Konnichiwa! I’m Aileen—a licensed teacher specializing in English, Filipino (Tagalog), and Japanese, with 15+ years of guiding students from beginners to TOEIC achievers. My Bachelor’s in English (with honors!) and TEFL certification fuel my dynamic lessons, where we explore languages through films, food, and real-world conversations. Whether you’re prepping for exams or craving fluency, let’s make learning feel like an adventure. Ready to start? 一緒に学びましょう!Me as a Teacher
As a dedicated and licensed educator, I bring a multifaceted background in teaching English, Filipino, and Japanese, both in traditional classrooms and through online platforms. My teaching journey spans over a decade, allowing me to work with diverse learners—from university students and professionals in Japan to international language learners through iTalki and other online schools. My professional qualifications have equipped me with a solid foundation in both content mastery and effective pedagogy. Throughout my teaching career, I have prioritized creating a learner-centered environment. I believe that students thrive when they feel heard, supported, and challenged in meaningful ways. My lessons & teaching style
I believe there’s no one-size-fits-all method for learning a second language effectively. Each learner is unique, so I take the time to understand my students’ interests, goals, strengths, challenges, proficiency level, and learning style. This allows me to tailor my teaching approach to best support their growth. I draw from a wide range of methods and strategies I’ve gained through my academic training and years of teaching experience. I also value open communication—encouraging students to be honest and proactive about what they want to improve and how they wish to achieve their language goals.My teaching material

The best always. Been having free talks with her. She never gets bored of my stories and keeps asking me questions afterwards. That shows she cares and pays attention to my stories. Book sessions with her and you never disappoint.

Really great class! She asked good questions to understand my goals and what I already know. And then explained new concepts very clearly. I learned a lot!
