Hello dearest,

When you study English, the first thing that people usually expect from you is to learn grammar. A lot of students focus on the technicalities of the English language so they can have perfect scores in school and tests. Once the test is done, they tend to forget what they've studied.

This is why I always tell my students that the key to learning and mastering a language is through daily conversations. The objective of communication is to understand and be understood. What's the use of perfect grammar if you cannot express yourself due to lack of confidence?

My goal in creating this lesson is to make you feel confident with your conversational and listening skills. We can talk about any topic! Some of you live in a place where English is not always spoken; therefore, you need to practice this with someone who knows the language by heart.

I look forward to hearing from you!

About Me
Hello DEAREST,

I've been teaching English online since 2014. I started when I was still in university. I thought to myself: I have a lot of free time and have always been passionate about great conversations and foreign cultures so why not?

I currently work for an airline as a Social Media Team Lead. I manage and guide my own team of agents who assist passengers 24/7. Because of my job, I am able to travel and explore the world!

When it comes to learning any language, daily conversation is important. Grammar is necessary but I believe you will get to master this once you know the basics. The best way to master a language is to practice it daily with someone who knows it by heart.

In the Philippines, we speak two official languages - English and Filipino. I've been speaking English since I was a kid so you can be confident that I'm a good language partner.

My lesson is mostly Free Talk. My goal is to allow my students to practice speaking and listening. This is why I also don't call myself a teacher but rather a language partner.

I'll convince you more when I see you. ;) Happy learning!
Education
I graduated from the University of the Philippines. During my first two years, I studied Literature. I then changed my major to Tourism because it was a booming industry during my time. I still love Literature and I am happy that my love for language and art remains to be a passion of mine. Studying tourism opened my eyes to foreign opportunities as well as enabled me to become more culturally aware and embrace diversity.
Experience / Qualifications
I am currently working on my TEFL Certification. However, I have been teaching English online since 2014. I have worked with students of diverse backgrounds and ages. I am also a passionate content writer in English and a Team Lead by profession so coaching and daily conversations are my strengths.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hoi! Ik ben een 17-jarige tweetalige student uit Spanje en spreek vloeiend Nederlands en Engels. Ik zit in mijn laatste jaar van mijn A-levels (VWO) en heb mijn IGCSE’s al afgerond op een britse school. Hierna wil ik graag een opleiding tot leraar volgen.

Ik geef online Engelse lessen aan kinderen op basisschoolniveau. Ik kan helpen met spreken, lezen, woordenschat, uitspraak, grammatica en Engels voor school. Ik kan de lessen in het Engels geven en waar nodig in het Nederlands uitleggen.

Mijn lessen zijn ontspannen en aangepast aan het niveau en de leeftijd van ieder kind. Ik wil Engels vooral leuk maken en kinderen helpen om meer zelfvertrouwen te krijgen. 😊

Hi! I’m a 17-year-old bilingual student living in Spain, and I speak fluent Dutch and English. I’m currently in my final year of A-levels and have already completed my IGCSEs at a british school. After school, I would like to study to become a teacher.

I offer online English lessons for primary-school children. I can help with speaking, reading, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and school English. Lessons can be taught in English, with explanations in Dutch when needed.

My lessons are relaxed and adapted to each child’s age and level. I want to make learning English enjoyable and help children become more confident. 😊

Is your child changing school systems, preparing to enter a French- or English-speaking school, or simply looking to become more confident in speaking and writing? I design a tailored programme in French or English. 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
Who it's for: children and teenagers (primary, middle and high school), in international schools, moving between two systems or catching up.
Children who change schools and countries often are remarkably capable, but they rarely get to build a stable sense of "this is my place." In each lesson, your child practises speaking with confidence, leading part of the session, defending an idea and reflecting on their own progress. The goal is not only a stronger level in French or English, but a child who walks into a new classroom knowing they have something to say.
How I work: a first diagnostic lesson to identify level and goals, followed by a personalised learning plan. Every session is prepared for your child: conversation, reading, writing and study skills. Parents receive regular feedback.
My background: bilingual English-French, teaching experience in France, Finland (non-formal education) and an elite international school in Switzerland.
I take a limited number of students to guarantee quality follow-up.
To start, book a first diagnostic lesson.

Bring your CV, essay, assignment, or a situation you're nervous about, and we'll work on it together. You'll practice speaking, fix your writing, and understand why each correction is made, so the same mistakes stop coming back.

Homework help covers essays, reading comprehension, and writing.

I'm a native English speaker from the US with a B.S. and M.S. from NYU and a background in professional writing and editing.
