About Me
italki teacher since Nov 19, 2021InterestsFoodMusicGamingFilms & TV SeriesPets & Animals
As Taylor Swift said, “You are what you love,” and I’m a teacher because I truly love teaching!
🌏 Born and raised in the Philippines, I grew up speaking Filipino (Tagalog) and learned English as my second language. This personal journey helps me connect with students learning English.
👩🎓 I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Tarlac State University.
🎶 In my free time, I love singing, playing the piano and ukulele, and cooking. Music is a big part of my life, especially Taylor Swift's songs— they inspire me to bring joy and creativity into my teaching.
🐶 I’m also a huge dog lover and proud fur parent to six adorable dogs.Me as a Teacher
📜 As a TESOL-certified teacher with 5 years of experience, I’m passionate about helping students master English.
👩🏫 I’ve taught learners of all ages, but my specialty is working with children. My approach is patient, dedicated, and goal-oriented, ensuring each student feels supported and motivated.
📚 I cover basic English, conversational and travel English, grammar, reading, and writing. My favorite area is phonics—especially with beginner kids—where I make learning letters and sounds exciting and interactive!
🔠 Need help with homework? I’ve got that covered, too!
Let’s make learning English an exciting journey filled with growth and confidence. 🌟My lessons & teaching style
⭐ In my class, I create a friendly and supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves in English. My interactive lessons encourage participation, helping students build confidence while learning effectively.
⭐ Every student has unique goals and interests, and I tailor my teaching to meet their individual needs. I foster a safe space where students feel free to make mistakes, learn from them, and celebrate their progress. I keep detailed notes on their grammar and pronunciation, providing clear feedback for continuous improvement.
⭐ I’m passionate about sharing practical knowledge and experiences, empowering students to use English confidently in everyday life!My teaching material
