About Me

Hi, I’m Kristine Aficial!
I’m an ESL teacher from the Philippines with 6 years of experience teaching students from 6 years old to adults. I love helping learners speak English and Tagalog with confidence.
I enjoy learning about different cultures and meeting people from around the world. In my classes, I’m friendly, patient, and supportive, and I focus on helping students express themselves clearly and connect with others through language.
My interests include nature, the environment, food, travel, music, and movies. I’d love to help you on your language journey! 🌱✨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!
