***Please reply to my messages after you have sent your lesson request. I do not teach children, and I only use Zoom for lessons.***
Hi! My name is Chacha, and I am from the Philippines. When I am not teaching, you can either find me walking around my city taking pictures or spending time with Peanut, my little bundle of energy in a shape of a dog.
I enjoy watching movies and videos that teach me something. I love learning about other cultures and sharing mine as well.
Me as a Teacher
I have been helping students improve their English for 10 years. My students are often from various countries in Asia, but I'd love to expand my horizons and help learners from other countries.
I mainly cater to adult learners of all levels.
PLEASE READ THIS: Expect questions coming from me before I accept your lesson/package requests for the first time. It is a way for me to know your goals, expectations and how you would like to be corrected during the class. If you cannot reply within a reasonable period of time or for some reasons, my messages cannot be sent, I will have to decline your request . I hope you understand. :)
and oh... I only use Zoom.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style depends on my students' needs and levels. Oftentimes, I use the Communicative Approach to teaching for ESL classes as it gives students more opportunity to use the words and structures they learn in real-life situations. Reviewing words, phrases, and grammar structures encountered in my previous lessons is often a part of my sessions as well. This way, it ain't easy for my students to forget them, and it also serves as a challenge.
I also have six years of experience teaching exam preparation courses like IELTS and TOEIC, so if you need help to achieve your target score, I'm here. :)

Chacha is a very good teacher and a fantastic person to talk to. He always has materials prepared, but most often we talk about other topics that are interesting to both of us.

She is the best teacher whom I met. I love conversations with her. She has great knowledge about many topics and amazing ease in discussions. Usually, we start class by talking about the weather or what happened last time, but a moment later we switch to something much more interesting (psychology, history, geography, differences between places in the world, hobbies, literature, cinematography, behavior at work, architecture, politics, ...). Very often, these discussions were very deep and demanding.

Chacha provided me with numerous tips on how to approach each part of IELTS speaking section. She patiently listened to my responses, sought to understand them, corrected my mistakes, and gave suggestions. I found her guidance very helpful for the exam. Looking forward to our next class.
