About Me

Hello! My name is Lyn and I am a graduate of Urdaneta City University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Prior to my experience teaching English as a second language online, I tutored grade school students in my village from 2020 to 2022 during the pandemic, assisting them with English, Filipino, Science, and TLE subjects. This experience further solidified my enjoyment of helping others learn and honed my ability to adapt to different learning styles and create engaging learning activities.

I am certified in TEFL and have experience teaching English as a second language for over a year. I enjoy creating a relaxed and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and explore new ideas. Seeing my students progress and gain confidence in their English skills is rewarding. I'm a patient and understanding teacher who focuses on building confidence and helping students achieve their language learning goals.

Outside of academics, I'm a curious learner myself. I enjoy listening to music, diving into podcasts, and exploring things that pique my interest. I am also currently learning a new foreign language (Korean) on my own. I'm a friendly and approachable person who loves to learn new things. I'm excited to connect with you and see how I can help you on your learning journey!

If you love traveling around the Philippines or would like to know more about the culture - You have to speak Tagalog because number one - Tagalog is our national language, it doesn't matter where you go in the Philippines. Most of the locals speak and can understand Tagalog. Number two - we find it really cute when a foreigner could speak Tagalog. And since the locals are very friendly they might even treat you extra special because they appreciate that you're trying to learn our language.

I'm here for you, let's provide you the best Slang/Simple Tagalog that can be helpful as you travel around the country.
E.g. Para po! = I'm getting off - please stop the vehicle. (Taxi, Jeep or Tuktuk)
Magkano? = How much?
Magkano last price? = (You are negotiating for a cheaper price) = What's your best price?

In the Philippines - we use Taglish!

Students will learn Tagalog Language from basic to reading and writing.
Conversational Tagalog is an introductory-level text that was created for adult foreign/second language learners of Tagalog. It is designed to give practice in idiomatic Tagalog conversation by focusing exercises on simple language functions. The lessons are developed to encourage the interactional nature of communication. The book provides situations that are relevant to the lives of adult students. The situations force students to think about the meanings and consequences of what they say.

Learning a Language might get someone frustrated and that is why I offer the help of teaching particularly in learning English. Whether conversational, Business English and Travel English, I want to help in achieving someone's goal to be fluent in speaking the English Language because this language is universal. In addition, it is important that if someone is interested in applying internationally in the future or even making friends or study abroad, it is clear that WE should know how to express ourselves using the English Language at young age as much as possible.

I am an ESL teacher for 8 years now. I taught English to my students who live in other countries. Even though I am a teacher of the English language, I am a Filipino, and our native language is Tagalog. I can teach young learners and adults our mother tongue, as it is the first language I have spoken. Tagalog is the language that I am confident in teaching. I am good, especially with grammar, spelling, pronunciation, etc. I can be a good teacher for my future students.
With ESL, I have taught English to my students from other countries, such as South Korea and China. I also have a Teaching as a Foreign Language, or TEFL certificate. My experience as an ESL teacher has been a great help to me in teaching my students excellently.
I have taught from young learners to adults. I also handled business English for business people. I also had experience teaching IELTS.
