About the FOUNDER & Contact Info
Name: Teacher Jona
Professional Background: LICENSED English Teacher/ IELTS Instructor
DETAILS: Hello,I'm Teacher Jona. I'm a Broadcast Communication graduate. That's why I love communicating and knowing different nationalities. Ever since, I do have the passion for teaching. In fact, I just got my license as an English teacher. I have been teaching English for about 6 years. I teach students from beginner to advance level.
My teaching style depends on each student. I usually get to know my student before I can evaluate and come up with a good teaching strategy for him or her. Since I focus more on speaking, I encourage my students to talk more as a way of practicing and becoming confident.
Aside from teaching, I'm also a trainer. I have developed different training programs for teachers as well as aspiring ones. For me to become an effective educator, I continue learning. I have attended different language programs such as English Proficiency and Mandarin Language programs. I'm hoping to meet all dedicated students in my class! ^__^
