As a teacher, I am positive and patient and I can easily adjust to the level of my student. I want my class to be fun yet informative. I'd like me and my students to be friends so they would feel comfortable and relaxed while learning. I encourage the student to talk more so that they could practice their speaking skills and boost their confidence. I believe that learning should always be fun so that we could learn more.

I could teach Phonics and Compound Letter Sounds to zero-level English Learner. Vocabulary, reading, and comprehension practice are integrated into basic science, stories and trivia to kids and teens depending on their level.

Wow. That's a long journey. Hopefully I can achieve my desired score and go back to you with happiness and readiness to move on the next chapter of my life. If I passes, I'll be excited to have our next lessons, which could be anything fun dry and silly questions of IELTS. Haha. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. You're amazing and inspirational. Wish our effort would be paid off. <3

Teacher Vema is very professional. I love how she introduces a brief history of the Tagalog alphabet. She actually has a workbook and lesson plan for my daughter's Tagalog class. I love that she asks if it's okay to have homework to help her familiarize herself with the words and lessons discussed.

Teacher Vema is very professional. I love how she teaches the words and explains how Tagalog words are formed, using them to help her students gain a clear understanding of their creation. Highly recommended. My daughter also commented on how she made the class fun to learn.
