About Me
Hello! My name is April Ann Jaranilla Lloren, with a passion for language and cultural exchange, I strive to create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students can confidently develop their English skills. My core teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to take risks and truly use English. I believe that language learning isn't just about memorizing grammar rules or vocabulary lists; it's about communication, connection, and cultural exchange. In Taiwan, I'm particularly excited to help students bridge the gap between textbook English and real-world application, empowering them to express themselves authentically. I see myself not just as an instructor, but as a facilitator and a guide, helping students unlock their own potential and build a genuine love for the English language.
