Specialized kids/teens teacher ⭐ 9+ years of experience ⭐ Adults welcome ⭐ Confidence guaranteed Hi! 😊 I’m Tana Monk—a native English teacher specializing in helping kids and teens master reading, grammar, and confident conversation. With my 160 hours TEFL/TEYL certification and 8+ years of experience teaching students from Poland to China, I’ve learned how to make English fun and effective for both young and adult learners. ✅ As an American-Filipino who’s lived in Canada, the USA, the Philippines, and New Zealand, I bring a global perspective to lessons. 🌏 When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me playing baseball (yes, I’m a National Team player!) ⚾, coaching softball 🥎, exploring new foods, or cuddling my dogs 🐶. Let’s turn language hurdles into victories—your confidence starts here! 🏆🌟 Does your child need to prepare for English exams? Do you want your child to get better at all the necessary English skills needed to excel in school? Do you want your child to become a successful English speaker? You have come to the right place! 👩‍🏫 I specialize in teaching students from 5-18 years old. ✈️ I also offer classes to adults who want to improve their travel English, business English, everyday English, and more! 📚 Improve through visual materials, including short readings, dialogues, listening tasks, comprehension questions, discussion time, and homework. 🤗 I understand the struggle of learning a new language. Currently, I am doing my best to learn Tagalog. My experience allows me to give you tips on how to learn efficiently and quickly.

Teacher Tana has supported my kid for like more than 100 lessons. She guided my kid to achieve massive improvement throughout the journey. As parents, I can trust her :) Thank you, Ms. Tana, and we wish you all the best in your baseball career, as well as enjoyment in teaching kids.

Today is my daughter‘s 16th lesson w/ Ms Tana, persistently once a wk（re：9yrs old）. I have to say ⋯ I’ve no regret in choosing you as her English teacher so far. My daughter is quite a shy and reserved little one ⋯ but Ms Tana can make her TALK！A very creative, patient, interactive & WELL PREPARED teacher she is. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED！！

First, I wanna say thank you, Tana, and so honored to meet you here, and I'm so grateful to teach me a lot of things and correct my grammar even though sometimes I would make some mistakes, you always are so patient for me and try to repeat many times until I fully understand, I really appreciate you do everything for me and share a lot of things about baseball and life, so I'm about to go New Zealand and start my new journey, but I'll make some time for joining your class as soon as I can, hope see you soon Tana!!
