📌 Please read class conditions before booking! 📌
👋 Hi! I’m an italki instructor since 2012 with 20+ years of ESL experience—both online and in classrooms.
🎓 Certified in TESOL & TEFL-C
🌍 Taught and lived in Germany, China & Czechia
💼 I help working professionals (A2–C1) improve fluency, accuracy, and confidence, and prepare for IELTS, Cambridge (B1–C1), and job/university interviews.
🎯 I also offer fun, tailored lessons for kids to build expression, grammar, reading, and pronunciation.
📍 From the Philippines, based in Europe since 2016.Che tipo di insegnante sono
📌 I’ve been teaching English since 2003, and every student I’ve worked with has taught me something new! Over the years, I’ve developed structured yet flexible lessons that adapt to each learner’s needs and goals. My focus isn’t just on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, or fluency — it’s on helping you feel comfortable and confident using English every day. ✅
⭐ As someone who also learned English before teaching it, I understand your challenges. My students say I’m fun, patient, and easy to talk to, which makes learning feel natural and enjoyable. ❤️ Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
🔑 In your first class, we’ll do a fun, personalized evaluation to assess your listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills—and to get to know your goals and learning style.
💡 By the end, I’ll create a tailored study plan, recommend the best materials, and pinpoint the areas that will give you the fastest progress.
🎯 Every lesson after is custom-designed to match your skills, interests, and personality, so you can boost confidence, improve fluency, and achieve your English goals faster.
Can’t wait to start your journey! 🤗❤️Il mio materiale didattico
