Hi! I’m Meinard—a TESOL-certified English teacher with 6 years of experience in Business English and IELTS, and 9 years working in the IT industry.
Outside the classroom, I’m an adventurer at heart. I love exploring new cultures, traveling, hiking in nature, gardening, cooking, and staying up to date with the latest in tech and gadgets. I often bring these interests into our lessons, making learning more engaging and relevant to your life and passions. Whether you enjoy talking about global trends, food, culture, or innovation, we’ll build your skills while having meaningful conversations.
Moi en tant que professeur
Helping others grow and improve has always been at the core of what I do—whether in my previous career as an IT Engineer or now as an English teacher. My background has equipped me with strong communication and analytical skills, which I now apply to language teaching. On italki, I offer personalized lessons tailored to your level, goals, and learning pace, ensuring a supportive and engaging experience every step of the way.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My lessons are customized to suit each student’s level, skills, and background, based on an initial assessment. I use a variety of lesson plans from different platforms, which I adapt to match your specific goals and interests. Whether you enjoy discussing travel, technology, daily life, or current events, I make sure the topics are relevant and engaging—while naturally incorporating grammar, vocabulary, and key language points when needed. My teaching style is flexible and spontaneous, but I always maintain structure where it supports meaningful progress. I also provide regular feedback and progress checks to ensure you’re continuously improving at a comfortable pace.

It was another perfect lesson with Meinard. He is not only patient and encouraging teacher, but also responsive person. Meinard is very knowledgeable and ready to support almost every topic. Highly recommend him.

Meinard is an excellent teacher. He explains things thoroughly and ensures that you're following and understanding the content. He is well prepared with material and made sure that the lesson was tailored to me and and where in my Tagalog journey I'm in. I'm definitely looking forward to lessons in the future. Maraming Salamat!

Meinard has very good homework to work on in between lessons. His lessons flow from one to another, and he consistently guides me until I have mastered a concept.
