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!

Hi! I’m Maria (Sam)—a passionate and experienced polyglot and language tutor from the Philippines. I’ve been teaching online since 2015 and have conducted over 11,000 lessons with students from all over the world.

As a native speaker of :
📍Tagalog,
📍Bisaya (Cebuano),
📍Ilonggo (Hiligaynon),
📍Karay-a
📍and a fluent English speaker with a C1 level and a 100% American accent, I know what it takes to learn and master multiple languages. I bring that same understanding and empathy into every lesson I teach.

I tailor each class to your goals—whether you’re learning for love, travel, work, or personal growth. You can choose between structured lessons or relaxed conversation practice (open cam or audio-only—whatever you're comfortable with). We can talk about your interests, career, or even do reading practice to sharpen your accent and fluency.

As a fellow language learner, I understand the excitement and struggles of the journey. That’s why I’m here to guide, support, and help you speak with confidence—at your own pace, in your own style.

Let’s enjoy learning together. I can’t wait to meet you!
