Hello, I'm excited to teach you English as I love studying language and speak several of them. I was born and raised in the United States in the state of California and have traveled to over 30 countries across the world. I currently live in the Philippines with my loving wife and son where I teach and tutor English. I'm also a published professional writer.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching for over a few years now and have helped over 100 students improve in their English speaking and understanding. I am also a writer who has several published pieces from short films and commercials to newspaper editorials and even poetry and novels. I can help you expand your communication skills greatly as I am a creative writer and also have helped in business training courses as well. So from whichever path you want to go in learning the English language, I can help you.
My lessons & teaching style
I focus on developing your conversational skills, because that is ultimately what you want to learn, to be able to communicate with others. I cater my lessons to the students needs though, so for beginners I'll focus more on grammar basics and for someone who wants to stick with a focus like business or writing then I adjust to that.

Aphiah is a great teacher, I am so happy for learning English with him, because he is very well experienced with teaching and he is always friendly and supportive. Lessons with Aphiah are very enjoyable for me, because either he helps me to improve my speaking and pronunciation or my songwriting style. We discuss the song lyrics and it is very motivating and fantastic experience for me thanks to his creative mind and deep understanding. I feel that there is always time for a discussion and questions. It has been such an amazing time with English since we've started! Thank you :-)

Aphiah was a super nice and funny teacher. We talked a lot about travel, our countries and the differences in culture between them. I wanted to brush up on my English and let my pronunciation be rated, Aphiah was a great teacher to choose for that.
Thanks again for the great conversation and lesson.
Till next time!

Great class. Aphiah helped me understand the dialogues of a movie I'm trying to subtitle, and he was very efficient. I hope to schedule more classes with him.
