Spike or something similar to messenger), but if you're interested PM me and I'll send you her e-mail address.
