If you ask most students what do they want to do in the classroom, most of them will say 'I want to speak' and this is totally understandable as this isn't really something you can do on your own, especially when you live and work in a monolingual environment. That's why online English lessons are great because they can give you that opportunity to speak to someone using Skype, Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet in English and let you use your spoken English skills out of the cage where they have been for so long. But, you should make sure the teacher you are working with is aware you are there to use your speaking skills and improve your confidence, fluency, and if they are doing their job correctly, your accuracy too. There is nothing worse than being trapped by gap-filled exercises as your teacher says 'let's look at exercise D' when all you want to do is talk about the amazing 2 weeks you spent in Brazil last month. Remember, the teacher works for you, so you should be calling the shots - making the important choices. 

Of course, the Internet is a massive place and you don't really need to find an online English teacher and pay for those Skype classes or Zoom lessons because there will be people just like you looking for the same thing. An opportunity to speak, speak, and speak some more. I've listed a few options below to help you set free your spoken English.

Online English Speaking Club - If you've never heard of a speaking club you might know it as a conversation club, no? OK.

Online English Speaking Club has small numbers which is great for opportunities to speak, plus, the host is an English native speaker from England which makes things nice and natural.
