About Me
italki teacher since Apr 18, 2019InterestsTechGamingFilms & TV SeriesTravelBusiness & Finance
TESOL-certified Business English and IELTS teacher with 6+ years of teaching experience and a 9-year background in IT Engineering. I help professionals, job seekers, and exam takers build confidence in speaking, workplace communication, interviews, and exam preparation.
My lessons focus heavily on speaking and real communication. We explore practical topics like business, technology, travel, daily life, and current events so you can use English naturally in real situations—not just in textbooks. Grammar and vocabulary are introduced in context to help you speak more clearly and confidently.
Before becoming a teacher, I worked as an IT Engineer for 9 years, so I understand the communication challenges many professionals face in international environments. That experience also helps me create lessons that are practical, goal-oriented, and relevant to your needs.
Every lesson is personalized based on your level, goals, and learning style. After an initial assessment, I adapt materials and activities to match your interests and areas for improvement. Whether you want to improve conversational fluency, prepare for IELTS, or communicate more effectively at work, lessons are designed to support steady and comfortable progress.
My teaching style is flexible, supportive, and conversational while still providing enough structure to keep you improving consistently.My teaching material

We talked in Tagalog / Taglish for the whole lesson with Meinard patiently listening / helping and providing vocabulary where helpful. Excellent practise tailored to my level and needs. Afterwards Meinard also provides homework tailored to the lesson.

Every lesson with Meinard is soooo fun. He keeps things light but productive. He is very good at finding gaps in my language and letting me know how to fix them. I am at a point where we can start the lessons with just chit chat, but once he realizes I don't understand a word, misunderstand how to use a grammar point, or just don't get the context he always slows down, backs up, and explains it in a way I understand. Can't wait for the next lesson!
