From tech jargon to travel stories, I help professionals (HR, Software Dev, Hospitality, managers, students, and the like) speak confidently. Love movies or philosophy? Let’s discuss *anything*—while leveling up your English! Book a lesson, and let’s turn your goals into reality.
Me as a Teacher
It has always been my core to help others to better themselves whether working as an IT Engineer dealing with technical stuff or as an English teacher. Even before teaching, I've always been asked by my friends and colleagues to proofread, check and evaluate their English compositions and the like. I can assure my students that they will have a great learning experience based on the proficiency level and at their own pace.My lessons & teaching style
The lessons I provide will be customized to the student's skill and learning level based upon the initial assessment. There are various learning packages that I would suggest they could book according to their results. From time to time, I would evaluate the progress of the students.My teaching material

It was another perfect lesson with Meinard. He is not only patient and encouraging teacher, but also responsive person. Meinard is very knowledgeable and ready to support almost every topic. Highly recommend him.

Meinard is an excellent teacher. He explains things thoroughly and ensures that you're following and understanding the content. He is well prepared with material and made sure that the lesson was tailored to me and and where in my Tagalog journey I'm in. I'm definitely looking forward to lessons in the future. Maraming Salamat!

Meinard was excellent at recognizing my strengths and weaknesses and guiding me through areas I could improve. He also gave me lots of specific resources I could review before our next lesson.

Meinard has very good homework to work on in between lessons. His lessons flow from one to another, and he consistently guides me until I have mastered a concept.
