Hi! I’m Joy Marie Varquez, a Licensed Professional Teacher from the Philippines with a passion for making English learning fun, meaningful, and joyful!

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of San Jose–Recoletos, where I graduated in 2015. In 2021, I also earned 24 units in Professional Education, further strengthening my foundation in teaching and child development.

I love dancing, hosting events, and swimming. I’ve been fond of playing Scrabble since I was in elementary school, and I enjoy watching anime, sci-fi, and action movies.

I'm currently a Foreign English Teaching Assistant (FETA) at Nanzhen Elementary School, teaching English to elementary students alongside the local English teacher. For the past two years, I’ve been teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) online with Engoo, working with amazing learners from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Turkey. My classes are interactive, student-centered, and built to boost confidence and communication skills.

In addition to teaching, I worked as a Freelance Virtual Assistant for four years with Australian clients. I also bring four years of experience in Human Resources.

I’m known for being dedicated, reliable, and always optimistic—whether I’m teaching a young learner their first English words or helping professionals sharpen their speaking skills.

Welcome to Joyful English, where learning is not just effective—it’s joyful!

I look forward to helping you on your English journey.  Feel free to contact me via Line.
