About Me

Hi, I’m Teacher Kristine! 🌸 A passionate ESL and Tagalog teacher from the Philippines, I specialize in helping kids (6+) and adults speak confidently—whether for daily life, exams, or cultural connections. With 6 years of experience, I blend Filipino warmth with adaptable teaching to make language learning joyful and effective. I love bridging cultures through language! My classes are lively, patient, and tailored to your goals, from casual chats to academic English. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me exploring nature, reading books, or humming to OPM music. Let’s make your language journey fun and meaningful! 🌱✨Me as a Teacher
I always strive to create a comfortable and supportive learning environment for my students. I’m friendly, enthusiastic, patient, and approachable, which helps build strong connections and encourages active participation.
I continuously motivate my students and create space for learning through mistakes. I provide gentle corrections and practice the target language with them to build both skill and confidence.
I make it a point to extend discussions naturally and ensure that every lesson is engaging and valuable. Before each class, I take time to review and research the topic to be fully prepared.
I am a committed, goal-oriented teacher who aims to help students reach their full potential My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style depends on you—the student. In general, I follow the “I Do, We Do, You Do” model, along with the 70:30 principle, which encourages more student talk time compared to teacher talk time.
As a flexible and dynamic educator, I adapt my approach based on each learner’s needs and level. I incorporate a range of teaching styles including the Demonstrator, Facilitator, Delegator, and Hybrid styles, depending on what best supports the student’s learning.
I strongly believe that effective teaching comes from the ability to adjust and respond to the student, ensuring that every class is meaningful, engaging, and focused on progress.My teaching material

My second lesson with Kristine, and very happy with the lesson plan and quality of teaching. Her strong command of the English language makes it much easier to teach Tagalog to an English-speaking student.

I couldn't be more thrilled with my progress! Kristine has been amazing! I had a Filipino friend from Las Vegas visiting (haven't seen him in over a year), and he was shocked at how much of the conversation I understood. I won the jackpot finding Kristine as a teacher!

The teacher is truly wonderful. She makes the child love learning through distinctive and engaging educational tools, encourages the child to speak more and gain greater confidence, and develops the child’s language skills, including how to build complete sentences in the present and past tenses. Thank you very much.

They came up with a teaching plan that works great for my child. The communication was excellent, and they were able to respond to my questions promptly. After the trial class, my child was really happy and engaged actively in the class.
